[QUOTE="Eric Peterson, post: 105220, member: 225"] I have been on TRT for 6 years starting with compounded cremes, then Axiron and always struggled to get levels up and for the past 6 months switched to IM injection. My current protocol is as follows: 100 mg Testosterone cypionate weekly; 250 IU 3x/week. I just had labs drawn at trough (Quest Diagnostics) and they are as follows: Total T 826 NG/dL (250-1100) Free T 80.9 pg/mL (35-155) Estradiol ultrasensitive 29 pg/mL (<=29) SHBG 62nmol (10-50) Hct 47.7% Hmg 15.7 (13.2-17.1) Prolactin 5 NG/mL (2-18) PSA 1.9 Questions: 1) I have been doing all sorts of things to lower SHBG (stinging nettle, Vit D3, boron, magnesium) but it seems not to be doing anything 2) Would increasing my testosterone dose be a better strategy for pushing free T higher? 3) If I did the conversion correctly my free T is .98% of the total and should be closer to 2%. If I should increase my done, by what amount. Should I go to 125 mg/week? 30 Estradiol seems to be at the top of the range, but I am not having symptoms. My nipples have itched in the past when I have gone too high but not the case now 3) I asked to have prolactin pulled because I have been having difficulty achieving orgasm. The result seems to be fine. Is there another explanation? Let me know what you think. Eric [/QUOTE]
