[QUOTE="Kaliman911, post: 98598, member: 17201"] Hello guys. I need some guidance on possibly adjusting my protocol due to high SHBG. Here is my story, I have been on Test Cyp for about 4 months and it has worked very well for me. Started with a low dose of 100mg per week injecting E3.5D, no AI, no HCG. Two months later, on my follow up lab, I noticed my SHBG had gone up to the upper range of the scale to 53. At that time my total T was at 768 and my free T at 14. My doctor increased my dose to 160mg to get my free T in the 20’s. I said OK. I continue the same protocol at E3.5D, but I added HCG at 350 IU’s per shot E3.5D on the days of the T injections. I just got my second follow up blood work and the total T increased to 1038 and my free T did get to 24. My Estradiol sensitive also went up to 43, but I don’t feel any symptoms at all. Libido, energy, sleep, strength are great. I do not take an AI and I don’t think I need it unless I get symptoms. Now, my SHBG still high at 51 and I’m considering changing my protocol to once per week. Is that the right approach? Or should I leave it as it is? It is not going any higher and still within range and free T got into the 20’s. Everything seems great other than a little acne on my shoulders. By the way, my blood work was done fasted on the day of my next injection, before the injection. I have also been taking stinging nettle root and Armour Thyroid. Not sure if that is keeping SHBG at bay or not doing anything at all. Also, if I change to once per week, what should I expect? Would Estradiol go higher? DHT? Hematocrit? I don’t want to trigger issues. Here is my blood results: Total Testosterone 1038 (264-916 ng/dL) Free Testosterone 24.1 (6.8-21.5 pg/mL) SHBG 51.6 (16.5-55.9 nmol/L) Estradiol Sensitive 43.2 (8.0-35 pg/mL) Hematocrit 45.1 (37.5-51 %) Hemoglobin 15 (13-17.7 g/dL) fT4 0.82 (0.82-1.77 ng/dL) fT3 3.4 (2.0-4.4 pg/mL) TSH 0.110 (0.45-4.5 uIU/mL) PSA 1.6 (0.0-4.0 ng/mL) Hematocrit still normal and not sure if it will change in the future. So no need to donate blood. I hope it stays like that. I would really appreciate any input. Thanks. You guys are great and a tremendous asset to this forum. [/QUOTE]
