[QUOTE="CROM, post: 167932, member: 16642"] Sounds like you’re saying you are 25 years old. What is your IGF-1 score? At 25 it might be out of range on a blood test but that doesn’t mean it’s clinically high for your age. As you get older it should fall into range. I am 45. My IGF-1 is 225 when I am eating normal amounts of carbs. It went down to 210 on low carb. I’ve heard excessive carbs can raise IGF-1. My SHBG is between 6 and 9. Diets, metformin, long-term low carb…nothing has worked to raise my SHBG. But I still feel good on TRT compared to before. I take 70 mg of T per week and feel great. I feel better at 100 mg per week but can’t do it because I start getting acne problems. But what makes me feel even better is when I get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, low carb lifestyle, a healthy body weight, lifting heavy weights and going on long hikes. Makes me feel like a million bucks. Maybe there are things you still haven't tried yet that might make you feel better. Also, how much T were you taking. Even though I only take 70mg of T per week my E2 is at 46. Which for a low SHBG might start affecting erection problems and being more emotional. I started experimenting with micro doses of AI and already getting better woods and less emotion. At 70 mg per week it gets my Total T at 436 and free T at 115 (with a free T scale of 35 to 155). [/QUOTE]
