[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 119789, member: 16042"] Lower dose, more frequently for SHBG of 21.2 is the going wisdom around here. 200mg/week single dose is considered bad protocol for you. With low SHBG, you metabolize available testosterone fast as free T then excrete excess in your urine. Higher SHBG keeps more T bound in your system longer and guys with high SHBG can do OK on less frequent dosing. You are probably going to be experiencing a hormonal roller coaster as your free T skyrockets after injection then plummets before the next. Frequent dosage creates less peaks and troughs and amore steady state with your levels. You are also more susceptible to high estradiol and hematocrit on 200mg/week. These are some of the most common topics on this forum from new members. Seriously, several people a week come here with the same situations and the same problems from being put on bad protocol: low SHBG, improper dosing frequency and high starting dose at 200mg/week. Very few men do well on that kind of protocol, especially those with lower SHBG. More reasonable is starting around 100mg/week dosed EOD (every other day). However, there are some who would want to start even lower, maybe around 80mg/week EOD or daily, see how it goes then adjust upwards if needed. Starting at 100mg/week you might subsequently be faced with uncertainty whether to adjust up or down if needed. Lower weekly dosage indeed does theoretically get you more mileage from your prescription. There is not much of anything that works to increase your SHBG. That's just a condition of who you are. TRT may change it a bit over time. [/QUOTE]
