[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 109970, member: 15832"] What's happening to you is common, it usually take 1-3 weeks for your pituitary gland to shutdown do to exogenous testosterone and end the honeymoon phase. You must be patient and wait for your body to adapt to the exogenous testosterone, your head will start to become clearer and the benefits in the coming weeks will become clear if your hormones are balanced out. Often some tweaking is needed and most require at least several months to find the right dosage, how long this takes is determined by the skill of your doctor. Your SHBG is no lower than mine at my 4 week checkin, you'll just require more frequent injections than someone with high SHBG. Possibly smaller injections EOD, I don't respond well to TRT unless I'm injecting EOD. I'm concerned that you don't have any thyroid labs, if you start TRT with low thyroid function (me) your results will be unimpressive and you may feel worse than pre-TRT. I've been on TRT for a year and all this time I had hypothyroidism, my results have been poor as a result. My doctor only believes in TSH testing and missed the high Reverse T3 and high levels of thyroid antibodies test that shows my thyroid is being attacked by my immune system. So that means my SHBG is being suppressed by hypothyroidism and should be higher than my pre-TRT SHBG level of 22 nmol/L. [/QUOTE]
