Hi,

My life has improved significantly since I started TRT, but I am a bit concerned about the increased Oestrogen and SHBG, as the latter is presumably also one of the root causes of my original problems?
I have presented my blood work in the attached graph, in chronological order, to better see the trend of how TRT has affected me, and would _really_ appreciate if someone knowledgeable can see if the respective values looks healthy.
Edit: I am unsure if the included image is of sufficient quality, and I don't have enough rep to add image links, but you can try this obfuscated imgur link (replace X with s).

- 11/6-18: I got blood work done due to depression, fatigue, loss of sex drive, ... [see test/20171116].
- 04/01-18 started Testogel. Gels both had an effect on the previously mentioned symptoms and free T [see test/20180201], but I was a bit concerned about contamination to my young daughters, so I stopped with gels and started Nebido injections.
- 15/4-18: Nebido injection #1.
- 29/5-18: Nebido injection #2. My free T had fallen to 2.2(!) [see test/20180529], and SHBG was increased to 67, so this injection was therefore taken the same day.
- 29/6-18: Blood work results [see test/20180629]. This indicates that free T is now within the reference range (5,5 - should be 2,2 -> 9.9), but SHBG is at 71 (should be 8->60), Oestrogen is at 0,23 (should be < 0.18), and Total T is (too?) high.
