[QUOTE="BillyJ03z, post: 178321, member: 17759"] From my many posts on this forum many people probably know by now that I am a Low SHBG guy (8-18 labcrop range) which manifested after starting TRT 10 yrs ago... I have never gotten dialed in despite numerous changes in Test dosage, injections, etc... It's been a struggle to lose weight despite strict dieting and good eating. Im in decent shape but just struggle to cut, drop weight.. Anyway, last year in May 2019, I changed my protocol to 16mg test cyp ed/SQ and I added 1/2 grain Armour Thyroid (30mg).. unbelievably I was able to drop 27lbs and cut up nicely for the summer ( all within a 2 month period)... Upon checking my labs in July 2019, my SHBG went up to 28, but my FT3 dropped from 3.8 to 1.5, FT4 dropped from 1.1 to .5, TSH dropped from 2.3 to .95.... basically my thyroid panel went from optimal to bad, but somehow I was able to drop weight and build some nice muscle easily even though my mental energy/mood decreased from the thyroid drop. My TT was 743, FT was 26, E2 was 56 and SHBG was 28... I stopped taking the NDT in August 2019 due to the decrease in my Thyroid panel and my SHBG has dropped back to my usual 8-18 range and Im back to struggling to cut weight again for the summer...
