[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 180425, member: 15043"] Diet and workouts didn’t change. Think it was just due to being on NDT. I know that it’s very common for SHBG to increase when on thyroid medication, but not really sure why. I’m assuming the increase in free T3 increases SHBG for some reason. Here’s my labs on 2.5 grains of NDT, and then 3 months later on no thyroid medication. SHBG went back down to baseline once I stopped taking the NDT 4-30-19 Labs were while on this protocol: TEST- 122.5 mg/ week (17.5mg ED of Prop) No HCG No AI 2.5 grains of NDT per day Total T - 1423 (250-1100 ng/dL) Free T - 134.8 (46.0-224.0) Bio T - 265.5 (110.0-575.0 ng/dL) SHBG 63 (10-50) E2 Sensitive - 72 E2 NOT Sensitive - 49 E2 Free - 1.02 (<0.45) (0.2-1.5) Albumin - 4.3 (3.6-5.1) IGF-1 - 202 (53-331) DHEA-S - 465 (106-464) T3 total - 230 (76-181) T4 total - 9.4 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 7.3 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 1.6 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 22 (8-25) TSH - 0.01 (0.4-4.5) Thyroglobulin antibodies - (<1) Thyroid peroxidase antibodies - (1) Range - (<9) Iron, Total - 109 (50-180) Iron % saturation - 37% (15-60) Iron Binding Capacity - 292 (250-425) Ferritin - 45 (20-345) 7–23-19 Labs were while on this protocol: TEST- 147mg/ week (42mg EOD of PROPIONATE No HCG No AI No NDT Total T - 1002 (250-1100 ng/dL) Free T - 134.2 (46.0-224.0) Bio T - 287.7 (110.0-575.0 ng/dL) SHBG 39 (10-50) E2 Sensitive - 45 E2 NOT Sensitive - 41 E2 Free - 0.94 (<0.45) (0.2-1.5) DHT - 75 (16-79) Albumin - 4.7 (3.6-5.1) IGF-1 - 225 (53-331)DHEA-S - 440 (106-464) Progesterone - 0.5 (<1.4) T3 total - 106 (76-181) T4 total - 6.0 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 3.3 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 1.0 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 12 (8-25) TSH - 0.78 (0.4-4.5) Iron, Total - 173 (50-180) Iron % saturation - 55% (15-60) Iron Binding Capacity - 315 (250-425) Ferritin - 30 (20-345) [/QUOTE]
