[QUOTE="benaoao, post: 176225, member: 40482"] I was reviewing blood tests from back when I was still natural in 2016. Total T in the 800s, single digit free T (pg/mL), E2 around 10 pg/mL. Then I started using steroids for about 18 months, hopped off. Total T in the 600s, free T and E2 around 12 pg/mL. I’m 10% fat year round. I’ve tried [I]bulking harder,[/I] got pre diabetic (6.2% A1c) with sky high cholesterol (LDL 200+) instead. Normalized upon dropping kcals back to normal. Ripped, but no E2. I’m on nandrolone right now but what’s below describes me when I’m off everything. Symptoms: I don’t know... What’s a libido... Men are supposed to wake up with an erection without drugs? 31yo men don’t all have knees that sound like Rice Krispies whenever they squat and shoulders that pop while doing lateral raises? And that this never seemed to improve even on extremely minimalistic training? Kidding. ALL the symptoms. It’s clear to me that my total T levels are only decent “thanks” to SHBG. I know SHBG’s importance and studies show that all I’d gain from arbitrarily lowering it is less Test and same low free T and E2. I haven’t seen many cases like mine. E2 should be high alongside SHBG. If free E2 tests were commonly available I guess mine would be undetectable. I know that many docs try various therapies when total T is on the low end of the range. [B]What’s their approach when total T is perfectly normal but free T and E2 are trash?[/B] [/QUOTE]
