[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 176242, member: 15832"] Well your free testosterone is getting bound to SHBG and therefore your LH is better indicator of T production. Really what should be happening with a strong properly functioning HPTA is to increase LH which would be the body recognizing the low Free T situation and increasing LH in an attempt to increase Free T, but in your case if LH is unchanged, this would mean your pituitary gland is sluggish. There are a couple of reasons for high SHBG, liver disease, cutting to get to a lower body fat percentage, in other words starvation. Another possible cause for high SHBG is secondary hypogonadism (low-T) where the body is trying to hold onto what little testosterone you do have. You'll never be able to increase Total T high enough naturally to have sufficient Free T levels, so your question is the approach to someone with enough knowledge to treat you is TRT. If the doc is not very knowledgeable, he/she will tell you that your levels are normal. Estrogen is needed for bone strength, it puts minerals in bone and without enough estrogen, osteoporosis is all but guaranteed. Clomid is out of the question because it's known for increasing SHBG and yours is always far too high and would make your Free T situation much worse. Libido is sexual desire where you're attracted to women and thinking about sex. Libido is in the brain, you can't have libido without enough estrogen. Healthy men should be waking up with erections and have them while sleeping. [/QUOTE]
