[QUOTE="madman, post: 153652, member: 13851"] What is this obsession with driving down SHBG? Sure your levels are on the higher end but are by no means very high and again due to the newer understanding regarding SHBG:T binding.....even with having a higher SHBG.....very high TT levels are not needed to achieve a healthy FT. As we went through this before in your previous thread using the newer calculated Tru T method.....your FT levels are just above mid-range and I would put my money on it that most of your issues would be resolved by dropping the HCG and increasing your T dose slightly to bring your FT levels up. [B]TT 783 nmol/L,[/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]SHBG 53 nmol/L[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B](by no means very high)[/B][/COLOR] and [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B]Albumin 4.3 g/dL (mean) [/B][/COLOR]than your [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]FT is 25.05 ng/dL[/B][/COLOR][B] (just above the [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]mean 23.5 ng/dL[/COLOR] of the reference range [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]16-31 ng/dL[/COLOR]).[/B] [ATTACH=full]7863[/ATTACH] Current side effects: [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Insomnia, up/down energy levels, inconsistent results all around, acne, muscle aches/cramps[/COLOR][/B] Dropping the HCG and increaing T dose may very well be all you need! I understand you are still young and maintaining your fertility is critical but I would just try dropping the HCG for 3 months while increasing your T dose.....that way you will truly know if the HCG/average FT levels are the cause of your grief!
