[QUOTE="riverside, post: 73023, member: 14064"] Hi all, I know there are countless low SHBG posts but I felt the need to start another. Are most of us normal SHBG before TRT? Does that matter in any way? I am thinking of drastically cutting back my dosage as my free T is consistently high. I have had Total T almost to 1000 with a similar protocol as well with a very high Free and Bioavailable T. Obviously my SHBG is drastically lowered by TRT. Since that is the cause, can't I reduce my dosage to increase SHBG? I started TRT at 140mg weekly and have titrated up while trying to balance E2 as I am a hyper converter to estrogen and high metabolizer of hormones. I am now wondering if I never hit my sweet spot which could be around 100mg weekly split into daily injections and maybe my SHBG would tick up? Even if it didn't, maybe my free E2 would be a more normal value as it seems total T doesn't matter to low SHBG guys. Libido and bad ED directly related to a lack of libido continue to be my primary issues. I have waves of feeling good but they don't last long (few days). Please let me know what you think. Natural levels in 6/2016: SHBG = 33 (11 - 57) Total T = 193 (241 - 827) Free T = 3.5 (3.7 - 23.28) My recent labs (5/2017): SHBG = 16 (10-57) Total T = 745 (240-950) Free T = 31.3 (4.65 - 18.1) E2 = 19 (10-40) Current protocol: 26 mg Test-C Every Day 220IU HCG eod .25 mg Anastrazole Every Day 6000 IU vitamin D ED 25mg DHEA ED [/QUOTE]
