[QUOTE="optimizely, post: 120731, member: 22230"] Hello, Long time reader of this forum. First time actually posting. I’ve been on TRT for 2 years due to steroidal induced hypogonadism. I’m 25. Total T was low 200’s and never came back. After two years of TRT i’ve finally come to the conclusion and realization that I have low SHBG and thus higher estrogen conversion and high free T. All of which I learned about from this forum and Dr. Crisler. I’ve always focused on having my total T number in the upper physiological range (as you will see in my blood work) and ignored SHBG, Free T, and Bioavailable T. I’ve felt good on TRT but not great. Libido has always been trash after starting TRT 2 years ago which is frustrating. My current protocol is 200mg/week of test Cyp injected IM Monday and Wednesday with 1mg anastrozole on injection days. My plan is to switch to SQ injections EOD with anastrozole EOD. I guess my question to the board is what testosterone and anastrozole dose should I switch to EOD knowing that I am a low SHBG. Last couple blood panels I was 10 and 11 SHBG. Injecting 200mg/week had my free T and bioavailable T numbers double the highest upper limit number of free T. Things that I wonder now is if it’s better to base your labs off you free T numbers and disregard total testosterone number. Everyday I’m learning and try to get better. Appreciate any input! Last blood panel is below: Total T: 1126 ng/dl Free T: 496.8 pg/mL Bioavailable T: 1,021.7 ng/dl Estradiol sensitive assay: 35 pg/mL SHBG: 11 nmol/L [/QUOTE]
