[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 93914, member: 15832"] Add me to the list of guys discovering how horrible I felt towards the high ranges (SHBG is 18-20), who knew I hit my sweet spot on the first attempt. When I first started TRT my protocol was 75mg once weekly and felt pretty damn good except for the last few day of the week, so instead of spitting up my shots I asked my doctor for an dosage increase. Started new protocol of 50mg twice weekly and felt pretty good but got a little teary eyed when watching TV. So to manage my E2 issues I began injecting 25mg EOD, what a mistake as I blew past 850 ng/dL and my E2 became a wild animal. My new protocol is 17.5mg EOD and feeling better everyday since I reduced my dosage only a week ago, I know it usually takes 4-6 weeks to feel the full benefits, can only imagine what lies in store for me. I'm going to shoot for 550-650 ranges, it's really a guess of where I believe I'll end up. 75mg once weekly put me at 531 ng/dL with a trough of 442 ng/dL, so 17.5mg EOD (70mg total weekly) should net me slightly more than 531 ng/dL. When I was on 200mg E3W I noticed the point at which my body starts holding on to my T better, I would peak at 1200 and 10 days later I'd land 400-600 ng/dL at which point the loss of T slowed down quite a bit. My thinking is I simply didn't have enough SHBG to grab ahold of all of that T, probably pissed it right out and held onto only the high E2 leftovers. I don't believe any low SHBG guy should ever shoot for high normal, we just don't have enough SHBG to hold onto that much real estate! Leave the high normal ranges to high SHBG guys since they have the real estate to utilise all of that T without all that waste. [/QUOTE]
