[QUOTE="tj, post: 140004, member: 38431"] Hi Al, I have been reading a long time here on the forum but decided to post here and interact more. Some background info and labs. ( Because i live in Europe i made the conversion to the us) before trt (2015) lab was: total t 274 ng/dl shbg 14.6 free t 7.86 ng/dl estrogen 23 pg/ml Could not build muscle, tired, low libido. Almost 3 years on sustanon with different protocols. Started with androgel but quickly went to Sustanon injections. Prescribed was 250 mg Sustanon every 3 weeks. After a trough of 260 i got prescribed 250 mg every 2 weeks until now 150 a week but have 250 mg ampoules so i can use more if needed. Protocols i tried: Once a week 125mg 150mg 250mg. (felt nothing) Every 3,5 days 62.5mg 70mg 80mg 100mg (still nothing) And since december 2018 60 mg eod Never used an ai. Lab on 60 mg eod was 6 weeks after starting and exacly 48 hours after injecting: total t 836 estrogen 75.18 pg/ml (non sensitive) free t 27.2 ng/dl shbg 14.4 hematocrit 0.50 dhea 7.6 umol/l (= i think 280 ug/dl of i did the conversion correct) then went on 65 mg eod (227 a week) because i still didn feel good. Total t after 6 weeks on this protocol and exactly 48 hours after injection 778 ng/dl. Hematocrit 0.49 Thats on a higher dose a lower level of testosterone?? Still i dont really feel optimized. Libido is still not were i want it to be. Erections only at night sometimes weak morning wood. Orgasms sometimes good. Stats [LIST] [*]38 years [*]195 cm (6,5) [*]Bw 105 kg (230 lb) [*]Waist 94 cm [*]Bf 13-14% [*]Training 3 times a week bodybuilding training My questions are: [*]Should i up the dosage of testosterone. Or is it better going to ed shots because of low shbg. [*]Should i add dhea? [*]What to do with the low shbg? It was low before i started and never was higher than 18.5 on all the different protocols. [/LIST] Thyroid and glucose levels last year: tsh 2.3 t4 16.5 pmol/l t3 5.4 pmol/l hba1c: 5,20% My goal is fatloss, building muscle feeling confident and have good libido and erections. What are my options? [/QUOTE]
