[QUOTE="Kaliman911, post: 91558, member: 17201"] Hello all and thank you in advance. Little bit of history, I'm a 42yo male, 6'1”, 193lbs and 13% BF. Workout with heavy weights 5 times a week and cardio once per week. I'm on my 6th week of TRT recommended by my doctor for low energy and low libido, poor erections. The doctor found issues with my thyroid too and it is also being managed with Armour thyroid. My current protocol is 100mg of Test Cyp which I split on two doses every 3.5 days Sub Q. So 50mg per injection. I take 1.5 grains of Armour. I supplement with 10,000IU of vitamin D, 3g of fish oil, B12 and Curcumin. Now, my concern is that on my follow up lab results my SHBG level went from 29 to 53 (16.5-55.9 nmol/L), my total Test is at 768 (264-916 ng/dL) but my free T didn't move much from 14.3 to 14.6 (6.8-21.5 pg/mL). I am assuming the higher SHBG levels are binding to more free T than usual. Could the injection frequency have contributed to this? By the way, I am not on any AI nor HCG. My E2 came back at a 13.5 (7.6-42.6 pg/mL), but I think the lab messed up and didn't do the sensitive assay. So don't know for sure how my E2 is. I feel pretty good though. should I do a single weekly injection of 100mg per week instead? here is the rest of my lab results: Total T 768 (264-916 ng/dL) free T 14.6 (6.8-21.5 pg/mL) Pregnenolone <10 ng/dL SHBG 53.6 (16.5-55.9 nmol/L) Estradiol 13.5 (7.6-42.6 pg/mL) probably not sensitive assay TSH 1.36 (0.450-4.500 uIU/mL) fT4 0.82 (0.82-1.77 ng/dL) fT3 3.4 (2.0-4.4 pg/mL) rT3 10.8 (9.2-24.1 ng/dL) Vitamin D 71.2 (30.0-100.0 ng/mL) Vitamin B12 488 (232-1245 pg/mL) Prolactin 8.1 (4.0-15.2 ng/mL) DHEA-S 73 (31-701 ng/dL) Energy has improved a little and libido also, but not as much as I expected. Thank you [/QUOTE]
