[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 7130, member: 696"] Harry, regarding SHBG, it can be calculated easily enough with your Total & Free Test labs, plus your albumin value. Going on your last labs, presuming your Albumin is in the 4.3 to 4.4g/dl area, your SHBG is sitting right at 12nmol/L. Again, that will deviate a little bit up/down with different Albumin levels, but it's probably not too significantly higher or lower than what's noted above. My SHBG is also on the low end, suspected to be tied in with my liver and genetic issues effecting ferritin and iron. With that said, I tend to keep my total serum level in the 600ng/dl to 700ng/dl range, as low SHBG will obviously promote higher Free & Bio Testosterone levels; yours is currently sitting at 3.41%. IMO, the injection route is the way to go. Not sure what happened with the going back to "baseline" experience. The only time that has really happened with me is a change with E2, which in the past was just getting the AI protocol figured out. The other time was finding out my compound testosterone went bunk. The easiest way to put a finger on it is just getting more labs. Your conversion to E2 might be more significant with the injections, whereas you possibly had a higher rate of downstream conversion to DHT with the Gels. That's a common situation between the different application methods, which again requires attention with incorporating and/or adjusting AI protocols. Hope some of this helped ... [/QUOTE]
