[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 84829, member: 15832"] You're going to require small more frequent dosing with an SHBG at the bottom of the normal range which will very likely drop below the low normal range once you start TRT. Large doses of testosterone will drive SHBG into the floor and drive up your E2, you'll need to inject minimum twice a week with every other day (EOD) being best choice when considering your SHBG. My SHBG was a few points higher than yours before I started TRT, now it rests in the upper teens. Low SHBG can be the result of insulin resistance and being overweight, lifestyle changes can improve the situation. Back when I was on weekly injections I felt a little low a few days before my next injection, that's because testosterone has an average half life of 8 days, so you can see why injections every 2 weeks doesn't work since most of what you injected is almost all cleared out by then. Your doctor isn't qualified enough to properly balance your hormones and will be unable to do much of anything for you should you present with the side effects of taking large doses infrequently. You deserve better care than what he can provide. A sound protocol would be 100mg .5ml twice weekly or 100mg .25ml EOD for guys with low SHBG. HCG will help preserve fertility and keep the boys downstair from pulling up tight should that become a problem. My testicals pulled up tight for a couple of months, but are now regularly hang without HCG. [/QUOTE]
