[QUOTE="Voltz, post: 202183, member: 42658"] Hi there, been reading the past week or so in search of a solution to my problems listed below. - Age, 43 - Weight 284 - Height 6'1 - 22 year lifter, former competitive powerlifter - Absolutely zero libido - Fatigue, no motivation, do not find enjoyment in activities I normally would. - Feel stuck in a very monotone area when it comes to mood. Mood is stable but I'm rarely happy. - Tough to make gains or see body composition changes over the past 5 years I've been lifting. - Erection quality is 70% and sensitivity is approx. 40% to 50% of what it should be. I've been seeing a hormone specialist based out of a well known hospital in RI. I've complained about these symptoms I've been experienced since 2018. Test Cyp prescribed @ 180mg/wk. I typically have blood drawn 6 days post injection. My latest results - Albumin 4.4 - Total test 655 - SHBG 18.1 ( been as low as 14.1) - Test free 185.3 - Test bioavailable 444.0 - Estradiol 55.4 I don't recall ever having prolactin or DHT tested. From what I've read I would be considered to have a low SHBG which could be one of the factors in the way I feel. I understand micro dosing may help to manage my estrogen better and possible raise my SHBG. I'm a bit frustrated knowing a low SHBG is a well known issue from what I've read here but my doctor never addressed it. I am going for labs on Tuesday ( test, estrogen, LDL/hdl) and requested they add vitamin D, B12, DHT and Prolactin. Anything further I should add to the list ? Any advise other than finding a more aggressive/ progressive doctor as I've been stuck in this hole for the past 3 years and it's having a major impact on my quality of life. Thanks [/QUOTE]
