[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 104168, member: 15832"] It's true low SHBG means more of your testosterone is free, but we need SHBG to activate our free hormones on our receptors, so without SHBG your testosterone is floating in limbo. When low SHBG guys inject more frequently, it maintains maximum free T at all times never allowing it to drop below a point where you run low. Injecting twice weekly will allow free T to drop lower since you are allowing it to drop for 1 and half days longer before another injection, the longer you go without another injection the lower free T will get. A comparison, in you were to inject 100mg once a week versus 25mg EOD, you testosterone levels would be much higher injecting 25mg EOD. If you allow free T to drop too much between injections recovery can be stalled and you could be left wondering why TRT isn't working anymore and why you still have remaining symptoms of low testosterone. Whenever you make a small change to your dosage or start injecting more frequently, your body must adapt and it takes 6 weeks for your blood levels to stabilize as your levels are thrown out and fluctuate for about 4-6 weeks. It's also true most doctors neglect the thyroid and often miss important tests do to lack of knowledge or perhaps their satisfying the insurance companies by lowering their costs. That means you sometimes you miss an important diagnosement, I've heard these stories where guys always knew something wasn't right and found out years later they had been living with hypothyroidism do to an incompetent doctor year earlier. You need Free T3 at the very least, this is the free thyroid hormone and is where the rubber meets the road. [/QUOTE]
