[QUOTE="BillyJ03z, post: 137159, member: 17759"] Continuing my research into TRT and it's effects on bodily functions..... I have found that TRT (testosterone replacement) definitely lowers SHBG and how far it drops is dose/replacement dependent.... In my case I was I was mid-range at 34 (16.5−55.9 nmol/L) labcorp... Since I have been on TRT (approx 200mg/wk Cyp) my SHBG has been 9-15 at all times of testing... There was a time looking at my past labs where I actually inadvertently reduced my trt dose for a 6 week period and when I had my labs checked my TT was mid-range, FT was top 70% of range and my SHBG actually raised to 23.... (the reason I inadvertently reduced my Test dose was because I was using 50/50 prop-cyp and I cut injections with additional gso but I mis-calculated and I was giving myself only 100mg/wk as opposed to the 200mg/wk I was normally taking)..... funny thing is noticed no drop off in strength despite half the amount of Test. I have also found that SHBG has direct relationship with Thyroid function/efficiency.... Low SHBG seemingly reduces Thyroid efficiency in the body.. In my case, this would make sense since my Thyroid panels have relatively remained the same since pre-trt to now with the only exception is a slight drop in FT4 which is at the very bottom of the ref range. I have complained of hypo symptoms since starting TRT despite a seemingly normal functioning Thyroid based on lab numbers. Im hoping that reducing my Test dose will raise my SHBG and help correct my seemingly sluggish Thyroid. [/QUOTE]
