I'll start off by linking my original thread here : Extremely high SHBG
Just got my results back after 4 weeks of being on TRT, attached my results.
My E2 and TT are way too high.
Total Testosterone : 69.5 nmol/L (2004 ng/dL)
Estradiol : 285 pmol/L (77 pg/mL)
I've been injecting 130mg Test E into thigh 1" 25g needle once every 6 days along with HCG 400iu 3x per week. I really havn't noticed much in terms of side effects other than not having as much energy as I did the first 2 weeks (maybe because of such high E?) I plan to do the water retention treadmill test later today.
I hope my doc's not gonna be pissed when I tell him I've been doing a higher dose than he originally recommended (100 mg/week). I thought it would be necessary since my SHBG has been so high (90 - 105 nmol/L) and Free T has been so low..
I feel like I really need to have my Free T and SHBG tested as well but the doctors nurse receptionist didn't seem to think that was as important. I have a follow up appointment this week and plan to ask to get those tested from now on.
Why is my Total T so high? Would the high SHBG be making me hold on to T for a much longer time?
Whats the best route to go from here? Should I cut doses down big time? Start injecting 2x weekly?
Thanks for your help
