[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 122409"] SHBG is one of those things that "it is what it is". Low SHBG is more difficult but surely not impossible. We have many low SHBG individuals on the forum. A big part of what makes it difficult is many doctors are unsure of how to treat it and therefore the patent starts off with a bad protocol that doesn't work and the doctors sometimes don;t know what or how to address it. The only real way for low SHBG individuals to have success on TRT is with small daily injections. Daily injections take a commitment to do them every day. Some people just won't do that. When having low SHBG your body can not handle extremely high levels of testosterone. Going for high numbers is not in the cards because with low SHBG you body will not bind to a great deal of testosterone. So,you end up with very high Free T, which sound good, but your body can only handle so much Free T because there are only so many receptors for it to bind to. So your body breaks it down into its metabolites and you pass it out of your body in your urine. With high Free T also comes high Free E2 which can wreck havoc on a male. So you must understand that you can't let the ego get in the way and just want high testosterone numbers. Low SHBG normally do very well with Total T in the 700 range and Free T around 20 to 24 tops. If you try and chase high t numbers it will set you back. If you understand this up front and what type of commitment is needed to inject daily, you can have great success with TRT. [/QUOTE]
