Thank you for the quick reply, Vince. Right now I need all the help I can get.
My SHBG indeed tends to be that low. In fact, the only time I've recorded my SHBG touching 30 is when I've been on clomid continuously for upto a year (out of the dozen or so times I've had SHBG tested, over the past many years).
To answer your other question, I live in small country in the middle east and I haven't been able to find an endo who doesn't automatically propose sustanon-250 straightaway - it's like a knee-jerk reaction. The endo I settled for at least listens to what I have to say (based on my research and conversations on forums like this) which is a step up.
I don't know if any other form of T is actually available where I live, but I will ask him about cypionate (planning to see him on Thursday).
The good thing is (1) I get to take the sustanon-250 ampules, so I could self-inject, and (2) sustanon 250 is fairly cheap, and (3) I believe I could get enough ampules so I could even inject a fraction of it and throw the rest (although I've read people split the dose).
But I need to know (if there's no alternative to sustanon-250) what is likely to be a good injection schedule for someone like me to try and how I could optimise it? And if I can get cypionate (or some other short half-life ester) what would be a good schedule to try?
Also, my estradiol is rising (probably because I burn through the T quickly?) Does it look like I'd need an AI?
The only other time I ever took testosterone (also sustanon-250, 3 times, once ever 3 weeks, prescribed by the first endo who took my lot-T complain seriously way back in 2012) my estradiol rose to over 60 pg/mL. Back then I didn't even know what SHBG was (and he never ordered labs for it).
Also how about proviron or something like that? As I said, I felt really good on a low dose of danazol (50 mg EOD) until it caused my SHBG to go way down; but lowering SHBG a known side effect (use?) of danazol. Are there alternatives I could ask for? (assuming available)
