Your story is similar to mine.
Hard gainer, TSH @2
CYP barely works for me, higher doses make me feel worse
even with e2 in check.
All the above typify low SHBG.
You can google “low shbg and trt,” and it’ll bring up a lot of threads about the subject.
See if any of it rings true for you.
Here is a thread on T-Nation where the subject is being discussed too.

Thanks for the link. I have been researching all this now for nearly 4 hours, what a mess. I suspect I had low SHBG. The last time I had that tested was the first couple weeks I was on CLomid; I had Total T at that time of 306ng/dL with a relatively higher Free T of 9.6ng/dL.
Did you have brain fog, depressive mood, low energy, etc while you were on T-cyp 100mg/wk?
Did you yourself find any answers as to why a higher free T would cause a WORSENING of symptoms with E2 kept in check?
Thanks again,
