With a higher SHBG, there is less free estrogen to wreak havoc.
Generally guys with higher SHBG have LESS e2 issues, because most of it is bound.
I would advise the OP against messing with his E2, especially with a higher SHBG. Avoid at all costs.
Needing a higher Test dose doesn’t mean that its all available. It just means he needs more so he can spill over the top, so to speak.
Sorry, I thought this was pretty funny.
That was meant to be sort of a rib to @systemlord lol. All in good fun of course. I have a subtle but direct (does that even make sense) sense of humor.
Thanks for explaining that. I admit that I am still very new in my learning and appreciate the correction. It helps to make sure my understanding is more tuned in. I apologize to the OP if my ignorance is in any way misleading.
In the future, instead of just telling someone that they’re a mess, give them direction! (of course, its always better if you have experience with said issue)
Fair enough. Lashes taken.
Ive had most of those tested at various points except prolactin and dht. All appears ok. It’s not like I have access to a doctor who knows what he’s doing, even the private one I tried turned out to be a quack. So to some extent I am relying on guess work because that’s better than what the NHS offer.
Well update in case t helps anyone in the future. Currently 12 days into test prop 50mg eod along with hcg. Still not a single morning erection (these came quickly when I did a 400mg test e cycle last year) maybe slightly increased sex drive and muscle fullness. No change to energy, still wake up dog tired and stay that way all day. Only thing I have noticed is a slightly more motivated feeling. Slightly concerned at the lack of effects as prop should be helping with my symptoms by now surely?
Is there a reason your doing EOD with high SHBG?
I wanted to use prop to minimise time shut down in case this doesn’t work. So if I don’t start feeling well after 4-6 weeks, then testosterone isn’t my problem and I can get back off it ASAP. But I have read longer esters and less frequent jabs are better for high SHBG.
You can get away with once a week, or twice. No need for multiple, But your using a short acting ester, so that makes sense.
Some guys don’t get symptom relief for months. .
UBlood results from 180mg/week
How is this even possible? Underground gear trusted brand, injecting subq in glutes. 0.5ml evey other day and it’s test prop. That’s 7 times my target level. Been feeling super emotional I’m guessing due to estrogen. According to this I need to drop my dosage to 0.7mg eod in order to be at trt levels.
