1. I was unaware about drawing levels at trough but I'll know that going forward. This appt has been scheduled for months and I didn't want to adjust my dosing schedule for the appt. 2. I don't know about the liver enzymes because they have been normal for years until starting the TRT...

Here are my results: I'm 39 and been working out for for about 25 years now. Had some blood work last year after experiencing symptoms of low T. Started on 50 mg of test cypionate every Monday and Thursday. Here are my levels and how they have changed: Total test : 622 to 1181 Shgb :65 to...

I'm definitely not a bodybuilder and have never completed a bulk or cut phase. Just a weightlifter for about 25 years now. Pretty consistent diet about 1 gram per lb of protein, creatine, basic multivitamins.

I finally found a doctor that looked at my free test level instead of my total test level. I'll be 40 in a few months and have been feeling more and more fatigued lately so had blood work done a few months ago. Total T 622 SHGB 65 Free T % 1.3 % of total Free T 8.1 The doctor said my free T...

Hey sorry I haven't been around to post. I've been very hesitant to start the TRT knowing it will be a lifelong process. I've been trying to increase energy and libido through other methods even trying "energizing" antidepressants like wellbutrin and using Cialis but they haven't helped. I'm...

Will adding TRT automatically increase my total T level or is there a chance my total T stays similar if my SHBG is lowered ? The PCP is saying my total T will increase and I'll have to watch my hemoglobin and estrogen levels very close which I assumed would be the case with adding TRT.

Thanks for this information. I was planning on trying 100mg a week of cypionate and getting my blood tested again in 3 months. I know how I feel and I know I need something to kickstart my energy and libido again, but I also feel my numbers show a deficiency especially in free testosterone. I...

Thanks so much for this information. I guess I never realized that SHBG being elevated would elevate my total testosterone. A high enough dose to suppress my SHBG will in turn suppress my total T, at least the part made up by the SHBG, but should eventually be enough to get my free test level up...

Hey everyone I'm new here and wanted to share my blood work to get some opinions. I'm almost 40 and have been experiencing symptoms of low T for several years so I had bloodwork last week at my primary doctor. I feel very fatigued and have almost zero drive. I've worked out for almost 20...
