Thanks, I'll look into it and will likely try it at some point.

I used to overtrain years ago, but I figured out it was too much and have since reduce the intensity and amount of exercising, which did improve my well-being. Well now I'm also a bit older and have other things to do in life, so exercise isn't as big of a hobby as it used to be. Also when I...

Thank you, I will update as I try things and see if anything changes. I didn't want to write too much in the original post, but prior to TRT I had, for several years, the perfect lifestyle and was doing quite good in life. I also had my entire body and organs checked for any causes for low T...

In the 3 tests pre-TRT my SHBG levels were between 25-30. When I was on Test E either 1x/week or 2x/week, my SHBG was moving between 20-30, however in most tests it was usually between 20-25. It seems also like moving to 1x/week injection schedule from 2x/week didn't really increase it, instead...

I think we have a really bad understanding of SHBG. The mentality for a long time is/was that a low SHBG is good, as it frees up hormones to be used, but who knows if that's good or bad. Maybe it's just one part of the balance. It does seem like people with lower levels of SHBG, like below 25...

I tested DHEA and Pregnenolone when I was on 600 IU/week of HCG and both of them were roughly 80% of the reference range, so I don't think these two could be the cause of my issues. I have since stopped taking HCG due to some traveling and now I'm off it to verify a few things better as I did...

Honestly that seems similar to me, when I was a natural my total T was roughly 340, yet my DHT was 290, so the ratio seems a lot better. Not sure why it's worse on TRT. Thanks, I'll get the cream, I'll see when it arrives, won't be soon in any case, and until then I'll try a lower T dose.

Thank you for your comment and explanations. Yes I've been reading lately that having a sky high FT might cause some issues, which is why I was moving towards testing lower doses, as some report libido only works at like 70-80 mg/week for them. I wanted to see if I'm one of those people and...

Yes, I think SHBG also potentially plays a role in my problems, I think you often see men with lower SHBGs having a harder time dialing in. Potentially Masteron and Proviron fucked with my SHBG, which caused issues, rather than E2. I'm currently off HCG, since I was travelling for a couple of...

So would you say that my DHT being 50-60% of total T looks off, especially considering my low SHBG? Did you notice a similar thing in your blood tests? Also if you have the 20% DHT cream how much do you actually use it for a good DHT bump? Of course I'll try a good dose first, but then I might...

The problem is that I'm from the EU and on self-administered TRT, as here only Nebido and gel are available officially. So no cream for me and no UGL makes T or DHT cream, so my options are very limited. I will likely try to get the DHT cream from AlphaGels that have been mentioned in another...

I've been on TRT for roughly 3.5 years now, with very limited results. I started and kept using Test E most of this time. In the honeymoon phase I had great symptom relief, however after 3 months almost all of those symptoms returned, I only felt better emotionally and mentally. Honestly I was...

Hello everyone, first time poster, but I've been lurking for a while, gathering as much information as I can. I've been looking into hormones and TRT for roughly a year and a half now, and with all the results I have, it's time to move forward. I'm looking for a second opinion about my blood...
