Can high stress and cortisol levels increase SHBG? Is that why stress lowers testosterone?

So the first dose of clomid I ever took made me feel like crap but somehow it seemed like it helped resolve my ed issues. Anybody know why it could of done that. Btw I only took 12.5 mg of it one time but I felt so bad on it I decided to never take it again. I do have high shbg btw

My estrogen is a little low so I hope supplementing with it will raise my e2 into the 20’s without lowering my testosterone. My e2 is at 17 right now but I hope that dhea can fix my mild E.D. by increasing e2 a little

Anybody know what total testosterone level 152 mg of Test Cyp a week would put me at? Would it be above 1,000 ? And what would my low point be around as I am injecting twice a week.

How much will TRT suppress DHEA and Preg production? Will it shut that down completely or just suppress it?

Is that a higher TRT dose or regular one? Just wandering if that amount will shut me down completely or will my body still produce some naturally I’d ever decide to come off for any reason.

How do you calculate that?

How many mg is 200mg/ml of Test Cyp 0.38ml twice weekly? Sorry I never injected before and have no idea about the dosages. Does this protocol seem like it will work for a high shbg guy like me?

I had my consultation with defy yesterday and was prescribed Test Cyp- 200mg/ml, 0.38ml twice weekly and 350iu of HCG. Is that too much test and should I ask to go down to 150mg/ml twice a week given that I have naturally decent test but high shbg ?

I really hope when i have my consultation with Defy that the doctor will understand how high my SHBG is compared to my total testosterone and he does not go by what he sees for my free testosterone(direct) because i don't think that is accurate.

I agree, I hope it is an error because I definitely have low t symptoms. What injection frequency works for you on trt and what is you’re dosage? Whatever you’re doing would probably work for me since we have similar numbers ?

my free t blood score does not make any sense given my shbg. How is my free t that high when my shbg is high when there was a guy on here that posted labs with a higher total t than me with similar shbg but a lot lower free test barely in range? I’ve actually had free t scored at the very bottom...

Vince-unfortunately I tried everything to lower it and it does not work. I tried arimidex before and felt a little better but it crashed my e2 after a while because my e2 was never high it’s just that my shbg is binding up all my free t. I’m going to give TRT a shot.The doc said at my age if I...

all the typical symptoms of low testosterone. Weak erections, lower libido, less drive , hard time building muscle, losing fat around midsection and love handles, not able to get a pump in gym, tired quickly in gym, dick does not have much sensitivity, and no morning erections. Energy is ok but...

You don’t think my higher SHBG is choking my free t levels? If I plug my shbg and total t into the free testosterone % calculator it gives me a lot lower of a level than what my direct free testosterone has on my labs .

Have you noticed any testicular shrinkage yet?

I'm going to be starting TRT soon but I have a question about HCG. Is it needed right away? I am looking to preserve my fertility since I'm 26 years old while on TRT but I am not going to try have any kids any time soon. Is it possible I could start HCG when the times comes when I want to try to...

Total testosterone-657 (264-916) Free Testosterone (direct)-23.4 (9.3-26.5) LH-5.8 (1.7-8.6) FSH-3.6 (1.5-12.4) Estradiol sensative-17.2 (8.0-35.0) SHBG-53.5 (16-55.9) It looks like I'm neither primary or secondary and I just have high SHBG. In my next consult I am going to ask to go on TRT. My...

Is it still safe to take viagra the same day you take you’re preworkout if it has citrulline or any other nitric oxide booster in it?

Would it just be cheaper just going straight with defy using thier discounted prices for blood work or would be cheaper to see if you’re insurance covered it?

I was speaking with a doctor and he said testosterone has nothing to do with erectile function/ strength. He just said testosterone affects libido. Is he correct ? Would love to hear opinions.

I actually have noticed both positive and negative to be honest. It seems like the first several days I start taking DHEA I notice an effect like its increasing my testosterone (more energy both physically and mentally, stamina, libido, strength). The longer I take it though those positive...

I went to a urologist today and he said taking DHEA can cause one to shut down their HPTA just like testosterone can. Do you think he is right? I have heard from others that DHEA has no effect on the HPTA like testosterone does. I hope that is not the case because I have been taking DHEA for...

Anybody think a liver cleanse/detox supplement could possibly lower SHBG?

Are there any causes of high SHBG or is it just genetic? I heard it is rare for young guys to have high SHBG. I have high SHBG and I am only 26 and I have decent total testosterone levels usually anywhere from 600-800 but SHBG is always at top the top of reference range or a little higher. Can...

High SHBG can bind up all you're testosterone in the body making it useless thus causing low testosterone symptoms even if you have a decent total testosterone level. I think that is the case for me and its very frustrating because I don't want to start TRT at the age of 26 but I might have to...

Is rare for a younger guy to have high SHBG? My total testosterone is usually anywhere from 600-800 but my SHBG is always top of reference range or more . I’ve also tried everything possible to raise my free testosterone naturally but to no avail. Is testosterone therapy the only thing that fix...

Yesterday I took my first 12.5mg dose of clomid. After taking it seemed like I felt very fatigued and tired. Is this a common side effect of clomid in guys? Is Clomid good to take long term as well or is it only a temporary treatment?

Thanks Chris. When is the best time to take clomid? morning or night?

Hi All, I was prescribed Clomid from Defy doctor the other day to see if i can boost my free testosterone. Are there any side effects of taking clomid that I need to be aware of? If I ever want to come off will there be any consequences of lowered T levels? Also my total test is normal but high...
