Greetings,
41 YOA male. Very good health, highly active. Recent bloodwork showed the following:
Total T 631 ng/dl
Free T 69.1 pg/ml
SHBG 47 nmol/L
No major low T symptoms I guess. Nothing sexual, no major mood issues. Simply put, I don't recover anywhere like I used to and have...
Hello,
Long time reader of this forum. First time actually posting. I’ve been on TRT for 2 years due to steroidal induced hypogonadism. I’m 25. Total T was low 200’s and never came back.
After two years of TRT i’ve finally come to the conclusion and realization that I have low SHBG and thus...
Hi everyone, I'm 32 years old and have secondary hypogonadism (was diagnosed at 25 years old). I've been on clomid for around 7 years now that was prescribed by my urologist. My main question is whether testosterone injections are more effective than clomid for secondary sexual characteristics...

Hi all,
Please bear with me as I have a story to share and a number of questions. I'm 29 years old, about 6'1 215 20-22% BF, and been on TRT for over 7 years. I was diagnosed as primary with low testosterone (270 ng/dl), very high LH and FSH, small testicle volume (< kidney bean size), and...
Please advise. Just finished first round of Bio T pellets and about to switch to T gel (20%) next week to get a steady consistent dose. My dilemma is my high SHBG levels.
Total T: 646
SHBG: 77.4
Free T: 7.6
Two part question. Will lowering SHBG level increase Free T, and is there a...
I see discountlabs offer two different tests for Testosterone. A $29 version and $79 version. Historically, I have gotten my labs done at Quest. Wondering which of the two tests offered by discountlabs would give the most accurate reading.
My total T is 800 and free T is 150. This is at 7 days after last pin. I feel great, don't know my E2.
Is my free T to high as related to total T. I started getting some nipple sensitivity so added Adex .25mg
E3.5D
Been on TRT for 2 months now. My TT midrange now but my free testosterone is still off the charts (low) so I'm not benefitting at all.
Where do I go now!!!? 🙏🏻
