shbg

So, long time since I blast a cruiser here; I'm pretty moderate in my use and never go above 600mg total in gear. 2023, I cruised on 150mg test/150mg mast all year. I got a divorce, and I decided to go cold turkey off everything in January. I noticed ED and libido after three weeks of being off...

Good evening from the UK, had my bloods done and it looks like my testosterone is normal but my SHBG/Albumin are through the roof and my Oestradiol/FSH are through the floor, any ideas why this is happening and how I can correct it? I'm 42, 5'10", 12st(76kg), keep in decent shape. My sleep is...

Gentlemen, there is a cure for Low SHBG FINALLY. And, It is tangible unlike the "keto diet and fasting". There is a newly approved drug that could easily more than double our SHBG and for many of us would mean a new life and TRT working. The drug is called Rezdiffra (Resmetirom) manufactured by...

Oral T vs Injectable T - Hair Loss I have read that oral T (Jatenzo/Kyzatrex) converts to DHT more than injectable T. Is this true? If so, would that mean that oral T would accelreate hair loss (for those predisposed) faster than injectable T? Or, would the constant higher T/DHT levels with...

I have read that higher bodyfat raises leptin and that higher leptin can lower SHBG. Does this mean that losing bodyfat can raise SHBG? I have cut down from 85 to 78kg but also found that I needed to up my daily dose slightly. I have noticed another observation that is really strange. After I...

My SHBG is high. I believe I ruled out all other causes of high SHBG- sensitive e2 is on the lower end of normal, increased my Vitamin D to well over 100, natural testosterone is 8-900, and DHT is normal. Last cause is thyroid. Comprehensive thyroid panel was good except for a very high reverse...

I never even heard of it until today. Plugging it into the search field, it mostly shows up in posts that just mention it in passing One poster said it plummeted his SHBG. Is it unpredictable and hard to dose?

Hi. I would appreciate any analysis of my blood tests. Background: - 34yo male (5ft9 & 132lbs /180cm & 60kg) - never been a vegetarian. I eat mostly animal food, no sugar, no gluten. Severe chronic illness since 2013: - extreme tissue fatigue/weakness - super-easily injured - unable to heal...

I have posted in the past about my severely low IGF-1 levels. Recently, I came across an interesting relationship in my own labs and out of interest, I found it backed up in medical literature. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or knows anything that relates to this? I have...

So here's the results before starting TRT in 2022. SHBG was pretty high, and the doctor said that my free T was low and I needed TRT. I was on 200mg a week for about 6 months and didn't feel much difference, so I stopped. My total T was around 1400 and everything else was the same. I just got...

I m just checking with the community to see if there is a new discovery with Low SHBG individuals ? Any new treatment ? Any new strategies to raise it ? It is a bad curse .

Hi, How come I have low shbg and low tests..I do long distance cycling, not overweight...healthy 40y man Free tests is 258 pmol/l [220-800] Shbg 18 nmol/l [18-54] S-testostrone 13.5 nmol/l [8-32] Is trt is the only way to go? Or do I have other options also?

Free T... My total test came back at 900 on a scale of 250-850. But my free came back low, 11, on a scale of 9-22. shbg is 45, Inj frequency is 2x a week. (80 mg total for week) What else should I be looking at as to why my free T is lower?? THX

Hi all, Wondering how much genetics plays a role in secondary sex characteristics vs total testosterone levels. I read a paper (attached) which shows that professional athletes have testosterone levels around 500-600ng/dl, which is around my levels but i have very poor secondary sex...

Just got my labs back, and I'm surprised. I was expecting my numbers to be off. I have been feeling just off, not seeing any progress in my body, and I lift 3–5 times a week. Struggling with weight loss, and I inject only once a week because injecting more than once has always made me fatigue...

I'm 29 years old and 190 lbs and have dealt with cystic acne on my back for the past 10 years. Its hormonal acne from when I took pro hormones a decade ago and never recovered. I tried everything, and nothing has successfully cleared me up. I finally decided to pull the trigger and start...

I know everyone is different, but I would like to hear what you have found best for inj frequency, My SHBG is mid range at 45, E2 runs a bit high at 60, HCT and HGB has been a problem for me, last blood work it was 57 and 19 so I did go donate, in the past I have had issues when i donated 3...

Curious if anyone has raised shbg using a SERM like raloxifene, a new blood test shown my shbg was even lower- 11! It’s likely my shbg was lowered via Proviron given to me by my endo (she is an idiot but that’s besides the point). I do have some raloxifene I’d like to use to raise my shbg to...

I need help. I am on TRT for two years. Since last year my experience was being extreme bad. Anxious and started to have ED. My SHGB is 7 now. Yes, 7. I need to raise it really fast. I am not diabetic nor have metabolic sindrome. I am very atletic and slim. It because of TRT and for some reason...

Hi all, I’ve recently decided to get some blood tests done to assess where my total and free testosterone levels are at as I’ve for a very long time been suffering with ED issues. I would say I also have a lack of energy and motivation to do anything. The first blood test I have my results...

Lichten says that 6-15 SHBG are levels that are good recommend winstrol 25mg daily to keep it supressed. says high shbg is inflammatory and will prevent T to work properly and higher doses of T injection in those men don't result in improvement.... somewhere mid-way if you too lazy to listen to...

I recently was able to view lab results from 2018 to present day. Every time I have had lab work done (hormone panel) my SHBG is always higher than it should be. The higher than normal value presented even before I tried self prescribed TRT. 2018 (prior to testosterone) - Testosterone 26.9...

I m in the process of restarting after TRT , but Clomid is a non-starter for me and Nolvadex also gave me libido issues . I want to choose Toremifene Citrate as the SERM post HCG but my doctor says it may not be available in pharmacies . Does anybody know if that is true ? Is there a pharmacy...

Greetings, I've been trying to sort this out on my own for a while, but I'm at my wits end. Really hoping someone can help me solve this dilemma. Over the past few months erectile function has gone from being able to get really hard with the help of 12.5-25mg viagra to completely dead dick...

This study confirms that D-chiro-inositol raises Testosterone significantly and lowers E2 and Estrone : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34078260/ Why is this not talked about anywhere ? Is there something wrong with the study ? Am I missing something ?

After putting in my Total T(633 ng/dL measured at trough), SHBG(39.10 nmol/L), and Albumin(4.73 gr/dL) numbers from blood tests into the Tru-T Free Test Calculator, are my Free T numbers normal?: 0.93 nMol/L or, 26.95 ng/dL. I am currently dosing daily of 5mg test. Cyp. mixed with 4mg. test...

hello, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, Could those guys who have successfully had children with low shbg please discuss their fertility protocols. HCG was a double edge knife, with a shbg of 7 Am considering enclo..

26m who has struggled on TRT for a long time. In summer 2021 was prescribed test cypionate which immediately causes complete loss of libido, which only returned about 6 weeks after cessation of treatment. Testosterone did not naturally recover (although libido did), and resumed treatment this...

Dear Excelmale members, Recently, I've been working with the help of a friend (actually he did most of the work) on an Android software that helps in the computation of free T (contains Vermeulen, Mazer, Södergård, ...) and that generates reports that link the values obtained to the current...

Testosterone Total - 1035 ng/dL (250-827) SHBG - 76 nmol/L (10-50) Free Testosterone = 13.2 ng/dl (9-29) Estradiol 26 (20-30) Everything else is normal. I've had all symptoms of low T for the last 4 years. I'm eating carbs and have tried everything to lower the SHBG and nothing...
