So let’s take a trip back:
Nov 2022 I pull bloods
750mg/test e (already built up in blood from previous blast)
600mg/mast e (not yet built up in blood it’s only week 2 or 3)
HGH 5IUs everyday
Results:
Estradiol 134 (confirmed by ultra sensitive at 138 dec 2022)
Testosterone 1958 (awful conversion to total by my body)
Free testosterone: 683 (top of range is 153 for reference)
SHBG: 3
So it’s clear what was happening. SHBG was causing a massive build up free test (probably free DHT, and free estrogen as well). Low SHBG is good (in range) but too low SHBG and your testosterone is just floating around not binding to androgen receptors efficiently. Not to mention libido/ED/fatigue possibility.
Basically you got X amount of dump trucks (SHBG) and a crap ton of dirt to move = not enough movement of dirt
So what do I do? Well my libido and erection are shit. Viagra and Cialsis aren’t working well. I have enough free test as 5 men but I’m tired as shit all the time.
So I stop the cycle go to TRT dosage 250mg/week
Here’s where things get interesting.
I get aromasin and do aromasin every other day 25 mg for 10 days. Ultra sensitive still comes back at 138. I’m puzzled, how can this be I thought? Aromasin is so powerful.
So I take drastic measures 25 MG EVERYDAY for 7 days followed by 12.5MG EVERYDAY for 10 days after. This is enough aromasin to crash any normal’s bb estrogen very quickly.
I pull estrogen ultrasens in Jan 2023….result 21! Due to lack of SHBG I literally need a SHIT TON of AI to control my estrogen because all that test is just spawning into free test and free DHT and free estrogen.
I just pulled my test levels last week and this the result: (again reminder test 250mg/week every 3 days HCG 500iu e3d started couple weeks before and aromasin at 12.5 EOD and HGH at 5IUs/day)
SHBG: 6 (higher than Nov 2022 but still abysmal)
Total testosterone: 1030
Free test: 392
Estradiol (not sensitive): 49
LH: non existent
FSH: non existent
So I’m trying to get my SHBG up from 6ish to 15-20ish. I believe such a low SHBG is causing my libido/erection/fatigue issues. Not to mention very low SHBG is tied to insulin issues and potentially type 2 diabetes (my blood sugar is ticking higher was 93 in Oct 2022 now I am 99 in Jan 2023 basically almost pre diabetes)
The question is there is no easy way to raise SHBG since it’s made in the liver and directly tied to thyroid.
I’m thinking I pull my T4/T3/TSH and free levels to determine if thyroid hormones are shot and causing abnormally low SHBG. While exogenous test will lower SHBG, it shouldn’t completely crush it. And since I’m not running any SHBG crushing compound (masteron, Anavar, etc) there should have been a recovery if this was steroids based. I think it’s more than that.
Thoughts and what I should do?
Thanks gents
