Thanks for looking at my post!
45 years old male here - I've had bloods done over the last few months - both privately and a follow up with my GP (UK) as I've been feeling symptomatic in terms of low libido etc.
Private 9am Bloods Jan 2018 (9am Standard Blood Draw):
D.H.E.A. S 4.36 umol/L (0.44 - 13.40)
FSH 8.82 IU/L (1.50 - 12.40)
LH *9.2 IU/L (1.70 - 8.60)
TOTAL TESTOSTERONE 28.9 nmol/L (7.60 - 31.40)
SHBG *60.7 nmol/L (16.00 - 55.00)
NHS GP Follow Up: Feb 2018 (9am Standard Blood Draw):
FSH *9.2 IU/L (1.0 - 9.0)
LH 8.3 IU/L (1.0 - 9.0)
TOTAL TESTOSTERONE 23.0 nmol/L (8.0 - 30.0)
SHBG 56.0 nmol/L (13.0 - 71.0)!!!
GH 0.1 ug/l (<3 ug/l)
I see my GP on Wednesday, but the range they use for SHBG is ridiculous, so 56 was reported by the lab as "normal" (yeah, normal for a pensioner).
There's also the GH result, exact same low value as it was 2.5 years ago (which could be normal 'basal' - I've posted a separate thread about this).
I've got I3C, Calcium D-Glucarate and Trimethylglycine as an estrogen flush stack, plus Boron and after a few months of running that lot, I plan to get Estradiol, Free T and prolactin checked privately. Sound sensible?
Where do I go from here in terms of SHBG?
