Hey narcissusford, just dropping in to say that your situation is/was very similar to mine except that my SHBG is high but not quite as high, and I have v low FSH akin to your v low LH. My free test is below the bottom of the range, also: Feeling Resigned. Normal TT, Very Low Free T and FSH (2 Years Later) - #4 by systemlord
I appreciate all the inputs from you and the others in this thread. I’m at a cross-roads as it sounds like you were, so it’s interesting to read your experiences. Like you, I’m wary of committing to something like this for life
Recently I’ve been wondering whether there were ways to lower SHBG or albumin (which I gather also impacts free T), but the suggestions made by systemlord and others suggest this is unlikely. Which is a shame, because my total T levels are fine so TRT in some way feels like overkill for my situation… if it’s the only option, though, it’ll be worth it to be rid of my fatigue/fog/dizziness/libido issues
Anyway, just a note to say thanks for the contributions. Please update this thread with any notable discoveries along your TRT journey
