Ideas to raise SHBG

So I have updated blood work and the results are rather surprising.

I lowered my test to 25mg EOD (87.5mg / week) and added HCG at 500iu EOD.

My SHBG is even lower, my test is up and my free test is significantly increased. Almost halved my test and added HCG - It’s raised my E2 significantly.

I have had zero improvement in libido, I find it even more difficult to ejaculate and I am way more short tempered than I usually am. Is my E2 now too high?

It’s been a month since I implemented the changes.

SHBG - 8 (18.3 - 54.1) nmol/L

OESTRADIOL 164 (41 - 159 R) pmol/L

TESTOSTERONE 28.8 (8.64 - 29 R) nmol/L

FREE TESTOSTERONE -1.04 (0.2 - 0.62 R) nmol/L

FREE ANDROGEN INDEX 325 (24 - 104 R)

PROLACTIN 257 (86 - 324) mU/L

I think you’re way overdosed on the hCG. I would lower it to 500 IU twice weekly.

Be aware one month isn’t enough time to reach a steady state on Test injections.

Thanks, I definitely think I’ll lower it. I feel like shit mentally right now. Super short tempered, which is very unusual for me.

I am most surprised at the massive increase in androgens from the increase in HCG. It’s not been anywhere near that high when I was running double the test.

When I lowered my dose in December I didn’t feel well for almost 8 weeks, but it gradually got better. 1 month isn’t going to tell you much in my opinion.
