I have low SHBG
why does this
Matter
Isn’t lower better? More free T
No. Too high is a problem, but so is low. SHBG acts as warehouse for androgens, it’s your buffer. A low SHBG could mean that you are more sensitive to fluctuations, it SHOULD indicate really high androgen levels. If you have low SHBG and low androgen levels, you have a problem. Relatively higher SHBG is a know biomarker for longevity and overall better health, FWIW.
I have now SHBG and super
Low t
That’s one reason I’m here
So ??
TRT?
Super high?
I’m
Sticking w 100 mg and see doc next week
She may say to go up
Higher I don’t know
Would like
To wait 8 weeks at something steady tho
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL AT LEAST 8 WEEKS. Then see where you’re at. The protocol ADD is killing you.

I know
I’m dying to change things to see a quick change
But am not
Practitioner may want to use clomid w TRT?
Thoughts
Possible to re start things ?
I doubt it but would give natural production of hormones a shot
I know you will all say wait
Just asking if anyone has done clomid with TRT
I’ve been looking for cases here where guys had ED after test and aside from dosing… I’ve found 2 now that fixed the ED by increasing the frequency of the same total weekly dose. One guy went to EOD and another went to every day. Maybe something to discuss with the doc.
Guys how long for TRT to improve random erections abs libido
I know the study says 3 weeks libido and 6 months erextions
Can anyone confirm this?
When I started the first two weeks I noticed improved skin and oil now w injections less of that
Not sure why that would be one way or the other
Also does the application of T matter
Ie is cream better for sexual issues than injections or is gel better for this or that
Any studies looking at that or is it just the numbers?
Wait a bit longer talk to the doc. I’ve read here that low shbg guys seem to respond better to more frequent dosing. Maybe a bit more test and every other day injection could work? Might be easier trying that first before thinking of switching to cream. Forget about gel. Talk it over with the doc at the appt.
You crashed after finasteride?
Shrunken penis
Ed
No libido
Sounds like
Your improved
Kinda feel like I shoulda started on hcg or clomid first
Damn
LH and FSH are zero
How about If they don’t come back if we need to stop?
Then again, they weren’t pumping out much of anything anyways
Hmm
Yeah man, I crashed. It’s been a lost decade. If anything, it’s taught me patience.
I’m second guessing where to go from testogel. It’s what everybody does until they dial in or whatever. I’ve read a few times here about guy’s on the verge of ditching their protocol just as it started to work and they count themselves lucky they left it alone a bit longer.
I think the doc should have some good advice. Seems there’s room to go up. The lowish shbg might point her where to go. I would ask her if she thinks increasing frequency of injections might help. We’re gonna get it eventually.

Your t levels are quite good aren’t they already tho?
Question
Will Scrotum be tight and balls tight on TRT
Is this a concern?
Anything to treat?
My t went up but I don’t know my free t result yet.
The balls… I use to have them tight, probably in the last year still and they went down on their own. I was concerned about balls when I started testogel 3 months ago but now I don’t care.
I haven’t had much sensation at all and orgasms are weak. I’d trade balls for a good orgasm or sensitivity in my penis. I have a lot of to figure out too.
Do you take hcg also?
Or just testosterone
Testogel. I don’t know which route I’m going when I get my consult… I’m like you, I think of the millions of options. I don’t know if she’ll recommend hcg, inj, cream, who knows.
Your libido and Ed?
My erections were pretty good for about a month. Like night and morning came back for the first time in ages. Now, it’s kinda the same but different as before testogel.
I felt really good mentally for a stretch too. Like as if my decade of brain fog, not wanting to be around people, etc. lifted. Now, I’m still better mood wise a little. So that and my skin slightly improving, my dry eyes a bit also… I’m staying on T. I hope to eventually get the ED, orgasms, great mood back when I find the right protocol.
Again, it’s been a lost decade for me. I’d love a quick fix, but, I can wait a little longer for one.
