Did you have tt ft amd e2 tested w the shbg?
No I just had those tested a few weeks ago and my protocol hasnāt changed.
I was trying to remember. What was it B4 and why did you just check that?
@charlie12 This is the first time having it checked just trying to make sure my protocol doesnāt need to change. Other members were commenting that it would be a useful number to see if I need to move my shots closer together. It was really bothering @phil65 that I hadnāt had it checked LOL

@NH_Watts - I guess Iām clairvoyantā¦ Haha
You are pinning every 3.5 days right? 26 seems like an average number where youād want your SHBG, right? When I was e3.5 days, my SHBG was 16. I moved to EOD and at last blood it was 31.
If you feel good, be need to change, right?
Iām glad for @phil65 that you got it checked.

I have to say, Iāve been on my āprescribedā protocol for a few weeks now so my bloods will look āokayā for my October doctor appointmentā¦ I definitely donāt feel as good as when I go higher and was varying does as @physioLojik had suggested in other posts.
Everything feels and works better at a higher dose. He wrote my script as āinject .6 - 1ml twice a weekā, so I guess I technically have room to experimentā¦ But the last appointment he told me to stay at 120mg a week.
Iām wondering if I should tell him Iāve tried higher dosing and feel better at 140mg or higher and hope he agrees to let me stay there? Or just play this āprescribed doseā game 6 weeks before appointment to appease himā¦
Glad to hear you are feeling good on your protocol!
LMAO NH_WATTS! And the rest of you are hilarious too, you know who you are. LOL
Thanks @NH_Watts, I can rest nowā¦

WOW! Mine was around 31 when I started, then went down to 15 so started pinning every 3.5 days. Iām now doing 17mg every day so Iām hoping it goes up again like yours did. Niiice!

My doc only tests TT, hematocrit and SHBG. Jokes aside, Iāll post here once I have those numbers. I will have been on at least 34mg EOD for 6+ months since last bloods.
After that, Iāll order bloods to get a few other numbers like @NH_Watts has done.
Then Iām going to increase dose like I was before 40-50mg EOD) and am seriously considering a 300mg a week blast after Iāve accumulated enough (likey after first of year).

@anon10035199 & @physioLojik how are you taking in your lemon water? Iād like to introduce it into my daily protocol.
Currently I donāt take ANYTHING that messes with e2. (I hope) I keep crashing it.
But I was just doing half a lemon in warm water, I was doing it before bed.

like squeezed in?
Yea, half a lemons worth of juice. I was also bruising the peel and putting it in because thatās where the limonene is concentrated.

Is a bottle of water at room temperature considered warm? Nothing from a tap or fridge.
Also, half a lemon crashed your E or am I interpreting it wrong?
You know how people drink the organic apple cider vinegar?
Well lemon juice is known to benefit things I.e liver. As long as itās not cool you will still benefit imo

I always just microwaved some bottled water for 20 seconds
Never used tap, trying to detox, not add poisons.
No, one single dose of lemon water didnāt crash my e2.
