Hi How old are you and whats your testosterone levels ?
Im 40 and my t levels range between 5 an 8. But my shbg monster eats all of it and I have plenty hypogonadism symptoms.
Ok do you know what your free T levels are ?
Im imagine very low due to the shbg
I dont take in account my free t levels as the labs here in spain uses a mediocre measurement technique. I use the tt / shbg ratio. It is called the free androgen index. It is not great, but it is a good reference. The lowest index value is 30. I am ranging between 29 and 33
Ok probably they done mine the same way, I didnāt know that,
Can you tell me were I can calculate mine from the shbg and total T,
My total T is 700 but my shbg is 65
Sure, but I hace to check the formula at my excel sheet. I will post it as soon as im back home
Ok thanks mate
Hi,
Free Androgen Index = TotalTestosterone(ng/mL ) * 3,467 / SHBG(nmol/L) *100
So in your case, it would be 37. Values considered ānormalā are between 30 - 150.
Im currently at 33 and would like to reach 60 at least.
Feel free to send me an email in my desc.
Hope it helps!
Better calculate free t from total t, shbg and albumin
I agree. If you have albumin number, that calculation will be much accurate.
Ok I have the albumin numbers at home If I post them can you calculate my level pls
Thanks I didnāt understand this calculation to well,
Good advice on starting dose, follow this. I think inject once weekly in the beginning, based on your SHBG. 9/10 patients worldwide are getting TRT from their GPs, T mills or self medicating, The vast majority of them take 150-200mg weekly as a single injection and are very happy customers. You wonāt see their posts here.
You can very easily do that by yourself:
Thanks
1.29 percent is my free T
And bio available 34 percent 241ng/dL
Send me $50 cash money
You deserve nothing less than a million cash dollars.

Had my first injection of test to start my trt and feeling better already,
I will probably be adding 50mg Primo per week to my trt to really keep shbg at bay,
And to get a extra anabolic affect with out causing harm,
I wouldnāt add anything in the next 8 weeks. How you feel during those first 8 weeks likely wonāt be how you feel after and you donāt want to complicate things and not know whatās causing an issue.
The primo will be part of my TRT long term,
If It works the way we have thought
Iāve consulted with a specialist who does this type of TRT for him self for 35 years, and for his patients, Depending on there hormone profile he will assess what he will give them,
He uses Winstrol to keep the binding protein exactly were he wants it and has done for 35 years with no harm to health, we are talking about very low doses though like 20mg winstrol per week,
Iām going to try it with the primo as I have a lot of it,
And primo is more healthy in my opinion,
It probably wonāt be as strong as winstrol to bind to the shbg, from the research I found,
but It definitely does bring down shbg to some extent, Iāll also get a extra anabolic affect with out added estrogen as Primo is not estrogenic
