What is Considered Low SHBG?

This is 120 mg per week split in 2 doses. Blood drawn at trough.

Canā€™t get much better than that for therapy purposes.

It was perfect thatā€™s why Iā€™m running 120 mg for my docs bloodwork which is coming up in a couple weeks. Once I get that blood drawn Iā€™ll go back to 300 mg per week most likely.

We should form a club of sorts for horny old men. @phil65

Actually my latest tattoo is of a ā€œHorny Old Pigā€ to which I am proud to claim. My daughter drew it for me and I had it inked.

You have wild genetics. How the hell do you keep that high a Total Testosterone with same 120mg as I, with low SHBG? LOL

My TT is mid-range but, of course, my Free T is in upper end of normal due to low SHBG. At trough, in morning just before pin:

Testosterone Total 18.3 nmol/L (6.1-27.1)
Testosterone Free 565 pmol/L (110-660)

Iā€™m looking forward to what my numbers look like in a couple months on this new protocol.

My SHGB is 15.9

On 100mg per week (50mg E3.5D)
Total T 496 264-916
Free T 15.7 6.8-21.5

Dr Calkins bumped me up to 150mg per week injecting 50mg MWF. Itā€™s only the second week of that and itā€™s been pretty smooth so far, with the exception of some sporadic anxiety at night time (worrying about if my heart is gonna give out because I can feel my pulse in my head and neck etc.) but I can generally calm myself down. I kind of expected some of that with a protocol change. Hoping it just keeps getting better as the weeks roll on!

Where are you going to post the results of 150mg?

I had to beg and plead to get to 120mg from 100mg because I wasnā€™t 100% yet and I knew it was because my FT was just mid-level. Also, I went to daily pins once he gave me 120mg so as to maximize it. I always felt great when FT was HIGHER end. I want to get to 150mg after a few more visits of softening up my uroā€¦

Iā€™ll post them in my log. Bmbrady77ā€™s Lab Results. Iā€™m putting up mine and my wifeā€™s numbers there. She just started with Defy as well. Iā€™ll definitely keep it updated as soon as I get the next bloods drawn.

I would go to 3 shots a week if my SHGB was 12 or less. My SHGB runs 22-29 and I inject M/T.
I have tried 3 times a week and EOD and had no positive effect and just got sick of sticking myself all the time. After a few years you just donā€™t want to have to think about all this shit everyday.

If I still want a tattoo 7 years from now Iā€™m getting something like ā€œdark tranquilityā€ or ā€œwhile she sleepsā€ tattooed across my upper back (band namez). Iā€™d get mayhem tattooed because I like their music but due to the anti semitism many bands in the BM scene portray (and varg vikernes was in mayhem, heā€™s a psychopath and vicious anti Semite) I wonā€™t pay for anything related to their music (aside from a shirt I bought a or two month back)

Why 7 years? Any significance? I didnā€™t get my first one til I was 40
