What is Considered Low SHBG?

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

Can’t get much better than that for therapy purposes.

It was perfect that’s why I’m running 120 mg for my docs bloodwork which is coming up in a couple weeks. Once I get that blood drawn I’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)

I’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. It’s only the second week of that and it’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 wasn’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 uro…

I’ll post them in my log. Bmbrady77’s Lab Results. I’m putting up mine and my wife’s numbers there. She just started with Defy as well. I’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 don’t want to have to think about all this shit everyday.

If I still want a tattoo 7 years from now I’m getting something like ā€œdark tranquilityā€ or ā€œwhile she sleepsā€ tattooed across my upper back (band namez). I’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, he’s a psychopath and vicious anti Semite) I won’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 didn’t get my first one til I was 40
