TRT Candidate? Low Free T, High Total T, High SHBG

[AnacottSteel]

I am 37 years old and have all the symptoms of low T. Extreme fatigue, depression, low libido, no strength, brain fog, no morning erections. Minor gynecomastia confirmed by ultrasound.

I have high Total T, but low free T and High SHBG. Is it better to try to overpower the SHBG with Test or lower the SHBG?

Am I a candidate for TRT?

Total T: 951 ng/dL High. (264-916)
SHBG: 80.1 nmol/L High. (16.5-55.9)
Free T: 7.7 pg/mL Low. (8.7-25.1)

Estradiol: 18 pg/mL (8-35)
DHEA: 231 ng/dL (31-701)
LH: 3.2 mIU/mL (1.5-9)
Prolactin: 7.5 ng/mL (4.0-15.2)

5ft 6 145lbs
I eat healthy and exercise, I walk 2-3 miles every day and lift weights 3 x a week. No Alcohol.

I did 3 brief cycles of AAS with pct in my early 20s but haven’t touched them in 15 years.

Please let me know your thoughts. I have a consultation with two trt doctors this week to see what they suggest but would kike to have the community's knowledge on hand.

Thanks!

it is better to lower the SHBG man

all you need to do is run n2generate, it has natural herbals that bind to shbg

the next option after that is proviron

You have high total testosterone so thats already good but seems your free testosterone is not releasing

there are a few options

you can try to free up the testosterone

you need to lower shbg before you do any TRT IMO

that can be done with proviron

start with 50mgs proviron ED for 4 weeks and 75mgs for 1 week then do blood work to retest these numbers

once your shbg is lowered you should see it in the results, and if proviron wont work then you can go on TRT

meanwhile, can you log your training and diet on ef? post a new thread with your training diet log so we can see what you're doing while you tell us your proviron or TRT situation

[JasonPriest]

i would follow the above advice, don't do TRT yet you don't need it

[BodyMonster34]

bro yo a real man, nice T levels

[ceo]

bros sounds like you need proviron and retest

post a log asap

[ROIDDERS]

use proviron and test again

meanwhile log on EF

[Quadsweep]

I would say proviron is the 1st thing I would use

log this proviron and your training/diet easier for us to judge

[Ulter]

+50mgs proviron ed

+post a LOG asap

proviron = winner here
LOG = required
