High Free T and low SHBG

[methos]

Hey guys, just got my bloodwork results from a blood draw over 3 weeks ago. I have not been feeling the best, but still better than when I started the protcol with chip. I am curiuos about some bloodwork numbers.

Over the course of 10 weeks my SHBG went from 46.4 down to 15.4.

My Hemoglobin, Hemacrit and MCV went from normal levels to High Levels.
Hemoglobin 17.2
Hematocrit 51.7
MCV 102

Estraadiol 52.3 (7.6-42.6)
Test 1308 ng/dL
Free T 49.4 (6.8 - 21.5)

OK I have been combatting minor gyno with Nolvadex 20mg ED. for the past week. I am curious if I need to raise my SHBG in effort to lower my Free T? I am assuming high Free T will aromitize and cause the gyno. Also losing hair faster than normal (it's gonna happen anyway with me). I am taking

210mg T E5D
250 Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Day after Pin
danazol 25mg ED
.5 Adex EOD
Nolvadex 20mg ED

I don't have Free T numbers from before the protocol.

Also, do I donate blood to lower the Hematocrit?

Just cursious if I want to raise SHBG?

Bro ur estro is 2 high u need 2 get it down between 20-30. Nolvadex is a serm it's not goin 2 do anything 4 gyno. Ur goin 2 have 2 up the a-dex or switch AI's. Letro or aromasin R other Aromatase inhibitor (AI) options.

I honestly feel like the Adex is not working for me. I do have letro on hand. Do you have a dosage suggestion? I will run it for a few weeks and get bloods again. Is it possible that my estro level could be the cause of still feeling a little crappy. Lethargic etc?

Absolutely, I don't get gyno with high Estrogen but I get lethargic as hell. I can't get my ass off the couch. I wouldn't mess with Letro, your Estrogen isn't that high and Letro can be harsh for some people.

Try 1mg Adex ED for a week and see how you feel.

Sounds good and will do. Thanks for helping out. The gyno sucks especially at 9% BF. I don't think it shows but I want to get dialed in quickly.

that SHBG number is great. you want it low. Looks like the Danazol is working.

 

[methos]

packgus, yah I agree. That change surprised me with the SHBG. Just curious if high Free T can cause issues now that it's off the chart while SHBG is low?

Because of your low shbg you will have alot of free E2 circulating in your body,because shbg not only binds with free test but with free E2,
so the solution to your problem is to get your E2 lower.A good rule of thumb is if your shbg is 15 then your e2 should be 15.If your shbg is 30 then your e2 should be 30.I myself have a very low shbg of 9.9 and have to keep my e2 around 10.

interesting.....
I did not know this.

Yes i read about it on another forum and decided to try it myself cause i wasnt feeling good,had all the symptoms of high e2 but my e2 was only 25 but i felt like crap,so i decided to lower e2 some more and it worked,better mood,good morning wood and no more getting emotional.Thats why its important to know your shbg levels,that way you can try to tune up your e2 to the desired level.

Well after raising my Adex to 1mg per day for the last week I feel invincible now. I felt great 2 days into raising my adex. In fact, I feel so good that I am getting bloodwork tomorrow morning to get a good snapshot of what I think my optimum levels are. I will keep you guys posted. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice about lowering E2!!!!! Life if GOOOOD!!!

Glad to hear it worked for you. My biggest struggle is keeping my Estrogen in check.
