My SHBG is certainly absurdly high, over 150 (normal range is like 20-60). I wonder if this is common with people taking fin or dut since their DHT is so low?
I've seen a few people on PH have good luck with it. I haven't had the discipline to try it honestly, so I'm interested in hearing about results here
I believe @Helen said it was related to NADPH or something. I can't remember exactly.
How the hell you're doing 4x a night doesn't even make sense to me, lol. I've never done more than twice. Maybe I need some extra testosterone added in, haha.
Glad to hear you're doing better though!
There's a comparable product you can use instead. I know they mentioned it on swole source but I can't remember the exact product name. Look over there if you're interested in buying basically the same thing in a gel form I believe
Yup. Low carb diet seems to be most commonly helpful thing to PFS suffers everywhere
I wish we knew why.. I've read it increases free test, lowers free test, screws with estrogen... you can find a study that pretty much says low carb diets do anything if you look hard enough. So, I'm not sure...
Well, shit. I apparently didn't add DHT to the list of tests. I got a bunch of other stuff though.
The highlights are:
Estradiol is 13.1 [8 to 35]
Total test 862 [264 to 916]
Free test 6.3. [8.7 to 25.1]
Shbg 151. Super High. [16 to 56]
TSH 2.64. “Normal” but higher than I’d like [0.45 to...
Might as well I guess, lol
What’s more shocking to me is I don’t think I have any already. My stock of vitamins and god knows what else has gotten pretty ridiculous over the last year or so.
Every test I’ve had before now has shown normal or normal high total test but super low free test. Like, half the minimum “normal”, which is already low by most standards. I guess high SHBG. I’ll know more soon
Did blood tests yesterday so I will know soon. I’m not sure. Last time I had it checked it was middle but that was 2-3 weeks after stopping HCG so I felt like crap and don’t think I was back to whatever “normal” is for me. I should know more in a few days.
