Re: Re: SHBG testosterone/T3 questions

[Guest guest]

OK .5 of 200mgs/ml is a shot of Test C at 100mgs this is good for once a week.

Now .7 is 140 mgs this is not bad for once a week but most men today do shots

this big 2x's a week to keep more leveled and to hold down Estradiol levels.

This will even help keep your blood thinner some men there blood gets to thick

on TRT and need to give blood. You would be better off doing your own shots.

I use a small needle 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg needle and shoot into my thigh. The oil

comes out of the vial slow so I just pull the plunge all the way down and hold

it until I get my dose. Ask your Dr. to show you how to do this.

If you get your labs from Quest labs doing these tests your SHBG is part of the

test.

Estradiol sensitive Code #4021

Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable & Total LC/MS/MS Code # 14966X.

The lower your SHBG the lower you need to keep your Estradiol levels.

No on a CBC test men on Testosterone meds need to keep getting this tested to be

sure Hemgolobin and Hematocrit don't get to high. I am Hypopituitary my

Pituitary dose not tell my body to make hormones so I am on every dam hormone

the body needs. Due to my Thyroid my Ferritin levels were even low. I am on

Iron pills been on them a few yrs now but this does not make my blood thicker

one can have a stroke with there blood to thick.
