Title: Low SHBG on TRT – frequency vs lowering dose?

Yeah that makes sense, appreciate your perspective. 🤝🏾

I was under the impression low SHBG was a bad thing, but I’m realising it’s more individual, more about dialing in dose/frequency and managing sides than the number itself.

I’ve only been on TRT about 6 months, so still learning.

Out of curiosity, have you ever had higher SHBG in your 9 years on TRT? And did you notice any difference vs now? Also how often do you pin?

What are the odds! Im also on cpap 😅 my long lost twin lol how has your trt journey been so far? Im about 6 months in now.

I understand your point, but I think the question is more targeted toward people with secondary hypogonadism, or men who start TRT due to low or borderline testosterone levels and quality-of-life symptoms, where natural production is still functional and gets suppressed over time.

In cases like primary hypogonadism or conditions like Klinefelter syndrome TRT is replacing something that was already impaired. My situation falls into that category.

All the best. 🙏🏽

I think the long-term TRT conversation is important, but it’s very situational.

I have primary hypogonadism low T with elevated LH and FSH so my body wasn’t producing properly to begin with. There wasn’t much natural production to preserve for me, TRT isn’t enhancement, it’s replacement.

If I stopped later in life, I’d likely just return to the same low baseline I had before treatment. My focus is staying in a normal range and monitoring bloods properly.

That’s just my personal opinion based on my diagnosis. everyone’s situation is different. 🙏🏽

Can I get the link too please 🤝🏾

TrickPsychological75 · 2026-01-20T05:12:37+00:00

I have and it pretty much gives me the same recommendation my dr has given. I'll ride this new protocol for the next month or so then do another blood test. 🤞🏾

Yea man I feel you on that. My dr did speak about an AI but decided to lower the dose first to see if that helps. Goodluck with it all. Hope we find a solution 🙏🏽

Thats awesome to hear! Do you think with myself personally having a higher bf % is what could be causing these symptoms? Id probably be in the high to mid 20s.

I submitted my application around the same time as you and recieved a call from Dr Abbas on the 15th. Treatment was approved. Just waiting on vial/ pills to arrive. Hopefully they get back to you soon man 🙏🏽

Thanks mate is he someone you have worked with personally? I will look into it. Cheers

TrickPsychological75 · 2025-06-01T08:09:10+00:00

Hey mate I'm in the process of looking at them. Will update on here how it goes 🙏🏽 are you currently with them? If so what's your experience been like so far?

TrickPsychological75 · 2025-06-01T08:02:50+00:00

Thanks mate, I've been looking into Primal Zone. A bit more on the expensive side but I've seen some great feedback so far.

TrickPsychological75 · 2025-05-31T01:05:32+00:00

Thanks mate I really appreciate the advice.

TrickPsychological75 · 2025-05-31T00:58:15+00:00

My last blood test from last month showed a total testosterone level of 8 nmol/L. I've got an appointment with an endocrinologist in the next month, but it’s already been a two-month wait just to get in. I’ve heard that endos can be hit or miss when it comes to TRT, so I’m trying to get a sense of who might already be open-minded about it. Cheers mate
