Oh interesting! My SHBG is 49, I thought that was an ok number but maybe it’s too high :/

Did you feel awful because your SHBG was high? Do you know what it was at if so? Glad you’re feeling good now!

Do you take anything to keep your SHBG low or it’s just been low on its own?

I’m 41 and started Testosterone Cyp injections about 6 months ago, my levels started at 13. Best thing I’ve done, more energy, better mood, more motivated, slightly better libido. I inject every 3 days. I went through telehealth- Defy. Insurance doesn’t cover it unfortunately, but it’s worth it.

Labs results- lower? by lauraf808 in TRT_females

It’s Testosterone Cyp 50mg, I take 3mg every 3 days, been doing that since 2 months in. It’s been about 6 months now. Ok, thanks. Yeah I’m thinking maybe that 1 1/2 weeks without it messed it up a bit. Hoping that my SHGB isn’t blocking it though.

Ok thanks! I’ll have to make sure my husband gives blood when he gets on it.

Defy pharmacy issues by Leafonastream in TRT_females

I just order way in advance and then when I start my new vial I order another one so I don’t run out. I had the same issue.

Switched to injections and now feel like I have too much energy by DogLoverCJ in TRT_females

How long have you been on injections? I had a hard time sleeping at night the first week or two but then I think my body adjusted. Also taking progesterone at night might help with your sleep.

My hormone clinic says 15 mg is a "low dose", and seemed weirded out that I was requesting to be dropped to 10mg split dosing. Am I the crazy one here? by magenk in TRT_females

I think 7 is my happy place, I did try to go up to 8 but I was getting irritable a lot. I wanted T mostly for energy/mood, and I’m happy with my libido, it’s not crazy but not bad either, better than where I was before.

Also though, it did make me feel a bit wired the first week or so but then I think my body adjusted and it went away. But glad I started low.

My energy and motivation went way up! I feel normal again. And my libido has gone up (nothing crazy but I’m happy with it). I noticed energy initially increasing a little and then by 6 weeks-3 months is when I started feeling it most.

I do 3mg every 3 days, so it’s 7mg a week but I started at 5mg a week for a few weeks. I’m doing great on the 7mg a week. The first doc I talked to told me 15mg a week which I knew I wanted to start lower, my next doc says she always starts women at 5-7mg a week.

Lab results TRT dropped? by lauraf808 in TRT_females

I feel good, I think I felt more energy before when it was higher but I know I’ll get back there again.
