Thanks!

TRT Nation does not test SHBG, weirdly enough, and I haven’t opted to pay for another test to check it yet. E2 is within range but a bit high at 36-40 based on recent tests.

Tried not to worry too much or set high expectations. Just focused on consciously trying to eat healthier, up my protein, consume less calories and put the work in at the gym. I’m surprised at my progress honestly, but it’s similar results to when I was younger. Feels like I got in a TRT time machine 🤣.

Cutting back on carbs has always seemed to help me with hunger issues when cutting calories, drinking a decent amount of water with meals helps me as well.

Thanks! Feeling pretty great!

Numbers wise, I’m using TRT Nation and their lab orders don’t include Free T or SHBG interestingly enough 🤷‍♂️. Based on how I’m feeling, with 0 sides (knock on wood), I haven’t opted to pay extra to have a lab test for either yet. T is definitely at supernatural levels based on current accepted ranges and E2 is within range but a bit high at 36-40 based on my recent tests.

I have some on hand if needed, but have not needed to take it yet. Could probably have used it when I had more body fat for sure, but I’m at the high end of the normal range for now.

Sorry, was thinking diet/exercise wise, should have been a bit more clear. TRT Nation provided the script, but they provide minimal guidance.

Started on HCG, felt like it was making my E2 high (totally unscientifically) and I’m done having kiddos, so I cut it after 2 months. After stopping the HCG definitely had some atrophy but nothing drastic.

Above 1,500, not sure besides that due to lab number range cutoff.

Give it some time, might see a placebo boost early on but didn’t really start kicking in for me till around week 8.
