    LOW SHBG help please fellas, what does this mean?

    Hey guys, im on TRT and had blood work done, I accident injected 250mg so 1ml of sustanon instead of my usual 125mg and had bloods done, these 2 labs came back.

    Testosterone over 52nmol, range is 8-30. Lol doc questioned it hahha

    But what I don't understand is SHBG. results are

    14nmol, range is 13-71. What does this mean? Do I need to get proviron or?

    ... why are you complaining... XD

    Proviron will lower your SHBG.

    That's normal you are on testosterone... It lower your SHBG.

    THATS NOT A BAD THING!

    Agree with above with one caveat. Long term you don't want low shbg. Mid-range is better.

    What shall I do then mate? How do I bring it up? Will low SHBG have an effect on my wellbeing or would I feel no difference even if it was off the charts?

    Do nothing until you get BW done without skewed results. Meaning when your TRT protocol is stable and not altered by a much larger than normal shot.

    androgens do lower shbg. However, your test is not clinically significant. All things consider it is not too bad really. The only thing you ought to consider is that SHBG affects the total testosterone measurement. Free test levels may also be affected slightly, since it is not a totally sensitive test.

    Having a lower but normal-ish SHBG is actually a good thing as far as your bioavailable test goes... what's all the fuss about?
