Thanks for the reply. I was running the HRT program as per Dr John's advice (100mg/week with 250iu HCG on day 5 & 6). Based on blood tests I was able to keep test levels fairly consistent. I battled acne as a teen and still even now have the occasional natural flare up. I have read some theories...
I am 32 years olf and my total testosterone levels are in the middle of the range (~550ng/dl) whereby my Free Testosterone and Bio-Available test hover around the bottom. In the past I have tried HRT with injectable test @ 100mg/week and had great results. Unfortunately I had to come off as I...
A little while back I ran some avodart (little more potent then propceica) and went and got tested. My total test was unchanged, but my Bio-T dropped by 30%. Makes sense as their is less DHT to bind to SHBG, thereby SHBG goes up and Bio-T goes down...
I have an apt. with my specialist in a months time and plan to ask him to allow me to run a HMG/HCG/Nolvadex Comboin an effort to increase my total testosterone. Here are a few studies I have accumulated so far that I plant to show the doc...Hope this helps

The times that I did supplement with DHEA and had that tested, I did not have my SHBG tested. However, my Bio-T was tested and there was no change. Suffice to say one could then assume that SHBG did not change to any significant degree.
Well I suppose I have come to this conclusion from a method of elimination. I do know that my libido was great pre-anabolic steroids. I do know that after AAS libido and Bio-T levels are poor. If all my main hormone levels are in check (I should have also mentioned I am on syntroid and my TSH is...
Yep, both E2 and Prolactin are in check. I do think the problem is lack of total test. Gotta get some HMG..it's the only component I have never tried. Might just be the key to solving this complex equation...

Leydig cell desensitization from HCG has been shown to be blocked/minimized by Nolvadex. This occurs by supressing HCG's ability to inhibit the conversion of 17 alpha hydroxyprogesterone to testosterone.

You know the more I read, the more I believe what you are suggesting, that possibly our Total test was substantially higher pre-AAS, which would be required for our body's to have a decent amount of Bio-T leftover (given our high SHBG). Just curious as to what drug you are taking to lower SHBG...
I am not asking for directions of anabolic cycles. I am asking for Dr. John's input whether or not my situation is resolvable or whether HRT is warranted.
Thanks for the reply. So were you ever able to increase your Bio-T somehow? If so How? Or did you go the HRT route? I am fully informed on Dr. John's HRT recommendations and luckily my doc is willing to give me the required compounds and follow Dr. John's recommedend dosages (should I decide to...
I know this is somewhat longwinded but here goes….I am 29 years old, 185 lbs, 12%BF. I have done 4 steroid cycles in the past whereby the last one ending in 2004. Since that time my libido has been poor while suffering with ED periodically. I attribute this specifically to my 2nd cycle in 2002...
