I am 45 year old male. I don’t want to do trt because body produces great at my age. Lh=8.1 fsh=8.86.

Only thing was progesterone was .31 which was high. No clue why

What do you suggest perhaps. My symptoms are strength loss in gym and little tired

Take a natural supplement that will help lower SHBG some, raising free/available test levels. Something like stinging nettle extract, tongkat ali/longjavk, or boron, just for example. Or you could cycle through these even.

A far better test than free test is bioavailable test if you can get your Dr to order it. Testosterone is basically in 3 buckets , bound unusable, weakly bound to albumin and useable and completely free. Bioavailable measures the the weakly and unbound. I assume you have your E2 numbers as well?

 

[AndShane]

E2 was 24 great and albumin was in range higher end
