Usage: 10 years
Started: 06 May 2001
Stopped: 01 Jul 2011
Location: Philadelphia
Taken on 2-16-2012 (about 6 weeks after post-fin crash). Ordered by Shippen.
FSH------3.5 (1.6-8.0 mIU/mL)
LH-------2.4 (1.5-9.3 mIU/mL)
TSH------3.06 (0.40-4.50 mIU/L)
T4, free---1.2 (0.8-1.8 ng/dL)
T3, free---3.0 (2.3-4.2 pg/mL)
T3, rev----47 (11-32 ng/dL)
DHT------33 (25-75 ng/dL)
SHBG-----68 (10-50 nmol/L)
IGF-I -----167 (52-328 ng/mL)
DHEA Slf--243 (45-345 mcg/dL)
Prolactin--4.8 (2.0-18.0 ng/mL)
Test., Tot-658 (241-827 ng/dL)
Estradiol--16 (< or = 39 pg/mL)

6x/day Saliva Cortisol. Taken on 2-19-2012.
8AM-----3.24 (3.5-6.3 ng/ml)
Noon----2.30 (1.4-2.8 ng/ml)
4PM-----2.22 (0.8-2.4 ng/ml)
8PM-----1.11 (0.6-1.6 ng/ml)
12AM----1.28 (0.2-1.2 ng/ml)
4AM-----1.81 (0.3-1.7 ng/ml)

Obviously, Reverse T3 and SHBG are way over reference range. I'd like to deal with my hypothyroid symptoms before I deal with my libido/ED situation. However, I'm afraid that taking thyroid medication would further raise SHBG.

Do you know what other things can cause SHGB to rise. I know estradiol can?

Androgens decrease it I think. Your estradiol seems to be low. Do ou know your blood cortisol?
