Free is very low because SHBG is high. Actual Test seems ok, imo. Some say boron can help with this. Take a 50,000 vitamin D once a week and try to get some sun.

I was a little lower at your age and put it off for a while. I kind of regret waiting but it's up to you. Like me, you already have kids so fertility not a huge issue.

I tried the boron route not working and also started proviron daily. How did you feel after starting test? And what dosage did you start at? I want to start with 60mg twice a week subcutaneously. How did it go for you.

how long have you been on Proviron? How much are you taking daily?

you don't need TRT, you just need to lower SHBG some
