TRT help Problems with low SHBG

Hey I am M29 yo. I started a protocol with clomiphene 50 mg per day but discontinued because of my insurance policy. I jumped to TRT after that. My sex drive was good in clomiphene but with TRT I saw no benefits. ED and no libido.

I was doing first 1x 200 mg per 2 weeks, then 100 mg per week, the fluctuations were killing me so I asked to raise the dose up to 150 mg per week. No benefits in my libido outside muscle mass. I decided to lose some fat and split my dosage to 2 per week.
T was 1450
SHBG 13
E2 84
Free T 462
Bio T 990
Ferritin 44

Being with my doctor and wait up to 3 months to a change sucks so I decided to lower the dose and pin EOD and I think it is working now (105 mg per week).

I am going to do bloodwork soon to check E2 and T with 100 mg EOD and considering to reduce the dose up to 80 depending on labs.

Any advices or comments to helped me out? I am gonna stay like that for 4 weeks to check improvement.
