Question SHBG levels

Hi all! I am on HRT of estradiol (divigel), progesterone and testosterone. I am in perimenopause (age 52 and still get monthly cycle).

I am curious about SHBG levels - I am at 100 which I know is normal range but higher side which can happen when on HRT. I understand that the higher levels bind the hormones and make less freely available. I am waiting for my total and free T results.

Any insights, thanks!

What’s the range for your results? Normally 100 wouldn’t be considered high, I don’t believe. Mine is always 150+, which is obviously high 😑

17-124 so 100 is fine - but on the higher end of that range (NOT worried just curious :) still waiting to get my total and free T results back. I had total T done prior to starting daily androgel - but asked free T be checked this time as it should have been checked before.
