What is considered a high dose of transdermal DHEA cream?

I believe in an earlier post you mentioned that it takes 7 days to reach steady state and you felt great right away. I have been on Jatenzo 237mg BID for ten days. I have not felt well or noticed any improvement in symptoms. I have actually felt worse and extremely tired 3-4PM where I can barely...

My baseline hematocrit is 50 without being on testosterone. My doctor will discontinue therapy at 54 or require blood donation. Tanked ferritin in past with frequent donations. My blood pressure also goes up with increase in hematocrit and hemoglobin

Thanks

I have been following your journey for a while. My Urologist just prescribed Jatenzo 237mg 2x day. Like many I have had a difficult time on creams, pellets and injections. My question is could I start out with taking it 1x day at 9am for the first week to slowly adjust to it and then take 2x day...

What is an optimal AM Cortisol. I had these labs drawn at 10AM. The normal Quest range is noted, but it is not always optimal. I am currently not taking any TRT or supplements but considering DHEA and Pregnenolone as both have previously tested low. My DHEA level is at the bottom of the Quest...

Thanks

How soon after non-scrotal test cream application should I have labs drawn to measure testosterone levels? My understanding was 3-4 hours after application for blood draw. Thanks in advance for any feedback

My baseline Free T is 5.1pg/dl and Total T is 400 ng/dl before any treatment. 56 year old male

Thanks for the reply. What other body parts will you apply?

Could a low dose of 25mg or 50 mg 1x day scrotal application be effective without elevating DHT too much?

Unfortunately iron supplements raise RBC etc so I can’t take them until my levels come down. What are pb issues?

Do you also have high RBC, Hct and hgb. If so how do you manage it with low ferritin

The good news is my blood pressure has not increased at all, currently 120/75 and my resting heart rate is 55. I am 56 years old 6’3” 218lbs. Regular exercise and clean diet. Platelets currently 160 thousand/uL, prior to injections 150 thousand/uL

My current ferritin level is 18ng/mL without any blood donation in last 10 months. If I donate a pint of blood how much lower can my ferritin levels drop? If it drops in half I’m not sure if my symptoms could be much worse than they currently are. My RBC is 6.2 Hemoglobin 18.8g/dL Hematocrit...
