Got bloodwork back. Total t is lower than I would have guessed but free t looks good. Estradiol is in line with the addition of arimidex. Prolactin has come down nicely since discontinuing zoloft. DHEA-S and IGF are above range from 50mg DHEA a day. PSA is half of what it was at initiation...

Those of you that have tested Pregnenolone, what are you aiming for level wise? What have you seen with and without supplemental Pregnenolone? I realize this may not be the most accurate or reliable test but seems to be the best we've got currently. Mine just came back at 42 ng/dL with...

Ran a very extensive blood panel this morning including Pregnenolone, IGF-1, DHEA-S, DHT, etc. Been on hcg for three months. Going to cut it out and then run same follow up labs. Sample size of one but should be interesting nonetheless.

Exactly the kind of content that we need and want. Adds tremendous value for all of us.

Can't wait to see the data. The idea of backfilling the pathways is extremely logical but would be great to have numbers to back it up.

Agreed. You've to find what works for you. It seems to help me too. I'm most interested in their reasoning behind NOT using hcg.

Would be a hell of a study. I've been wondering about this for the last year. Fascinating topic.

Any experience treating patients with neurological disease such as parkinson's?

TRT in older men with PSA levels around 4. Treat or not to treat, when to be concerned, etc.

Glad to hear it. My libido was stronger on 500 IU twice a week than it is now on 100 IU daily but also dropped my T dose down a bit as the combo shot me over 1500...

Any thoughts/experience using T or hGH for patients with Parkinson's Disease. Seen some crazy shit where they were injecting hGH into the brain but that's about all I've been able to track down... Trying to find another way to help my pops who was diagnosed a couple years ago.

Dopamine agonists are very interesting drugs but personally I'd be extremely wary of using them long term unless I suffered from Parkinsons or similar disorder. I've followed many guys over the past 5 years who have literally gone through hell once they've decided/needed to come off the drugs...

Took me two - three weeks at 500 twice weekly. I've since changed dosage to 100IU daily but balls seem to be shrinking a little, may have to bump it back up to 250 twice weekly once I get my next bloodwork done.

Well this is disturbing. Asked DHEA.com where their dhea was sourced and they replied with this... "Please try other brand, don't try ours. Jason" Glad I didn't order from these geniuses.

Thanks. Pure encapulations sources theirs from china unfortunately (it's the product I'm currently using). Nutrabio does too. Haven't found anyone that sources from mexcio yet but I'll keep looking... Dhea.com has not yet responded after multiple inquires which is consistent with the other...

Anyone found DHEA that comes from anywhere other than China? A number of brands are "made in the USA" but that means nothing as the raw material is still sourced from China. Even the higher end companies have responded that they are sourcing from China...

Glad you've got it dialed. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

DHEA (25mg micronized twice a day) along with the hcg helped my libido a ton. Sounds like you're on the right track.

I think 4 weeks, or longer, would be ideal too just trying to balance time with additional insight into the remainder of my blood work. Anxious to see what e2, dhea-s, dht, H/H, etc look like given these high T levels.

Drop the T down to 160mg a week and the hcg to 500IU a week, both split into two doses. Then retest in two/three weeks. Sound like a reasonable course of action to you guys?

Started hCG two weeks ago and my libido is through the roof for the first time in at least ten years. 24 hours is too long to wait for sex, used to be able to go a month and not care. Granted, I just got my bloodwork back my levels are off the chart...

Same labcorp analysis on both, just different paperwork.

Doc started my wife on 30mg Armour Thyroid. Taking 15mg for a couple weeks then bumping up to 30 if she can tolerate. Interested to see what happens. Will update.

Shbg has been high for many years prior to trt and doc was comfortable with higher dose so wanted to 'mass over the top' and negate the high shbg.

One test was discounted labs the other was private md.

4 weeks on the t dose. Two weeks on hcg

Jesus. Time to reduce dose 20% or so? Currently on 200mg test cyp split into two subq injections, one Tuesday, one Friday. 500 IU HCG with each injection. Blood draw was on Monday. Total T >1500, Free T 39.3 One month ago when I was on compounded cream my Total T was 427 and Free T was 5.84 and...

Indeed. Just gotta weigh the risk/reward.

How about hCG, would you guys recommend getting the test cyp dose dialed before adding that in low dose?

Timely discussion as I've been researching the same issues. Subscribed.

Not saying this is accurate but interesting nonetheless.
