Pregnenolone serum 87ng (range 22 - 237)
My 17-OHP (Progesterone) saliva came out LOW 13 (range 19.5 - 25.9)
DHEA serum 110 (range 93 - 415)
DHEA saliva 0.37 (0.10 to 1.60)
DHEA urine metabolites LOW way below range
Cortisol urine metabolites LOW way below range
Cortisol saliva perfectly normal; and i mean literally perfectly normal
Progesterone saliva (less than 5.0 but doesnt state that is low; just says I need to be under 100)
Melatonin is HIGH in the morning and I dont use any supplements or take anything
Testosterone around 300-340ng
DHT and E2 all low
took tren 20 years ago left me feeling crappy. now 42 feeling even crappier and have to do something now.
took test + HCG from 29-36. came off and felt worse.
main complaints: wake up terrible. tired, never feel refreshed. abdominal pain, weakness.
in general, prostate feels enlarged but is only 0.7 (supposedly low DHEA causes this feeling).
abdominal pain subsides as the day passes but never totally gone, low blood pressure and sugar, weakness, fatigue, cant workout with weights ever since i came off Test + HCG, no energy.
i feel like while on TRT, the HCG definitely increased my pregnenolone which increased my cortisol and DHEA since it was mid-range. my symptoms were better on Test+HCG
i came off TRT + HCG because i couldn't handle the prostate swelling either from the estrogen or just the androgenicity of TRT which also seems to cause it despite lower e2 through the use of a-dex (anastrozole). I tried it all, low daily doses, tiny a-dex doses suspended in vodka (this is by far the best method since i could use 100mcg at a time or even lower)
My pregnenolone levels are not low. My progesterone isn't either. But my 17-OHP is. how is that possible? Also if that is low, why then is my cortisol normal? If I took only progesterone (Vitex) I would get the aldosterone and cortisol I need. But DHEA is still missing, I could add that. Or just take pregnenolone to increase everything? I heard people with 140 taking it and ending up with lower levels at 40! You would think it should increase it.
