if trt causes dhea to be low on labs (i.e. pre trt in the mid 100's, on trt - in the 80s), would supplementing dhea with trt, improve dhea levels and fatigue?

Your dhea should increase with TRT, that's why you are told to wait on supplementing with dhea until you are tested after starting TRT. Then if levels are still low you can start supplementing with dhea.
I've been on TRT for a couple years (test only, with some anastrozole) - and just recently moved to Defy. Dr. Saya saw that my DHEA levels were very low and he prescribed 30mg DHEA + 30mg Pregnenolone daily.
Just for another data point...
May I ask what you chose...oral micronized or the cream? I had to switch up, I wasn't absorbing the cream and/or it was aromatizing as my E is/has been unexplainably high.
How long have you been using 30mg DHEA + 30mg Pregnenolone, have you had your levels checked since starting and any difference how you feel?I've been on TRT for a couple years (test only, with some anastrozole) - and just recently moved to Defy.

Higher dose TRT and anabolics can decrease DHEA. I suggest anyone on over 150 mg per week of testosterone to get upstream hormones.
Anabolic steroids and TRT decrease SHBG, DHEA, pregnenolone and progesterone in men.
