[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 214291, member: 18023"] I started at age 58 and I am guessing my total T was ~350 ng/dl. But I am not sure what my total T level was at the time since the doctor didn't require a testosterone test. I did get a PSA / and EKG test. My guess is likely accurate, as at age 43 my total was 376ng/dl, subsequent readings at age 65 when I paused trt was 349, so its a fair guess my total T was around 350 ng/dl. IMO people make a big deal about shutting down HPTA, but in nearly all cases you have just start it again. So try it if you really want to, but with your numbers I would look somewhere else for your problems. I supplemented DHEA when I 43 back in 1995, my level was 6672 ng/ml (800-5600), so 20% over the top of the range. It had no benefits that I could discern. Currently on TRT, I supplement dhea just to bring the number into range, not sure there is a benefit, but no harm. "some telling to do 150+ once a week. That seems extreme to me with my numbers below." Your current numbers aren't going to matter once you start TRT; as noted many times, HPTA will get shut down. BTW, one of your reasons for wanting TRT seems to be peer pressure, and honestly, after the last 2 years, nothing is the way it used to be [/QUOTE]
