Thanks Vince:))

I was wondering if guys who have a problem with E2 have tried 7-keto DHEA? I read that many guys on this board use DHEA and or Pregnenolone in their protocol. 7-keto DHEA doesnt convert to estrogen correct? Also, what is a good starting dosages for 7-keto DHEA? Thanks:)

Any gurus able to advise on which test is better? I have had a progesterone test before, which turned out ok. Always in the range of 0.28-0.40.

Does pregnenolone or DHEA raise E2? Or do they help lower it? I am wanting to lower my E2 levels and decrease the anxious feelings I get from my E2 levels. I take 25mg EOD of T.

Hello... I have been on TRT for a while and have been taking 40mg 3 times per week to combat E2 problems. I am trying not to need an AI. My results last week were TT 575, FT was 10 and E2 was 92.............. I have switched to 25mg EOD to try lowering the E2 resonse. My question is has...

Hello, I will be starting HRT again and wish to know the best time to have a follow up blood test. I want to know how soon or after a shot is best. I will either take two shots per week Mon/Thurs...or three shots per week Mon/Wed/Fri. Many thanks
