Yes, I agree that dhea will not/should not increase testosterone levels. But will increased testosterone levels as a result of TRT increase DHEA and thus negate, or decrease, the dose needed to bring DHEA back into the high end of range?

Thanks Nelson. That's a very strong endorsement. Libido is one of my biggest problems so I will give it a shot. Lol. Hell of a resource you have built for those of us who have had nowhere else to turn. Much appreciated.

Any of you guys have concerns about using low dose hCG (~1000 IU or less per week) long term? I'm comfortable with the risk/reward profile of Testosterone but having a more difficult time getting on board with hCG given the even more pervasive lack of data/long term studies. Would like to...

Certainly, just added the ranges to the initial post.

My wife has had a history of Raynaud's phenomenon. Docs took her off thyroid meds after her pregnancy as they said she "no longer needed it". She couldn't explain why but didn't want to come off of it. Just had her run a full thyroid blood panel, what do you guys think? TSH 1.99 T4 5.2 T3...
