    Pregnenolone kills libido

    FYI, 3 months ago I began 25mgs daily Pregnenolone from Empower pharmacy. My baseline reading was .1 ng/ml. I got my labs back today and now I’m at .4 ng/ml. I feel terrific. Definitely has HELPED sexual function and estrogen balance.

    Does anyone know any women on HRT through Defy Medical ?

    My wife works with Dr Saya as do I. She has had a terrific experience so far. She’s working out the kinks of her protocol but Defy has the tools and experience to handle any side effect/adjustments that will be necessary.

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    Trough reading at 1482?! I am assuming you’re high SHBG? If I was on a that dose I would be in a BAD place w sides. Thanks for your insights!!!

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    If I am currently on 10mgs test Cyp daily would I reduce Cyp to 5mgs and then replace the other 5mgs with Nandrolone or did you just add Nandrolone on top of your Testosterone dose?

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    I’ve lowered my cream dose from 2 to 1 clicks. I’m hoping that will do the trick in reducing Estradiol. I’m not going to raise my AI dose. If that doesn’t work I’ll try the nandrolone idea. Best of luck to you.

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    I’m pretty sensitive to Estrogen probably because of my SHBG. I’ve been at this for 7 years and after much trial and error have found I’m best with estradiol around 30 pg/ml. I know it seems crazy that you feel differently from that small variation but I do. I’m just a little spooked of the AI...

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    AdamYoung I am on 10 mgs Test Cyp daily. In addition I was on 2 clicks of 100mg/ml cream applied to scrotum. This week I’ve reduced it to 1 click in an effort to reduce Estradiol a bit more. I’m also on .125 Armidex twice weekly and HCG 250 iu twice weekly. my labs hit my mailbox yesterday...

    Minimum Dosage or freq for low SHBG

    Interesting. Slick top whats your protocol if I may ask. I’m low SHBG and interested in getting off my AI dose of .125 twice weekly. If I inject 10 mgs daily would I now inject 5mgs of each daily?

    Lab Results - Injection Only/No Cream

    You are correct. My cream levels is 50 mg per day. Might be a bit too much but I’m going to wait for Dr Saya’s opinion at my next consult in July. I’ve yet to test DHT with cream but my baseline was 39. And yes I do HCG 250 iu twice weekly. I know the dose is low but it gives my balls just...

    Lab Results - Injection Only/No Cream

    You have a very similar protocol to me. IMHO If you’re looking to keep the cream I’d significantly reduce the injection dose. I’m doing 2 clicks of the 100 mg/ml cream and .05ml test cyp daily. After 6 hours post cream and injection this brings me to : 1282 Total Test 38 Free T 41 sensitive...

    Anyone with diverticulitis?

    Weird response on labs after switching to daily injections

    I’m down to 10 mgs daily along with 2 clicks of 100mg/ml cream. You need to significantly reduce the dose when you go daily. When I was injecting twice per week I was on 90mgs weekly. I might lower it to 8 mgs daily. Going to wait for Dr Saya’s guidance next consult.

    How to Predict Estradiol and DHT at Different Testosterone Doses

    My last sensitive estradiol was 40.6 My last Total Test was 1282 Splitting hairs but might it be too low? FYY, I’m on Armidex .125 twice per week.

    How to Predict Estradiol and DHT at Different Testosterone Doses

    So forgive my naivety, is the Estradiol measure used presumably “overstated” compared to what the sensitive test would show? I’m trying to figure out what the corresponding sensitive estradiol would be for a Testosterone level of 1275 ish. Using the table, I assume it should be 64.2 but then...

    Trouble with libido lately

    Have you tested DHT or Progesterone levels? Both were extremely low for me and when I got these levels to high normal ranges my libido and sexual function improved greatly. Just a thought. Considering adding a small bit of cream and Pregnenolone to support Progesterone levels if you haven’t...

    Testosterone Cream + Injections

    Great point but I’m on .125 armidex twice weekly. I’d like to lower the dose a hair and get off the AI if at all possible. I’m gonna give it a try for a few months but I guess I can always go back up to 10 mgs daily. The beauty of daily injections is that you create stable serum levels in around...

    Testosterone Cream + Injections

    I completely agree that Injection + cream is the best approach. I’ve been frustratingly searching for 7 years to find a protocol that makes me FEEL best. The DHT boost from the cream was a missing piece for me. My DHT on injections only was 39. This morning I just got labs back as I’ve LOWERED...

    Lower HCG dosage yielding far better results - surprising

    I only take 250 IU twice weekly. My testicles are at least 90% of normal if not full size. Less is more with HCG for me.

    Progesterone??

    I have recently added Pregnenolone 25mgs daily to my protocol. My Progesterone was extremely low (.1). I have noticed much better mood and erectile function. I’m a big believer in bringing these hormone levels out of these low ranges.

    Does Pregnenolone and/or DHEA raise testosterone or estrogen levels?

    Interesting. It increased Free Testosterone in the study. Ok. And I’m assuming Pregnenolone is an “upstream” hormone that converts a portion to DHEA and Progesterone but Pregnenolone doesn’t convert to estrogen. It’s the downstream effects?

    Does Pregnenolone and/or DHEA raise testosterone or estrogen levels?

    I’m curious as I have just begun taking 25mgs Pregnenolone from Empower pharmacy daily. I might be crazy but when I started DHEA I think my testosterone levels went up slightly. I’m wondering if I’ll have to lower my daily testosterone injection dose. Any thoughts or personal experience would be...

    How to Increase DHT levels for Better Sex Drive

    I agree. Too much DHT is ungood. I was on cream only (200mg/ml) and couldn’t tolerate the high levels and sides. I also recently added 25 mgs pregnenolone ED in an effort to raise LOW progesterone. Maybe that is helping too. ‍♂️

    How to Increase DHT levels for Better Sex Drive

    I recently added a low dose cream (100mg/ml 1 click daily to scrotum) to my daily /10mgs Test Cyp. It’s only been a few weeks but I feel better than ever after 7 years on trt. My DHT level was 39 before this change which is on the lower end of the range. Dr Saya said it was low relative to my...

    Fascinating Cataceous. With those numbers I’m guessing your SHBG is around 24? Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your insights.

    Wasted testosterone in dead space in syringe

    It’s funny but last month I had to call Defy Medical because the 5ML vial they gave me did not have anywhere near enough Testosterone to last 60days on my .07 ml daily dose. To your point with waste your drawing .13 ish ml daily or 7.8 ML over 60 days!!! After monkeying with different syringes...
