I had the same experience with DHEA spiking E levels. I stopped taking DHEA altogether and don't even test for it anymore!

Thank you so much everyone for the solid information. This is such an outstanding community and forum. You guys are the best!!

The PSA came in at 0.5, the range is 4.0 or <). So 0.5 is really low and has been at that level for over 10 years.

Yes

Agree on the somewhat low FT level but each time I've raised T, E and SHBG go too high so I'm out of options.

No symptoms at all just concerned about the high DHT blood level. I totally agree about finasteride and propecia! Thanks for the information Systemlord.

53 years old, on TRT for the past 15 years and feel fantastic! I have labs every year or sooner. Prescribed 100 mg Test Cyp., no AI and using weekly subq. injections. If I raise my T even by .25 mg, my DHT, E2 and SHBG rise significantly, so Iv'e been resigned to maintain the course. DHT has...

Thank you for the solid advice Vince and Ratbag. I REALLY appreciate it. I feel a lot better without the Adex.

Current lab results using 100mg Test. subq. once per week *blood draw on the day of injection(just prior to) Total Test. 1055 (range 250-1100) Free Test. 113 (range 46-224) Bioavailable Test. 223 (range 110-575) SHBG 51...

My schedule has been Wed. PM 50 mg and Sat. AM 50 mg. so you are saying do 100 mg this Wed. and each Wed. thereafter? Would the Test. spike be insignificant?

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you! What is the best way to revert back to once per week when you have been doing every 3.5 days?

Not to overly complicate this discussion, but I went to every 3.5 days/ 2X a week in conjunction with stopping the A-Dex completely. Maybe this is a factor too.

That's what I've been reading and what Dr. John Crisler advocates sometimes but even when I was doing once weekly it was still high as indicated in the labs. Nevertheless, I am going to go back to once weekly sub q. According to what I understand, you need the larger volume of T to overcome...

Is there a way to lower SHBG?

He had me stop A-dex completely. I don't think I need it at all even at 100 mg Test. per week since at that dose my E2 was only 20. I am fairly lean and my body fat is about 18-20%. I've read that E2 levels are naturally lower in leaner males with less overall body fat? Do you think this is...

Going forward that is my plan for all lab work. The low E2 also negatively affected my lipids raising total cholesterol, and LDL. What is the correlation and have you had a similar experience?

Thanks for the warm welcome Vince. I've been browsing some of your replies in the various sections. You have a great deal of knowledge AND a willingness to take the time to help others. Thank you for all you do here!

I'm 52 and been on TRT for the past 14 years. RX for 100 mg Test. Cyp. IM and .25 A-dex per week for almost the entire time after getting tuned up. Labs done annually. Injecting 1x per week and A-dex two days after. Previous labs 4 days after Test. inj. were: TT-1423 TF-134 T-Bioav.-283...

I stumbled on this site recently and I'm really impressed with the outstanding information and knowledgeable members. I've been on TRT for the past 14 years and recently had some minor issues I need input on (I will post in the appropriate section). Looking forward to learning more and helping...

Is it true that low very low E2 levels negatively affect Parathyroid Hormone levels and consequently result in bone loss?

Great tool!
