It seems like you get a bit of a boost in T numbers from the HCG then?

That's so strange. I am glad you are feeling better now.

If you don't mind me asking, if I wanted to raise DHT through injections alone, would it make sense to increase my Test dose accordingly? For example, if 40mg T solo had me at 60dht, increasing it to 60mg as a starting point to get me to around 90dht?

I suppose it is worth asking my doc to see if he will prescribe it. I ran the first TRT guys protocol for about 6 months and the oily skin never went away, but maybe it was the DHEA.

Thank you for the input and your response! I appreciate it and will look into doing this.

Thank you for the reply. I am definitely at mid range or barely there - but I am worried that more DHT will mean a massive increase in oily skin and acne, as I am already getting it at these lower levels?

Why did you stop then, if it felt so great? Did it not work out long term?

I know what you're saying - I know that these protocols feel different - but none of them felt "dialed in".

I'm not concerned about the mental aspect of injecting daily, it wouldn't bother me. I guess I was just looking for advice on a new working protocol.

Do you think that would be a good method to try given my situation?

My thyroid is in range apparently. TSH: 1.2mcu/mL (range: <2.5) T4 Free: 1.3 ng/mL (range: >1.5) T3 Free: 3.3 pg/mL (range: >2.5) Reverse T3: 131 pg/mL (range: 80-250)

I just don't want to turn it into a thread where I am bashing a doctor or clinic, or into a discussion about that, because I'm seeking help for myself, and trying to stay on topic.

I'm sorry, that was pg/mL for the reverse T3. Reposted with the lab ranges a couple posts down from here.

Thanks for the reply. My thyroid is normal, I just posted my numbers in a reply to someone else. I may think about daily injections if its a good route. What is a good daily injection dose? I imagine the 26mg my doctor is recommending is way too high.

My Thyroid Labs that I have available: TSH: 1.2 T4 Free: 1.3 T3 Free: 3.3 Reverse T3: 131

I tend to do a little better when I am on T only. The only issue I have there is that my skin gets bad compared to when I'm on HCG and that kills my confidence. I figure there has to be some way to get the right balance so that even if I'm on T only, my skin won't go nuts. I heard daily...

Apologies in advance for the long post, and thank you for helping/reading - I'm just going to try and provide as much information as possible to address any potential questions from leaving out key information. I'm a secondary hypo patient - I've been on TRT for many years now and can never...
