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

    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 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.

    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...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
