[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 139904, member: 18023"] I had tried out pregnenolone several times in my life. Once over 20s ago, not on TRT with lowish T. Didn't see a benefit, stopped. In 2018 while on TRT, HCG, DHEA I took pregnenolone for a short time, didn't see a benefit and stopped. IMO I was inconsistent with pregnenolone. Right now with TRT (TU/Nebido) I take ~12.5 mg DHEA and 12.5 mg pregnenolone, no HCG, (+metformin) I feel good, higher libido, the only "complaint" I have is sleep maintenance. I tend to get up around 3:00 AM. I am being consistent with both Preg and DHEA. IMO there are still too many moving parts to really isolate one factor from another. I have been steadily losing weight, about 6 lbs a month, but now for the last 2 weeks I only lost a lb, went down from 168>142. But this means I have been in calorie deficit. Last night I woke up and was pretty hungry, I think at least partially that is what woke me up. I had also been running more on a treadmill, I want to build up to run 5 miles. Right now I run / walk 3.5 miles, still do weight lifting a couple of times a week. fyi, my current weight of 142 is lower than the weight in my profile pic where I was 150 lbs. I have been taking LEF Ultra Prostate Formula, from blood tests I can see it lowered FT, E2 and DHT. It also lowered my PSA from 4.2 > 3.4. In a few days I am going to get a bigger blood test, see how it all comes out. After that blood test, most likely I will stop the ultra prostate formula, when I get to ~135 lbs I will stop losing weight. I will keep up with the protocol I mentioned above, retest at least PSA in 30 days hoping it stays stable. 90% sure I will never use HCG again. The rise in PSA from 2.4 > 4.2 in a short time caused me to focus on that problem and getting it down, while maintaining my total T at 690-1200. Be nice if PSA was lower than 3.4, but I am OK with 3.4. (I had no symptoms of BPH, no indications of cancer, but I needed to stop PSA from rising if I could.) (BTW, cancer is really rare in my family.) [/QUOTE]
