[QUOTE="BillyJ03z, post: 213677, member: 17759"] I'm on Test Prop @ 15mg ED SQ and Armour Thryoid 3 grains. For the past 2 1/2 months, I have noticed my hair is rapidly thinning and dry, my beard/stache seems to be growing slower looking mildly sparcer and not as dark.... Energy, mood, libido and sleep sucks... I suspected high E possibly among possibilities. Just got my labs back .... [TABLE][TR][TD] Estradiol, by TMS [/TD] [TD] 51.6 pg/mL [/TD] [TD] 10.0 - 42.0 pg/mL [/TD] [TD] H [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] 5 A DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE [/TD] [TD] 652.3 pg/mL [/TD] [TD] 106.0 - 719.0 pg/mL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] Sex Hormone Binding Globulin [/TD] [TD] 20 nmol/L [/TD] [TD] 11 - 80 nmol/L [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] DHEA Sulfate [/TD] [TD] 138.3 mcg/dL [/TD] [TD] 24.0 - 690.0 mcg/dL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] Testosterone, Free Male [/TD][TD] 149.0 pg/mL [/TD][TD] 47.0 - 244.0 pg/mL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] Testosterone, Total Male [/TD][TD] 531.4 ng/dL [/TD][TD] 300.0 - 890.0 ng/dL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] *Thyroid supplementation raises my SHBG to 20's from the chronic single digits induced by TRT and puts all my Lipids/Cholestrol in range(Lipid Panel has always been bad since on TRT). Pre-TRT my SHBG was 30-37 and Lipids were good. TRT definitely drives down my SHBG and destroys my lipids. Since I'm low SHBG, does high E2 take a priority over DHT giving me the issues I described above? -Regardless of what the Test/FT lab shows I have already reduced Test prop to 10mg ED SQ. -started ADEX @ .25 @ 3 x WK (temporary) just to get E2 down and will reassess at new test dose. -started Oral Preg 30mg in morning (trying to backfill pathways from TRT) -started Oral DHEA 10mg at night (I am sensitive to DHEA, took 25 to 50mg in past drove E2 over 100, but it did put my DHEA to the 50-60% range) -started Progesterone cream 20mg on head (thinning spots) 3 x wk (hoping it regulates DHT bring a little lower) [/QUOTE]
