Hello fellas,
My Doctor just put me in a TRT protocol consisting of Testosterone cream (applied to the scrotum), vitamin D, Melatonin and DHEA. The compounded pharm is MedQuest. I should receive the medications sometime next week and will be able to post the exact doses and concentrations then. I am concern in regards to DHT spikes or over conversion of T to DHT while applying the cream to the scrotum. No blood work has been done to determine the levels of total and free test (although a year ago total-T was tested at 567 nq/dl), and the Doctor has indicate will start TRT based on empirical data and symptoms. After 30 days I will then get blood work done which will test for; T-total, T-free, DHEA/s, IGFI, T3, estradiol, insulin, LH, cortisol, SHBG, prolactin and HGH.
Should I ask the Doc to include DHT levels with this blood work or should I let him do it's job. He seems to be covering all the Bases, and then, I am a novice.
