[QUOTE="YBWV, post: 135508, member: 32335"] My take on your Labs, and the symptoms you report, is that your DHT is too low. Your other numbers do indeed potentially look "good" but your inadequate 5a-r conversion to DHT prevents you from getting the results that you seek. You didn't include your lab ranges but, assuming typical ranges, you are probably barely mid range. You would likely do well at around 90 which is near the top of most ranges for DHT. Your current T Clinic's idea to greatly increase your total weekly dose of injectable T seems to me a bad idea. What I [B]suggest [/B](unless raising DHT is contraindicated) is that you investigate the mixed modality of T delivery - part T injectable and part T Cream to scrotum. This method of TRT has been discussed a lot here on Excelmale, particularly in the last few weeks, so the Search function will show the relevant threads. If you find merit in this type of protocol then you could give it a try either with your current provider or, perhaps better, a new provider. It is essentially a small change in protocol as you can remain at the same TT and just change the delivery method of a proportion of the T that you take. Many guys find that this small change can make a big difference and bring significant relief of symptoms. [/QUOTE]
