[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 130379, member: 15043"] Does the DHEA range really go up to 2486? That’s an extremely odd range if that’s true. What dose of DHEA were you taking when it came back high? It seems impossible that your DHEA was actually 2260. I’m pretty sure that’s the wrong test for DHEA anyways. The gold standard, as far as I know, is to test for DHEA-S. Looks like you just had the regular DHEA test done. You did, however, have the correct test done when your DHEA was 186.6. And I’m not sure that those are the only two reasons SHBG can be high. Mine has always been high, and pre TRT my E2 always sat around low to mid 20’s. My thyroid is also not very high. I have a low TSH, low reverse T3, low total T4 and T3, and a free T3 of 3.4 (2.3-4.2). What’s your hesitation with starting TRT? If I were you, I would personally get on TRT. Even with supplementing with DHEA and pregnenolone, it’s hard to believe that you’re going to overcome that very high SHBG and ever have a decent free testosterone from just those two supplements alone. I would also address your thyroid and low DHEA level. [/QUOTE]
