[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 153054, member: 18023"] I was basing my post on the labs I took. Total T 690: 6 months later > 638 Free T 20.7: 6 months later > 9.6 E2 20.3: 6 months later > 12.3 DHT 74: 6 months later > 43.6 SHBG 41.1: 6 months later > 66.2 One could make a case my total T of 638 was lower than one would have expected, but it wasn't far out of line, and it also isn't that easy to predict as I take Nebido which has a very long half life, what week I test makes a very big difference. The total T of 638 was 54 days after an injection of Nebido. DHEA also declined a lot since I stopped supplementing it, but I had never noticed DHEA causing any changes in anything other than DHEA levels. As I mentioned, a lot of things changed, I also stopped taking HCG, along with pregnonolone and stated LEF Ultra Prostate. These conversions of total T > E2 and DHT depend not only on the amount of T available, they depend on enzymes and other molecules in the body to work, so there are many possible reasons levels could change. In the past before this time with TRT when I was taking no hormones at all, I saw supplementing with boron increase my free T and E2 by 40% and 100% respectively without any real change in total T. FT and E2 were still low, but a lot higher than the previous test. I saw your tread about testosterone clearance rate and SHBG, but I didn't see if that was based on theory or actual lab tests where SHBG was raised or lowered then affecting Total T. [/QUOTE]
