[QUOTE="TLawyer, post: 178591, member: 40115"] All: My current protocol: [B]Testosterone cypionate - 200 mg/ml - 0.10 ml daily HCG - 150 IU daily Testosterone cream 50 mg/ml - 1 click daily Anastrozole – 0.125 mg twice per week[/B] About 90 days later, here are my labs: [B]Total Testosterone: >1500 ng/dl Free Testosterone (Direct): >50 pg/ml DHT: 144 ng/dl DHEA - Sulfate: 310.3 ug/dl TSH: 1.520 ulU/ml Prolactin: 11.7 ng/ml PSA: 1.5 ng/ml Estradiol (Sensitive): 55.1 pg/ml SHBG: 11.5 nmol/L[/B] I went for these labs about 2 hours after applying the cream. Defy recommended I get labs after skipping my cream application to see where I would be with injections only. I ended up skipping about a week actually (and had stopped the AI for about 2 weeks at the time of the labs), and here are the results: [B]Total Testosterone: 695 ng/dl Free Testosterone (Direct): 20.8 pg/ml DHT: 48 ng/dl DHEA - Sulfate: 194 ug/dl TSH: 1.430 ulU/ml Prolactin: 12.3 ng/ml PSA: 1.2 ng/ml Estradiol (Sensitive): 49.9 pg/ml SHBG: 13.5 nmol/L[/B] I felt a little more "level" without the cream. I'd be tempted to try dropping the cream, although I understand that my DHT level may not be great for libido (which I'd like to improve), but the E2 still looks a bit on the higher end.
