[QUOTE="davidrn, post: 247031, member: 13164"] I did get one free E2 test a few years ago, because of my low SHBG, the results were WNL, but there are no real optimal levels listed anywhere, so I don't know what we can do with the actual results. I lost my account last week, and I got a new account, thought I would move the question over here. Currently I am 66 years old, 145lbs, 5'7",have an auto immune disease: RA and use Humira. My current protocol is: T Cream (200 mg diluted with Lubriderm to 25 mg) I apply this daily to scrotum ( I started using it straight from the compounding quik tube, but diluted it to bring my T levels down. Costs for 200 or 25 mg are the same, so I use a 200mg and dilute it 300% with Lubriderm, my Urologist thought that was a good (fiscal) idea. DHEA 25 mg 3x wk DIM 200 mg 3x wk Pregnenolone 100mg 3 x wk Progesterone cream (aprox 25mg dose ) applied to scrotum Here are last weeks labs (thanks for the discount Nelson) TT 529 (post T Cream 8 hours) FT 122 E2 33 DHT 192 (12-65) DHEA 234 (20 -217 for my age) SHBG 15 (22-77, dropped last 2 were 17 and 19) Prolactin 9.4 (2 -18) I am feeling well, but libido still has room for improvement, I am unsure of which labs I should work to change. My E2 was slightly higher, but my SHBG is also very low, should I increase my DIM to daily? I have not used an AI in a few years. I have started to take DIM daily, might be just enough? Is the DHT level too high? I read levels (using scrotal T cream) in the thousand + range, so assume I am only slightly elevated? Any other thoughts would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
