[QUOTE="rafapark, post: 124433, member: 18441"] Hi Vince: Sorry I missed your response. I made the mistake I guess of changing two things at the same time: AI and DHEA. I was coming to Defy from a local doctor and the Defy doc put me on 25mg of DHEA and reduce my AI from 0.5mg to 0.125mg and that took my Estradiol level to 41.9 pg/ml. I also noted that my total testosterone at 1615 ng/dl vs estradiol will give me a ratio of 38.5. I've been reading that a good ration should be between 20 to 30. I wouldn't mind any of these numbers if not for the fact that i was feeling amazing 4 weeks after starting with Defy ( with AI at 0.125 and adding 25 mg of DHEA). Very strong libido, raging erections and energy. I had not felt this way since I was in my 20s. I am 62yo! However all this went away almost overnight. I assume that in my case there is a threshold for Estradiol and free T that I crossed and I need to find the right number again that is associated with how great I felt for 4 weeks. I actually felt better with free T at 22 than free T at 32.8 where it is today. I stopped DHEA but still have not found the sweet spot. So questions for the you and anybody else that could give me some guidance: 1 - Instead of eliminating DHEA should I just reduce it to say 12.5 mgs instead of 25mgs? I assume DHEA had something to do with my extremely high libido for those 4 weeks but also with the higher estradiol. 2 - Do you think my estradiol is too high as compared to my total T, free T and SHBG? 3 - Does my ratio total T/ estradiol seem too high? I have an appointment with Defy this week and I'd like to come to it with as much information as possible in order to ask the right questions. Thanks a lot in advance!! Rafa [/QUOTE]
