[QUOTE="YBWV, post: 133869, member: 32335"] 1) T Cream compounded is usually preferred: efficacy/absorbency/cost and comfort - alcohol in gels can irritate sensitive genital skin. 2) There are no "rules". Adding a measure of T Cream to your usual dose of T Cyp will raise your TT and, by aromatase, your E2. Effectively you're increasing the total amount of bioidentical, aromatisable Testostrerone that you are using. The benefits come from the disproportionately high 5-ar conversion to DHT from the creams which improves the DHT:E2 ratio. So the choice, and the potential outcome, as ever are individual. 3) The 2nd rule is there are still no rules. You don't "have" to get the serum level of DHT measured though I believe it's a good idea as I do find the level to reflect the subjective benefits of increasing DHT. Many providers appear not to routinely test DHT: studies have shown that serum DHT, moreso than the other sex hormones, only provides a "hint" of what's going on at receptor and in tissue. I believe the DHT test is also one of the more expensive elements of a bloods panel. [/QUOTE]
