[QUOTE="wannabefan, post: 243633, member: 44727"] Who is the endocrine expert here? What is the clinical rationale as to why and how my T levels would drop within 1 month on 200mg transcrotal cream, YET DHT nearly tripled, LH went to 0 (as I’d expect), and HCt went up from 46 to 50? Clearly the T cream was “working”, but T went from 502 to 186, and Free T paralleled that drop proportionately, but why? Taking 50mg DHEA (level tripled) and 50-100mg Pregnenolone at same time; don’t know this had any impact. And on another tangent, I’m not clear the Backfill pathway logic flies. Some say, move cream to back of knee or arm because of issues with holding T in scrotum? Split the doses? As if this would affect the lab reading? Labs done 2 hours post waking, and 22 hours post last application. Needle-phobic somewhat, hence cream. I stopped T cold, reduced DHEA and Preg by 2/3, and T labs came back to pre-TRT within 85% after 28 days.LH came back 100% Estradiol came back 100% (18), BUT SHBG only came back 60% (now low at 19, was 32 before T). Any takers? [/QUOTE]
