The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

[lemonflavor]

There are syringes marked off in hundredths(?), most are marked in 2/4/6/8/10 increments but some brands/models are marked in 1/2/3/4/5 and so on to achieve a dose of .37mL, for instance.

I wonder why the dose is so precise though. I do in fact have syringes like that and stay to the exact dose. I don't know why I'm asking since I don't like round numbers anyway, just curious how a dose like 74mg comes about. Thanks for the reply.

Guys can get to the point of fine tuning to the order of making 2-4mg changes where you can end up with an odd number dose.

That makes sense. I've done that with other medications and doctors either don't understand it ("but the pills don't come in that size"), or I just don't tell them. Only reductions of course.

When you say the oral DHEA from Defy, was it oral or sublingual? And what compounding pharmacy?
