[QUOTE="Golfboy307, post: 188025, member: 39462"] Things have been pretty steady and positive for me on my current TRT regimen: 40mg every 2.5 days, IM (120 per week). No AI, no HCG. Just got my latest 6 month labs from my Body Logic doctor, who is very up to date on all matters HRT. The numbers were great, but for second time in a row, my DHT is a bit high. Here is a quick summary: Total T: 825 (range 250-1100) Free T: 149 (range 49-224) SHBG: 27 E2: 28 (Ultrasensitive LC/MS) DHT: 114 (range 12-79) HIGH PSA: 0.2 The DHT number from six months ago was 75, but my dosage was a bit lower. Looking back on several years of results it has been as high as 94 and low as 43. I feel great libido wise at this higher level, and have no side effects (prostate, hair loss etc). I know guys on transdermals can run a lot higher. My question for the group is: at what level do you get concerned? My doctor mentioned DHT lowering options, but does not favor them if at all possible. I am going to retest in 6 months, but don't want this to become an issue. My doctor does not obsess on the numbers, but wanted me to be aware. Appreciate any thoughts or research articles. [/QUOTE]
