DavidZ said:Before starting DHT cream, my DHT was consistently about 35 (25 to 75). Since starting DHT cream I've had 3 blood tests: 46, 64, 46.
It's interesting what a big difference a 31% (35-46) increase makes.

pmgamer18 said:Well my DHT is dam high and I am not having any trouble with bph and still feel dam good. Now on much less HCG.
DavidZ said:I've gotten partial results from my 5/31/05 blood draw. T and E2 are about the same as before DHT (T is about 650 and E2 is about 38).
Exactly!1cc said:It's interesting what a big difference a 31% (35-46) increase makes.
My Total and Free T levels came down Total is now 899 and free is 22 we did not test E2 we did 4-OHE and that test was sent out to a different lab and not back yet. My Dr. has me on 500 IU'd a week doing 100 IU's each day starting the 2nd day after my shot of T. So I went from 500 IU's 3 times a week to the above. My E2 has settled down but Dr. wants me to take a .5 mg of Arimidex each day I do the HCG shot along with one table of Indolplex/DIM.ciobl said:pm according to sunkist everything's with the ratio, everything boils down to that ratio....
so you are feeling better with less hcg.....david feels better with less hcg....you still control e with arimidex ( am i correct ) and david with dim but still with less hcg everytime......
I cannot say for sure either way because blood test results vary a lot from month to month. In other words, I don't think blood tests are reliable enough to make this judgement on.1cc said:I am surprised the increased DHT did not affect E2 at all.

Next week I am getting an MRI to see if I have a problem with my Pituitary. I am making a lot of T with a little HCG. Just doing my shot my levels were 600 with 500 IU's of HCG a week I am up at 899 so my Testis are making 300 on the test.
Yes 21 yrs. ago I was diagnosed as Primary. I did not know about high E2 in men until 3 yrs. ago. Adding HCG to my shots has me feeling the best I every felt in 21 yrs. I feel my Dr. had me on to much of the HCG but was not going to fight with him over it it took me to long to get him to try it. My Dr. is doing the MRI because my T levels went up so high adding HCG. Ether my Testis got better in the last 21 yrs. or I was not primary in the first place.ciobl said:pm didn't they diagnosed you as primary ?
you always had problems with e right ? so who told you to take all that hcg ? and if your lh and fsh was elevated what were they trying to restart ?
you're still under exogns t...
SWALE said:I have seen a couple of clinical cases where I would have liked to supplement DHT (5-AR deficiency). Unfortunately, it is not FDA-approved, so I cannot get it.
SWALE said:DavidZ--You might really be on to something here.
As I have written many times, HCG as sole TRT just does not produce the subjective benefits a pure testosterone delivery system does. However, adding in some DHT cream might make it VERY effective. By your report, it is for you.
How about if you wrote a script for a compounding pharmacy?SWALE said:I have seen a couple of clinical cases where I would have liked to supplement DHT (5-AR deficiency). Unfortunately, it is not FDA-approved, so I cannot get it.

Yes, my doctor writes a script.earthdog said:DavidZ,
Is that how you get yours? (script from your doctor)
No my Dr. has me doing both Indolplex/DIM and wants me now to take a .5 Arimidex with each shot of 100 IU's of HCG now doing 5 hcg shots a week. I started on this last Thursday and this morning I did the HCG shot but did not take the Arimidex I feel on the low side for my E2. My 4-OHE test is not back yet so I have no Idea what that is. Yet I still feel dam good.ciobl said:pm according to sunkist everything's with the ratio, everything boils down to that ratio....
