New Labs - Seeking Input - DHEA, SHBG, Androtenedione

[Johnny Trackmarks]

I recently got a spectracell hormone report and would like some input. Current protocol is 110 MG testosterone cypionate E7D with no AI. Bloods were drawn on day 6. I'm 47 years old. 6" 178#s and exercise over 5 hours per week.

Testosterone total: 376. Range 160-726
Free Testosterone: 9.1. 9 - 30
SHBG: 22. 10 - 57
Androstenedione. <0.5. 0.6 - 3.1
DHEA-S 60.3. 0 - 560
IGF-1 139. 74 - 196
Estradiol (E2) 43.1. ND - 56
Estrone (E1) 14. 9 - 36
Progesterone .2. 0.27 - .9

Outside of test and Estradiol I don't know much about the rest of these when TRT is added to the equation.

DHEA-S and Androstenedione seem very low.

Any ideas on dosage? Supplements? Any input is much appreciated.

Somebody's gotta know something about DHEA. I suspect extraneous T is suppressing this and it would not benefit me to supplement. Anyone?

Adding my Thyroid labs. Bueller???

Free T4. 1.26. .82 - 1.77

On 150 MCG Synthroid per day.

How do you feel at those levels? Age? Libido? Erection issues? How long on TRT? Give us more to go on. Why is the range so low? What test?

Your T is ok, but I'd be upping my dose to get it around 800. Don't know age though. Your E is optimal so that's good.

Need more info to more accurately answer. Are you on HCG, an AI?

That's a pretty significant dose of Synthroid, which should bring your TSH down. Have you seen an endo about this? Any preexisting conditions you know of? If not, I'd consult with one to rule out Hashimoto's disease, goiter, etc.

47 Years Old. 6'0" 180#s. Competing runner. 20 -30 miles per week. Hashimoto's with 95% thyroid degredation. Been on 150 MCG Syntroid per day for the last 5 years. I feel pretty good generally. Running strong. Celexa is required for the libido. Without it the boners are lame and infrequent. I'd like to drop the Celexa. Could upping the T dose help? No AI. Never used AI and don't want to if possible. 120 MCG E7D Test Cyp. Been on this for about 6 years.

Have no idea what DHEA is.

Suggestions? Thanks all.
