Week 6 Bloods - 24hreup

[Dead]

No I do not. Haven't heard that DHEA would production ever would shut down. I have heard of lower numbers on TRT or on a cycle. My last bloods I was a little over 400 when not taking anything.

I also experience no testicular atrophy on cycle at all.

What if a man significantly boosts his testosterone through HRT (TRT)? Will that raise or lower his DHEA?

Unfortunately, my answer to that question is anecdotal: there are several knowledgeable HRT physicians who have stated that decreased DHEA is a common side effect in the medium and long term testosterone therapy. The reason given for this is that testosterone tends to shut down the body's HPA (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal) axis, and the theory is that this "shutdown" can leave some men with lower DHEA.

Well that’s extremely surprising to me I was totally under the impression dhea gets shut down even on trt. Thx for the reply

No problem, I'm no expert here so might actually be beneficial to make a thread asking that specifically.

Do yourself a favor and get your hematocrit checked when running any AAS...especially EQ. That shit
Can be brutal.

I often wondered, and this may sound stupid, if the increased vascularity obtained when running EQ can be attributed, even slightly, to the increased blood thickness? Shit makes sense to me but I could be wrong.

Blood volume rather than blood thickness
But yes it does contribute
