Blood test update - questions..

The latest test results are after 5 weeks on the adjusted/ latest protocol -

Testosterone : From a baseline of 400 ng/dl I was injecting sub q into the love handles T prop @ 70 mgT/wk on a 20mg eod basis. That resulted in Total T of 1350 ng/dl. A much larger response than I was expecting. So I figured to drop it from 70 to 50 mg/wk of T to end up around 800 ng/dl. At the same time the prop produced red itchy lumps, especially in the belly and love handles, so switched to the glutes which still reacted, but a bit less so – then switched to T enanthate 50 mg T/wk on a 25 mg twice a week basis also sub q into the glutes. The red itchy lump problem has been solved. Total T now 480 ng/dl. This seems a disproportionate drop. How can this be? I was expecting a result of around 900. It’s half that. Maybe the glutes absorb less than the love handles – or the prop is retained better than the enanthate?? I am thinking to go back up to 65 - 70mg/wk.

E2 was 494 pg/ml so for week one took 1 mg Adex (2 x 0.5) , second week 0.75 mg (2 x 0.375) , third, fourth & fifth wk 0.5mg (2 x 0.25mg) Now E2 is 11 – a bit too low.
Looks like I am pretty sensitive to it. Will drop to 0.25/wk (2 x 0.125)

SHBG was 41 – now 47. All previous tests have been in the 40 – 44 range. Why is this?

Vit D steady at 58 ng/ml – have not changed from taking 5000iu/d

DHEA S was 665 mcg/dl on 50 mg/d – dropped to 25mg/d and the blood level is now 550. Will drop to 25mg EOD of DHEA.

Hcg – I increased from 750 iu/wk to 1000iu/wk due to aching boys. I do 300 iu eod. Seems to be good.

In summary what I am thinking is:
Leave hcg as is,
Leave Vit D as is,
Increase T enanthate to 65 - 70mg/wk, half into one love handle & half into the opposite glute
Reduce adex from 0.5 mg/wk to 0.25mg/wk
Reduce DHEA from 25mg daily to 25mg eod
Maybe add nettle root for SHBG suppression?

What do y’all think?? Your feedback would be appreciated.. JH.
