Blood work results, testosterone cream and HCG

[Cylon357]

Ok, so I have been on 20% compounded cream and HCG for about 3 months now. I have my first blood work below, but in short: it is working so far for me, with some areas of concern. Also, my 5-alpha reductase is the strongest there is

Protocol
1 "click" (1/4 ml) of 200mg / ml Testosterone cream, twice daily AM and PM
250iu HCG MWF
12.5 mg Proviron twice daily, AM and PM

With the average absorption rate of around 10% for the cream, that is roughly a 70mg per week injection equivalent.

I did drop the proviron 7 to 10 days out from blood work, though I don't think it really mattered. I ran the same amount of proviron with my SERM based HRT and it served mainly to lower SHBG.

In other words, the DHT reading we see in these results is likely because of the fact that cream, for some reason, seems to be more susceptible to 5-alpha reductase.

Summary
DHT is out of control, the f-word (not that one, finasteride) is likely in my future
Free T is slightly over range
Total T is at 890 out of 1100
E2 is in range for the first time in forever without an AI (possibly the proviron helped here)
PSA and Free PSA % indicate very little risk of prostate cancer and are not out of line with previous results
Platlet count is a little low, though that could be the fact that they took 11 vials or that my hemis have been acting up

Blood work was taken 12 hours after last cream application, 24 hours after last HCG injection and 24 hours after last 75mcg levothyroxine dose.

Actually, will proviron show up as DHT? I don't think it will but thought I would confirm with the more knowledgeable members here.

Had my follow up and physical with the doc yesterday. Doc checked everything, found it normal for me, and basically said "let it ride". So, going to let the DHT just be high for now as long as PSA or anything else doesn't go south. I may super microdose some fina (like 50mcg 2 or 3 x per week) just to see if I get anything positive from it, but that is just my idea.

Doc did say "DHT is a feel good hormone" and I'm like geez, I wish everybody knew that. If you want to get swarmed, pick a hair loss forum or one of the those subs on reddit and say something like "you know, DHT is actually important in grown ass men". They will be like piranhas on a cow, man.

BTW, I think I'm going to try applying one dose a day to the scrote. I did this morning, no differences noted yet, except maybe, I dunno...

CYLON SMASH!!! AARRGH!!

No, not really. BTW, remember the movie "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds and others? The "bat wing" thing? Yeah, thats how I applied it.
