1st lab in:doc wants to increase test

[--->>405<<---]

i tried but didnt get a clear answer.. he was in a hurry cuz he had another patient.. he mentioned something about it being in the optimal range for a 21yr old.. but according to labcorps highest normal for a 21 yr old is 26.5pg/ml so i dunno man??? i suppose he just wants me jacked up? next time i talk to him ill try and find out better but it may be a little while...

Bring that e2 down and you will be golden... Total and free.

Do you supplement dhea????

[--->>405<<---]

Yeh 50mg/day...

[flatscat]

Well.... U gonna back off that?

[--->>405<<---]

back off the DHEA?? i hadnt planned on it and doc actually askd me how much i was takn and told me to take both(25mg/pill) in the am ..

why? should i be backing off it?

Again.... Ranges so grain of salt and personal preference... But some may say not that great to be at the high range on that one when you are over abduction high range with your t numbers just a thought brother

[--->>405<<---]

Hey man i appreciate any and all info u can give me.. Dhea i know nutn about.. Doc says take it so i take it this abduction thing? What is that?

And also my numbers on my current BW on page 1 of this thread have my numvers still within normal range.. That was with 200mg/week dose.. Now my dosage is 160/week.. Now i realise that my E2 is 63 so when it drops down my test will likely go up rite? And r u speculating that itll go up above the high range and thats why i should think about dhea dosage? thx...

*and

Kinda like numvvver lol

[--->>405<<---]

U lost me dude.. I saw numver but figd ud fig it out so left it. just trying to find out about dhea since numBers r still in normal range ...

Brother my auto correct kicked in. Shoulda been "and". sorry

Yes i would expect your free t to increase as your e2 goes down.

I just don't think there is a good reason to keep supplementing with your dhea numbers at the level they are.

Gotta run but will follow up on my comments later.

Surely there are more opinions out there as well.

Sorry so long to get back. Google dhea and e2 conversion. There are studies that discuss this. Imo, your e2 number may being effected to a degree by your dhea levels. You may consider dropping the added dhea while you bring your e2 numbers down with the adex and lower your t dose. Then see where you are when retested and how you feel. Again, this is what i would do if it were me. but you should research it and make your own informed decision.
