12 week BW TRT - Need Help

[Youthful55guy]

Thanks for the input. My ALT has been high for the last year and I do not take anything at all which may elevate it. Also I may consider taking a very small dose of an AI seeing my E2 is higher and prolactin.


My biggest concern is my DHEA which may be the reason why I have been having so much difficulties with everything lately. My sulfate is fine but my serum is through the rough... should I be concern?

Also RT3 was at 30 now it’s at 28... still high but slowly going down.

ALT and other liver enzymes can be affected by many things. The most common are OTC analgesics, some antidepressants, alcohol, and even exercise. Give that it's the only liver enzyme out of range and it's not that far out of range, I would not be overly concerned.

I saw the serum DHEA. Not sure what to make of it, as it's not commonly measured. Usually it's DHEA-s that's measured. Are you taking supplemental DHEA? The obvious advice if you are is to lower the dose. Not sure what else to tell you except dos some research on the internet. I'd be interested in knowing what you come up with.

I didn't see the RT3 lab. It's not one that I'd be overly concerned with. It often goes up when you cut calories drastically and/or up your exercise. It's a natural response by the body to conserve fat by lowering your metabolism. The fact that it is going down is good. I'd say, just keep monitoring it.

Per my previous post a small dose of anastrozole may be warranted to bring E down. Lowering the T dose too will also help to bring it down and to bring the Free T into range. Personally, I'd increase the frequency and lower the dose of T to work on both hormones at the same time. You mentioned prolactin. I don't recall your prolactin numbers, but I don't think anastrozole will have any impact on it.
