Ok, you all advised me that HRT sized doses will probably mean 1 step foreward, 2 steps back, so do a real cycle or don't dabble at all. I've got some new info which tho which I want to run past ya.
Had a couple blood tests done, and the most recent showed:
Test - 15.5 in a range of 9.9-27.8 or
0-100, I'm 31SHBG - 30 in a range of 15-45 or
0-100, I'm 50Free Test - 338 in a range of 260-740 or
0-100, I'm 16Salivary Test - <.07 in a range of .5-1.2 or
0-100, Im -61!?! WTF?DHEAS - 5.8 in a range of 4.34 - 12.2 or
0-100, I'm 18These numbers differ from the first bloodwork which showed higher than middle of the range test production, very high SHBGs, and also lower than average free test.
The doc told me I have "adrenal fatigue." Basiclly, my adrenal system is burned out (low test maybe a carry over from low DHEA production?).
Since my numbers are so low, do you guys still think HRT sized doses would do more harm than good, or would I get enough benefits to justify short term use (under 12 months)? Doc says he'll give me what it takes to get me into the upper end of the range, which I suspect would be like a whole other world. Basically, I'm very tempted.
I'm 34 tho, and not staying on HRT forever, so I don't want any disasters when I come off. I'll ask the doc about HCG and whatever else you reckon on Mon.
Trab - I know you're gonna tell me off for this
, but I wanted to show ya these numbers.
