I have top of the charts free T (154 on scale of 35-155 Quest), middle of the road total T (494 on scale of 250-1100), increasing DHT (96 scale of 25-75) and increasing E2 (41 scale of 13-54). Progesterone is .6 on scale of .1 - 1.2.

My treatment is 100mg of compounded T cream with 25mg preg and 5mg DHEA compounded in as well. If I INCREASE my preg to 50mg, you think I could lower my DHT and my E2?
Saw my doc yesterday. We're keeping the T cream at 100mg but we're separating it out from the rest of the cocktail due to some anecdotal evidence of T being hampered by the other ingredients. We're also cutting out the HCG completely in part due to skyrocketing DHT and E2.

New regimen is:
100mg of compounded T cream
25mg of progesterone and 10mg of DHEA compounded cream. Thinking is progesterone can inhibit DHT and some E2 formation.
50mcg (micrograms) of Arimidex daily for high E2. There are some reports of daily small amounts being very effective and my new pharm can compound the Arimidex.

We're also changing compounding pharms from one here in Spokane to a Calif outfit. My doc has had some patients that have had less than predicted results w/some of the elixirs coming from there. Full retest in 3 weeks.
