The cream used should be compounded using a vanishing cream base. The cream needs to be applied on thin hairless skin, such as the inner forearms or inner bicep. Applying the cream to thicker skin as you mentioned above will slow down absorption too much, and you will only feel the T much later in the day or evening. It’s good you switched from PLO, because it is not a good base for HRT.
I don’t know what your dosage of T Cream was, but it looks like you have a high DHT conversion. The higher DHT will inhibit your LH production via the HPTA, which will cause you to have lower T levels as well as will account for your lower progesterone. LH stimulates the production of pregnenolone and pregnenolone converts to progesterone.
Since you have a high DHT conversion, you would not be a candidate for doing T Cream solo. What you can do, which is what I do, is to take a very small dosage of T Cream which will give you a nice DHT level, and then use a small dose of HCG (100iu per day every day) to raise your T levels.
This is what I do:
100iu HCG subq every day in AM (APP Brand)
25mg T Cream every day in AM as described above
10mg pregnenolone every day in AM on empty stomach with salted water
5mg Hydrocortisone every day in AM on empty stomach with salted water
25mg DHEA every day in AM after breakfast with something oily
These labs were done 3 hours after HCG shot and T Cream:
Total T 611 241-827
Free T 212 34-194
Free and weakly bound T 428 84-402
Albumin 4.4 3.6-5.1
SHBG 15 8-46
Estradiol 31 13-54
Progesterone 1.1 <1.4
Results 3 hours after 100 mgs of 10% creame in plo gel I stopped armidex, hcg, dim, for 3 months just the cream so this is "baseline reading" Why my dr had me do it i did not know it was living hell going from
When I was in my glory !! feeling like a real man
250 ius of hcg EOD
.5 armidex m,th
50 mgs of t creame daily
results after 3 hours blood drawn
total test 307
free test weekly bounded 124 (84-402)
shbg 38 (5-49)
albumin 4.7 3.7-5.1
estrodial 19 10-50
progesterone .6 <1.4 was 1.2 !!
dhea-s 97 (110-397)
lh 2.1 1.9-9.0 THIS IS WHERE I THINK HCG IS WILL HELP
preg 20 (0-200)
Lp(a) 112 <75 indication of FISH OILS NEEDED, and e/test, dhea ratio out of wack
Doing now
12.5 mgs DHEA sprays
5 mgs cortef with 1/2 tsp sea salts morning and then 5 mgs lunch, and dinner
25 mcgs t-3 (wilsons syndrome)
100 mgs t creame once daily
NO HCG, TMG 1000 mgs BID,
I have an idea what needs to be done I did HCG 250 ius EOD, 5 grams t creame, .5 mgs armidex every 3 days with this combo i had morning erections shaving every other day vs once every 2 freaken weeks NOW. gained 15 lbs in 2 weeks of solid muscle and bench shot up from 245 to 315 for 6, but I want dr john to tell me him self .
So does dht drive progesterone in to the ground and will progesterone keep the dht in check? So hcg can actually lower the dht and free up more testosterone and total T. So the DHT and not estrogen is sending the feed back loop to shut down the LH and to lower the progesterone and could also explain my low pregenolone, and dhea-s levels because the DHT is causing LH to drop causing progesterone and prengenone as well plus my own testosterone production. Does this makes sense?
I have an idea my 2:16alpha-Hydroxyestrone ratio are out of wack due to decreases consumption of fish oils which could also lower the SHBG as well. I stopped all fish oils because of an imbalance of EPA/AA ratio now i think that needs to be checked. I think I have too much AA and not enough EPA could explain the rise in shbg with normal estrodial levels but the esterone levels are elevates (urine test will pick that up)
How much fish oils like 1 TSP BID a day?
I know what needs to be done but I kept things stable even though so when I consult with dr john there are no errors or bumps so to speak. Before consulting with Dr john I am going to get a urine test from rhine so we can have all that data together all proper information is needed
Here is my theory when first taking the creame I had no problems but at the same time I was only 2-3 months into correcting the low AA levels , but stopping the fish oils for 4 months. I felt really great and on top od the world then about 2 months later I felt like crap no gains and depressed despite all same varaibles. Even though my estrodial has always been in check I think my 2:16alpha-Hydroxyestrone ratio was shifting to more bad:good and that my abiltiy to metabolis estrogen was being altered and i already had improper e/t ratio for the longest time. So due to the altered ratios of 2:16alpha-Hydroxyestrone I was increasing total estrogen and flooding the receptors sites which was driving free progesterone levels into the ground as well as increasing the DHT to test conversion causing suppression of the LH levels resulting in low progesterone/ dhea/ testosterone levels elevated dht/estrogen/shbg So adding fish oils will help to rebalance this 2:16alpha-Hydroxyestrone ratio restabilizing proper estrogen metabolism and lower the DH/estrogen and increasing the progesterioen/dhea/testosterone.
