Bloodwork after stopping DHT
-
As some of you know from my posts, from around May to mid-August i was blasting DHT, via various routes of administration. The most i took was 200mg/day for a week sublingually, but throughout i was also using 50-100mg topically as well as 100mg orally (in milk). I went off DHT around end of August cold turkey and got bloodwork mid-October.
Total T: 596 ng/dL
DHT: 44 ng/dL
SHBG: 17.5 nmol/L
FSH: 6.27 mIU/mlUnfortunately the lab didn't test LH for some reason even though i requested it.
To be honest i expected DHT to be higher since it supposedly upregulates its own synthesis, but also because it really felt like the effects i got did not go away after stopping. It could be that DHT upregulates androgen receptor expression so that lower levels have the same effect. -
do you feel any different since stopping?

@yeyo12 Yes but not very different. It's as if the effects are semi-permanent because most of them are still there, like reduced estrogen, confidence, sociability.
Btw to clarify i just stopped to get a blood test, i didn't experience any negative side effects from it.

@pannacottas thank you.
what would be your ideal dosage? transdermal, with your solution. (just ordered)
what body part and how many times a day of application? thank you!

@yeyo12 I used to do mostly forearms, but now i do delts/upper arm. 1ml, half and half on each shoulder and it works well. Started again to do another blood test but on DHT this time.
