Bloodwork after stopping DHT
-
@pannacottas Any body hair growth when doing topical on arms/shoulders? I don't want
-
@albion Not really, only some on the upper chest which i don't mind
-
@pannacottas Do you have any bloodwork from before you started DHT?
-
@Hollowed Yes i have some but from beginning of 2023 and i hadn't told my doctor any specific tests i wanted, so i did a generic hormone panel. The only relevant tests:
FSH: 6.27 mIU/mL
LH: 5.3 mIU/mL
Total T: 963.1 ng/dL
DHEA-S: 428.2 μg/dL -
Did you get any bloodwork while taking DHT? I'm curious about the effectiveness of each of the routes of administration but never got around to doing any tests myself.
-
@pannacottas permanent that sounds great but elaborate I do not understand how that would be possible.
-
How much were you taking trans dermally? Most people I talk to seem to be taking <5mg, would that be enough.
-
@Crypt-Keeper I was planning to but i've been too busy lately. I will get it done this month probably as i found a cheap lab
-
@gg12 Not completely permanent. I mean that some of the effects i got, especially the mental ones, persisted even after stopping for like 1-2 months. Which could suggest that DHT antagonizes the stress hormones and positively affects neurosteroid balance powerfully enough that it helps the body have greater general tolerance to stressors and shift it to a healthier metabolic state, sort of like an actoprotector.

@PrinceTrebata Transdermally 50mg most of the time because it is 1ml of my solution / a full dropper.
I get effects from less than that but sub 5mg might be too little for topical.
