To begin with I must say, if wasn’t for T-Nation I would be in a very bad spot now. I am a 37 y.o Male from Brazil, I do suffer from Hipogonadism,Low T, my levels by December last year were down to the 200’s ( One Cicle of 4 week in my early 20’s that’s it )Never took anything else since that time. … Without going to deep on a subject that has been read and written countless times, let me go right away to my problem.
I wasn’t doing well until I got in tune with 200mg o Test Cypionate a week + HCG 250ui EOD. My TRT really started in Mid February, after I decided to care for my self instead of fighting with Doctors all over…
When I first went to the Doc and got myself some " Testosterone" In Late November 2014, in which was prescribed 200mg every 30 days, or every 20 days… ( I know this happens all over,) I decided to follow what felt right for me, with another Doctor whose helped me with 200mg per week.
Mid May, my Doctor, told me I need to Trim down a bit, in order to look a bit more " defined " I swear to all GODS of Old, he suggested me Anavar… without me asking for it …
I felt , what the heck lets do it, I can see myself losing some fat, i did like a lot, but nothing I couldn’t live without, Latter came next visit, why not some PRIMOBOLAN , I said Super ! Guys I am NOT messing around, he’s a cool guy ans was the one who plant the " seed " on my head …
All I wanted was to get more Testosterone written down to me,so I could save it for the year… Anyhow … He always had something new to me…
Then I was on 60 MG of Anavar every workout day, 5 times a week, plus 400mg of Primo twice a week ( Pharma grade injectable ), and up my dosage to 400mg of test twice a week + 250 ui of HCG …
Than all the Acne started to go crazy !!! … I decided to cut off 100% the Anavar, and went back to my 200mg of Test , Every 3 days 100mg ( 200mg per week )Before I was on 200mg single shoot per week, and honestly wasn’t felling the Ups and downs, ( just Acne ), also cutoff HCG as well… ( not felling as good without it as i did while on HCG ) …
I am Still on Primo as the idea was to go on for 20 weeks, currently on week 6 on Primo.( But I really care not, I can come off now as I ratter have no Acne, and keep my hair )
Funny thing is, I got a hair cut, after years of being a long haired dude, and noticed a " fail " spot on the back ( Crown ) … I don’t recall it being there … I does not look I am going bald, I think I may be thinning down a bit, but not much … But it already got me concerned enough …
So I went ahead and had another blood drawn, this time for the first time took a DHT level, as follows bellow.
TOTAL T - 1043 ng/dl ( lab reference 241 - 827 ng/dl )
17 BETA-ESTRADIOL - 18.7 ng/dl ( lab reference MAX- ADULT 39.8 ng/dl )
DHT - 1366.2 pg/ml ( lab reference 250 - 990 pg/ml )
So clearly I am way too high on DHT ,I was taking Arimidex to lower my previous E2 exam which was over 64 ng/dl about a month back,( I told 1 mg EOD maybe way too much ) now following advice’s here I will do 0,50 twice a week with the shots, as i noticed my erections are not that strong any longer… ( maybe due to no HCG as well?)
I really need a help, I just bought some Finesteride, to lower my DHT, but reading a lot , I became concern it may do more harm than good, i am taking 7Grams of B5 daily it seemed to help a lot, But not completely …
Guys what should i do to lower my DHT ?
Am I, over concerning myself with it ?
The T- replacement has being a Miracle in my life, I was down ans depressed big time, now I fell like, I can conquer the world ( At least my little corner of the universe ) And Hope I can continue with it…
Hope anyone could help me… as I totally lost now
Cheers from Brazil !
