Guest guest Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 For me I don't do great at them levels for sec hormones I do much better over 800. You are lucky I could not get numbers that high on 10 grams of gel. I would add in HCG doing 250 IU's every 3 days this will get your testis working there best. Have you ever tested your DHT levels on gels they can go up very high. Mine were 3x's above the top of the range. You might try 7.5 see if you feel better. Are you taking DHEA supplements to much DHEA can turn into Estradiol.
