TRT and increased amount of injuries

[Albiedamned]

Wow it just occurred to me that I should request a dhea level next set of labs as I'm on biweekly Hcg AND taking an oral dhea in my daily supplements/vitamins. May be doing overkill but if I don't test it I won't know now will I?

Or just take HCG. I've done both the micronized DHEA/Pregnenolone and HCG. While I didn't find a panel that covers pregnenolone, my DHEA was much higher on HCG.

I'm currently taking 500iu HCG SubQ twice a week - so this will be equally as good if not better than pregnenolone?

Yes, I'd definitely get it checked. You certainly might be able to cut out the oral - saving some money.

I think HCG is superior in this regard. Leutinizing hormone is a trigger used by the body to convert pregnenolone, which HCG mimics in spades. If you can get it tested, that would be optimal, but you can also always just see how you feel by adding the oral too.

Not quite as scientific, but there is much to be said for quality of life being a good indication of balanced hormones.

Thanks fellas... I think I'll order some, try both for a period of time and make a comparison.

Unfortunately (as you know HW) - blood testing here in the UK isn't so easy... I'll have to wait a few months until my scheduled draw through my doctor, and ask him to include dhea.

Is 50mg Micronized Pregnenolone (veggie capsules) a sufficient daily dosage?

For what it is worth, I tried DHEA and Pregnenolone for a while on TRT. I was not on hCG at the time. I didn't notice any difference whatsoever other than a lighter wallet.

Thanks for your honesty!

Yeah, I know - and fear that we're headed the same direction here on this side of the pond. Yup, 50mg is what I took of the pregnenolone ED.

Let us know how it goes!

OK, so I'm on Day 4 of pregnenolone use @50mg a day.

No increase in libido as such but I am noticing sides of insomnia and nightime anxiety (probably related to the insomnia)

Are these common sides with this compound?

I googled it, and although it is mentioned, it doesn't stand out as a common occurrence amongst users.

Thought I'd quiz you guys....

UPDATE: I've founding taking the Pregnenolone as soon as I wake, it doesn't appear to trouble my sleep so much...

I'll stick with it for now.
