More Tests (inc. DHT)

[nopecia]

Paid for more tests today, for the hormones the NHS wouldn’t cover.

Cost me £129 for these three:

Dihydrotestosterone (commonly abbreviated to DHT)
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Oestradiol

Should have the results in a week so I’ll update then. Apparently DHT is the most important, so we’ll see what it reads and I’ll go from there.

nopecia, your DHT will probably show low to normal, the problem is with the 5AR enzymes, they have functions, without them those functions stop, DHT is the byproduct of those enzymes. I had my DHT tested and I think it was normal, my HRT doctor was rather over my complaints at that point and quickly looked through it.
