Got my Free and total T checked with DHEA

[GoneForever]

Been on HRT for some time now. I always just guessed that 150mg of cyp and 250-500iu hcg weekly is what i needed along with 100mg dhea daily. I knew I needed hrt but didnt have the time or $$ to go through the doc for it, so I figured i'd play it safe and stick on the lower side. Anyway i just got bloodwork to see where im at and its near perfect.

Total test range 240-827 and I tested at 763
Free test range 9-26 and I tested at 28
Dhea range 280-640 and i tested at 675


I kinda wishd my total test would have been a tad higher but I guess free test is much more important correct? Anyway, I feel good about these numbers b/c I can still hold a lot of size and strenght and still be healthy.

Didnt get hdl or ldl tested. Got them done about 6months ago and they were perfect when my diet was perfect. When I start eating worse they both suffer, but on a perfectly clean diet around 6months ago I was on the same stuff and they were both good. Also, you dont need dhea if on test, but my natty dhea levels were low. About 50points lower than the bottom of the scale. Now, I take a time released dhea thats 6-8hrs released. I take 50mg in the morning and 50 at night. So when I got the bloodtest done I hadnt taken any dhea for a good 14-16hrs and it still tested good. Think I should back the dose to 75mg daily instead of 100?
