Correct. I believe after stopping fin, the body is then able to produce DHT and we are flooded. This coincides with the good feeling 10 to 14 days after stopping but then our receptors are overwhelmed & either killed off or down regulated. Since ppl have had brief spurts of normalcy by doing different products including going back on fin, it was my belief that the AR were down regulated. This is why ppl’s blood tests show normal hormone levels like DHt, but it sits there stagnant and our bodies are unreceptive to it.
Since I wouldn’t risk going back on fin, or trying a saw palmetto for a similar flush of dht and hence up regulation, I decided to put myself in a Low T state. Not enough testosterone to be comfortable on, and wait for my body to up regulate naturally. By starving my body of testosterone and it’s sister hormones estrogen and dht, I’m up regulating somewhat naturally.
Only time will tell if this sticks when I’m finally off but I started on 3/11 and plan minimum of 6 months.
The signs are promising and I seemed to improve about weekly. Lately not so much major improvements but I’m holding on to this.
we have people with very low T and DHT also, and low estrogen / and we have people with high t and high dht. and high prolactin.
How do you get yourself in a low T state?
You are taking testosterone in already low testosterone state. And take progesterone which I told you to add.
Taking testosterone does not shut you down in low testosterone state
Just imagine, you have sensitive receptors. And the body shut down the LH.
Now you have lowish test, normal lowish Dht and low estrogen.
So your goal is to downregulate the receptor.
how would you go about it.
You can take low test so it does not convert much into estrogen, since if you take too much test, it will convert into estrogen and will upregulate the AR receptor.
You can also take test with AI. So this does not convert into estrogen and downregulates you AR receptor.
if you take too much testosterone without AI, then it will upregulate your receptor since a lot of it will go into estrogen.
I would assume if receptors were not sensitive, then LH will be high. trying to pump stuff constantly. Like what you get on clomid, which blocks Estrogen receptors.
Same as blocker. of AR receptor will causes also increased LH. I would assume
This is the same as people restored just on AI> you take AI for a while and that will downregulate your AR receptors. You feel like total garbage on AI, but when you come off, your AR receptors will be downregulated.
