Ok, so my DHT is crazy, but I decided just to live with it atp.
Hard to tell why it is like that, because my ACTH, 17-OHP, Cortisol, Aldosterone, Androstenedione, 3a-diol are all near low reference and DHEA-S is somehow even lower than month ago. Also, I've no clue why prolactin didn't affect anything, as well as where it came from.
Overall, I feel good, my hair doesn't fall out, skin is good, bobs are sensitive, fat is redistributed well, all even considering very high SHBG. The only downsides are more sebum on scalp (especially on forehead) and hair is kinda coarse and less soft, which makes the texture a bit weird.
DHT, tho, is definitely there, but finding out what causes it is (IMO) not worth it for me atp. I guess it's either one of CAH variations, or sort of DHT inactivation issue like 3a-HSD deficiency, or its inhibition by bile acids. I honesly blame the bile acids, because noticing some short-lived scalp inflammation from time to time when my diet is too high on fats and hair getting worse too. Regardless, even if its CAH, I have no way of treating it, because my tolerance to corticosteroids is just no bueno. Gonna just reduce my E dose a lil bit and... well, just move on with my worthless DHT mutant life.

Holy sh*t we're both heavy dht mutants. You also have high shbg, I rly wonder if they have something in common. My dht started to spike after my shbg increased. Would be good to reduce e2 anyways(to like 300 pg/ml at trough). I did that too( I hate that breast are even more sore ever since I lowered e2). Btw you have same e2 at trough as me lol.

I rly wonder if the issue is a compensation of our body against very low T. Like your free T must be very low with that shbg and total T

Life is sh*t, and hormones even more so. When you understand that taking pills, cutting yourself, or committing suicide is the best option, you'll understand everything.

Life sucks, when you have a masculine body and face being trans, you see people with changes even having bad levels, your family is dysfunctional and as if you had no family, the love of your life leaves you, society hates you and the only thing you have to escape from reality is to cry and do things to self-harm, you realize that life really is not worth it ✌planning suicide day soon, how exciting!

No you are not gonna die but you have chances of getting upregulation the longer you keep those levels. It took me one year of high e2(not even that high tho) to my body to spike SHBG and increase DHT, so if I were you I would stay safe and lower estradiol to 300 pg/ml at trough, it will be better for the long term.

Yes prolactin is still high, but that's normal with that high e2 and you also stopped CPA not too long ago. After 3 months of stopping CPA I still had high prolactin. Took 5-6 months to my prolactin to get low.
