I been trying to figure out if it's SHBG or estrogen that's killed my libido...test level 14.1nmol, free test 1.42%, estrogen 145pmol, SHBG 39nmol. Cortisol 295nmol...11.20am blood test.
 
Blades you put this post in the Fitness Exersize and Supplements forum. Are you looking for something to take to get your libido back based on some of your blood work?

I'm in a similar situation. Even supplementing with test boosters from retail stores seemed to have a better effect on my libido. Gonna be watching this thread for some info on what could be driving my libido down.
 
It would be nice to see your full labs with ranges. Your SHBG looks good at 39nmol, so my guess would be is estradiol levels? Did you get the right sensitive estradiol test for men.

I moved the thread.

I was tested for E2 if that's the right sensitive test to do, it says on my paperwork my E2 is 145pmol/L and that was just one of top limit judging by what's on the paper, on lookong at my paperwork my SHBG is 46 not 39...test was 14.1 uk 406 usa, free was around 1.42%, cortisol 295..bloods done at 11.20am

With LabCorp the sensitivity test the range is 8.0 - 35.0 pg/mL
 
The range on oestradiol upper marker is 146pmol on paperwork mine like I say was 145pmol, doctor didn't even say it was at the upper limit, although he did mention my cortisol was lowish at 295 and that was bang in the middle of range, some nhs doctors are just not interested in helping.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
