    ED/low libido even with TRT

    I had another estrogen/estriol test. it was 49.7 pg/ml High, but probably not high enough to cause ED considering total T is 770 at trough @BadassBlues Per your advice. I started 500 mg L Tyrosine per day taken on empty stomach in morning. What is the theory of adding B6? And how much B6? Thank you

    ED/low libido even with TRT

    I’m 44. My prolactin was checked prior to trt and it was 8. Lower middle of range. I might try to lower hcg. But that’s likely not the cause as I had this going on before hcg No depression meds. The test was estridol and yes it’s higher than pre trt. Which was in the 20s. I just took another...

    new labs inside. 6 months on trt

    Blood pressure before donating my first time last week was 126/86. So no big deal. The blood draw people gave me their hemoglobin test and it came in at 17.1 But it was a quick test, so don't know how accurate. I gave one unit of whole blood. Took another hematocrit test the next week and it was...

    labs after 1.5 months on TRT injections

    @Systemlord No. As mentioned. I drank normally, I was aware enough to not go in too dehydrated, or over hydrate. To get hopefully accurate results.

    labs after 1.5 months on TRT injections

    @Systemlord thank you. Do you know how we can calculate peak levels from a measured trough? Or do peak levels even matter? Also, do you know when hematocrit, usually peaks after starting TRT? It came in at 47 this time 1.5 months in. Pre TRT I was usually between 44-45. Obviously how hyrdrated...

    You're past fertility concerns; do you take T alone or add HCG?

    I just starting on injections and declined HCG at the start, just to get a feel for Test only. If you start with two drugs, you really don't know what effect each is giving. i'm only 42. I'll add in the future if needed.

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.
