    New Bloodwork After 2 Months on Pregnenolone, B Vitamins and no A.I.

    Thanks Re-RIde. I had moodiness, fatigue, low libido and a general feeling of something not going right. I also had lowish cholesterol, cortisol and ACTH and thats how I figured that something might be going on with my adrenals. I reasearched about adrenal fatigue in this forum and drlam.com and...

    New Bloodwork After 2 Months on Pregnenolone, B Vitamins and no A.I.

    So long story short, after my last bloodwork I realised that I probably had adrenal issues that had to be addressed. My cortisol was lowish, progesterone was low and so was DHEAS. I felt tired, irritated and I was considering coming off TRT. I crashed my E2 like 4 times this year, mostly because...

    Bloodwork For Low Libido

    Last time I checked, prolactin was 4ng/ml (ref: 2.8-11). I've seen it at 7 in other bloodwork though. Tyrosine gives me energy at 1.5 gr per day but doesnt raise my libido much. I tested for serotonin a year ago and it was 85 ng/ml (ref:40-400) but I didnt supplement because I read that it...

    Bloodwork For Low Libido

    So as the title says, I suffer from low libido. My protocol is 120mg split into two injections. I was taking arimidex but it made crash like 5 times so I quit about a month and a half ago and so far I feel fine. Apart from libido, TRT has been great for me and gave me more energy, aggression...

    Here's a scary thought: Long term LH suppression on TRT- What are the effects?

    I had adrenal issues since before I started TRT and I spent almost 3 years wondering why I wasn't feeling 100% even on TRT. I was only looking at my Testosterone and E2 numbers and failed to see that my adrenals were not working propely. A month ago that I started supplementing with b vitamins...

    Here's a scary thought: Long term LH suppression on TRT- What are the effects?

    Yes and I think its because, just like my friend, there are a lot of guys who just started doing TRT and never looked back. Why split the injections or do anything else if you are feeling great? I also split my dose by the way.

    Here's a scary thought: Long term LH suppression on TRT- What are the effects?

    He had the usual symptoms, low energy and sex drive, low motivation e.t.c. I recall he had the symptoms for a couple of years before he checked his hormones.

    Here's a scary thought: Long term LH suppression on TRT- What are the effects?

    One of my best friends got on TRT 12 years ago. He was 30, he went to the doctor and his T was something like 400. He started doing weekly injections and never looked back. No dose micromanagment, no AI, no nothing. He feels awesome anf gets laid like a madman. He really knows very little about...

    My Everlasting Battle With E2

    Hey mate thanks for the info. I've read your posts about low E2 etc. I havent taken any arimidex since last Thursday so it's been a week. My energy levels were good the whole week except today that I feel kinda sleepy but maybe thats just coincidental. One think I noticed is that my erections...

    My Everlasting Battle With E2

    I havent taken any A.I. since last Thursday so its been almost 5 days. I am feeling kinda better libido-wise but I also took some tyrosine so I don't know if that played a part in anything. Energy levels are fine, my nipples are kinda puffy but I think its better than yesterday. I really hope I...

    My Everlasting Battle With E2

    Hey Vince, "Because of your young age, I wonder what would happen if you did not treat your estradiol levels." Can you elaborate a little bit on that please?

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.
