I haven't taken any new meds.

Do you have a difficulty achieving an orgasm or dull orgasms?

I'm sorry I'm not a native speaker. The amount of sperm I produce when I have an orgasm is very low since I started TRT.

I'm 30 years old. I can't post my full labs cause I'm from Greece and the values are in greek so tell me what you want to know and I'll post it. What other issues you think I have?

So since I started TRT my LH and FSH crashed hard. Despite the fact that I don't have any considerable testicular shrinkage my sperm volume has decreased immensely, maybe even by 80% per cent. Also sometimes I find it difficult to orgasm and when I have sex or masturbate even the smallest amount...

Thanks for the help brother. Got any idea on what s going on with my FT and my SHBG?

These are the rest of my results frim the last time, I wasnt using anu AI and E2 was 65 (20-71)

I'll post everything on Friday when I'll have all my tests. I really hope the value is wrong cause this makes no sense.

I spoke with my doctor and he said that the combination of high TT,low FT and high E2 can be seen only if SHGB is high and told me to wait for the rest of the results. I haven't found anybody other case like mine on the internet so I really have no idea on what to do next

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to find a protocol I can stick with, I know I made a lot of unecessary changes. Could my low FT be attributed to high Estrogen? As far as I can understand high E2 causes that to some people.

So if I dont take an AI how will I lower my E2 and raise my FT? I can wait like you suggest but for what? E2 was high on my previous tests and FT was also mid range so I don't have a reason to believe that anything will change untill my next bloodwork.

My libido is down for sure and had no morning or night time erections for the last 3 days. Other than that I feel OK I guess, much better than last week. Yes the range is 300-1200. What troubles me the most is my lowish FT. Guys with low SHGB have high TT,high FT and high Estrogen so why is mine...

Vince I live abroad and sensitive estadiol test is not an option

So I got some of my results back, I'll have them all by friday . Blood was drawn 72 hours after my 70 mg injection. TT 1100 (3-12) FT 19 (8-54) E2 65 (20-71) DHT 780 (250-990) Thats all i got for now. Seems like I convert a lot of test to E2 and that lowers my FT probably. My DHT is in perfect...

So its been 10 days since the last time I took Arimidex and I feel 70 % better. It definetely seem like I crashed my E2. I'm waiting for my test results, I'll probably have them by friday. Tommorow I an getting my 70 mg shot (protocol is 70mg twice per week). Should I start taking Arimidex at...

Thanks for the reply brother, should I quit the AI for now? I've already arranged to do bloodwork next friday

Ranges are TT 1400 (300-1200) FT 22 (8-54) SHGB 21.5 (20-64) E2 81(20-71) Protocol was 140mg test split into 2 injections with 0.5 mg Arimidex the day of each injections. I would add 0.25mg depending on how I felt. New protocol would be 100 mg split into 2 injections and the same amount of...

I split my dose into two injections. I stayed on 140 mg of test for about 6 months and decided recently to lower it even further.The lab results I posted were 2 days after my 90 mg shot. A total of 180 mg was too high for me so I reduced it to 140

So as I posted before I started TRT a year ago at 180mg of test and no AI and lowish SHGB (21). My first labs showed that my TT was 1400 and my FT was mid range, possibly due to my elevated E2 (81). I reduced my dose to 140 mg of test and 1-1.25 mg Arimidex per week. I decided to lower my...

I've been taking metformin for the past 5 days. I've got some stomach cramps but they are managable. The worst thing is that is seems to kill my appetite. It must be great for people on a diet. I take 1000 mg per day and i'm planning to increase the dosage to 1500 like my doc said. I hope my...

How did you control it? My doc have me metformin and said that it will help

I'm gonna start with 20mg ed and I'll do subcutaneus injections and see how that goes. Boy, I'm glad I found this forum you guys have been great. I'll post my next results

Yes I had an MRI right before I started TRT and it came back clean. Thanks for the help brother, you and the guys have been very helpful and informative.

I an on a low carb diet too so carbs are probably not the cause of my problem. My doc seemed quite certain that my low SHGB is cause by my insulin levels. I'm starting metformin and I'll see how that goes. TRT has been good to me so far but these are issues I should adress immediately.

Actually I just came back from the doc who told me the same thing. He perscribed metformin and told me tihs might correct my SHGB too

How do you feel with this protocol in terms of libido and mental focus?Is your E2 under control?

Yes I fasted for 12 hours. My TT was high but when I wasn't using anastrozole my FT was mid range. My doc said it was due to my high e2. On the other hand my DHT was 850 (350-970) which was suprizingly high. I was thinking that I should change my protocol completly and do subcutaneous injections...

My e2 was 25 the last time I checked. My E2 spikes because my SHGB is low. When I was on 180 mg of test without an AI my TT was 1400 and my e2 was 84 (20-71). So now I take half a pill the day I inject my dose and 0.25 in between dosages. Sometimes I feel my e2 goes lower than it should and I...

No I didn't. These are the only tests I did apart from the usual (test,e2 e.t.c.). Do these results indicate pre-diabetes?

Thanks for the info man, I appreciate it.

I tested my cortisol in the morning, should I test it in the afternoon too?
