Attached is my labs prior to clomid. Hmm so you think the Zuclomiphene aspect of clomid prevents AI's from driving down the E2? What was your dosing protocol of clomid? I am going to go with 12.5mg/EOD as Vince suggested as I think my Doc's current protocol with 50mg 3x/week is just too much for...

Vince, thank you very much for your reply. So do you think that the lower dose clomid will have less of an affect on raising my estrogen and SHBG? I have plenty of free test so I am not sure why i am having these issues. So are you also saying .5mg/week of Arimidex is not enough to lower the...

I gotcha. Well my free test is very high and E2 just above the upper range as with SHBG. I might just not respond well to high E2

Why do guys get low libido on clomid.

Did you get on an AI? What dosage and how did it work out for you? How long did it take to work?

28 yr old male, 5'10" 160 lean athletic build On 50mg Clomid 3x/week Armour Thyroid 45mg ED Endo just put me on Anastrazole .5mg 1x/week I've been experiencing basically no sexual arousal or interest in sex almost all the time, thus I can barely get or maintain an erection as the arousal and...

Thanks I will give it a go and report back!

Well I don't have a gf so ideally i would see different partners but with the way my penis is performing I haven't been anyone in quite some time which I'm sure cant' be helpful to my cause. I'm fairly convinced its a neurotransmitter imbalance as my levels are ideal, i'm still young, i'm low...

Awesome thank you sir! Yes, taking caber was a mistake probably but I was desperate to try to raise dopamine. I have tried PT-141 and i got no response, and I've got no response from PDE5 inhibitors but I will try low daily dosing it. What dosage is normal for daily consumption? Why would...

Thank you Nelson, Prolactin was originally 5.1 on a range of 4.0-15. I took it to try to raise dopamine levels as I was under the assumption my sexual dysfunction was due to low dopamine (i had most all of the symptoms) but caber really didnt affect my dopamine at all but lowered prolactin...

Ok how would I go about re-establishing prolactin levels?

How do you raise prolactin? I was taking Caber @ .25mg/twice a week to try to raise dopamine levels. I will cease the caber and see how it works.

Why does low prolactin= low libido? I thought low libido is associated with high prolactin. Because my prolactin is low my dopamine should be quite high as they are inverse.

Hello, So i've been struggling with low libido for quite some time. Did some bloodwork and everything is good level wise but my energy, motivation and libido levels are just not there. What other factors could govern these issues preventing me from getting proper sexual function? E2: 31.4 pg/ml...

1Draw, I agree the more I look into the issue. The T4 is just not converting to T3. I think instead of trying to "dial in" my thyroid treatment by incorporating synthetic T3 ( don't even know if my doc will go for it) I am going to use Thyroid and Adrenal support by 1 Body.

Thanks Vince, I will give the low dose Cialis a go, what dosage do you recommend? I just think the one constant from beginning of TRT to now has been my thyroid med, and the whole time my sex drive has been so low. My plan is to take a thyroid support supplement and a probiotic.

I was looking at my previous T3 levels over the past year after being on Unithroid and interestingly enough my T3 levels went from 3.9 when I first got on Unithroid, to 3.1 a few months later and now at 2.4. The dosage went from 25mcg to 50mcg after the 3.1 blood test came in. Does this make any...

I thought Cialis had no affect on libido but exclusively blood flow?

Thank you for your response, I suppose it wouldn't hurt but I really want to get to the root of the issue and not have to rely on low dose cialis daily at my age especially. What can even be done with my Thyroid, I'm already taking Levothyroxine for it, any supplements to help with raising T3...

Been on TRT for less than 5 months. TRT levels were E2: 25.3 Test Serum: 1083 Free Test: 2.1% Free Test: 227 SHBG: 48.7 I didn't have antibodies checked this time around but a few months ago I did and they were elevated Thyroglobulin Antibody 1.6 H 0.0-0.9 (IU/mL) TPO: Thyroid...

27 year old male Ok so I quit TRT in late August cold turkey (TRT did nothing for me in terms of energy, libido etc. despite very high test levels) and just got bloods done and they are all very satisfactory. My energy levels and motivation are good but the lack of sex drive is just destroying...

Would you guys suggest supplementing with 50-100mg of DHEA to increase E2 levels? Also how should I try to increase prolactin levels to normalcy?

I'm in great shape so BMI is not issue. I'm not taking antidepressants and the only other dopamine type supplements im taking are Ashawaganda, L-Tyrosine and mucuna pruriens from time to time.

As stated previous I was taking around 100mg of zinc/day for about a month but I stopped after learning about how it acts as an AI I am also taking Multi-vitamin 25mcg Unithroid (levothyroxine sodium) daily Horny Goat Weed Ginseng Garlic Green Tea Extract Ginger L-Arganine L-Citruilline...

I'm not even on AI. How do I raise E2 and prolactin levels? I am sure this is my issue but I don't know how to raise them

On another note I went through previous blood work and came across my TPO before TRT Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab 279 H 0-34 (IU/mL) What is TPO and is 279 too high? What does this signify?

What is wrong with TSH, seems right in the range. He is increasing my unithroid medication from 25mcg to 50mcg because of it. How do I increase E2 and Prolactin?

Ok just got back recent bloods, let me know what you guys think E2 Sensitive: 18.6 pg/ml range: 8-35 Estradiol (regular test): 25.3 Range: 7.6-42.6 (pg/mL) Prolactin: 1.1 ng/ml Range: 4.0-15.2 T4,Free(Direct):1.34 Range: 0.82-1.77 (ng/dL) Testosterone, Serum: 838 Range:264-916 (ng/dL) TSH...

How did you bring back up your prolactin level?

does Insurance normally pay for independent lab tests such as discounted labs (not ordered by physician)? Never had blood test outside of the scope of a doctors order.

Thank you for the very informative information. I realize it is very complex and I just want to try to eliminate as many variables as possible and just have a normal functioning libido. Can you further clarify what you mean by neurotransmitter health, how does one even make sure it remains in a...
