[QUOTE="madman, post: 115921, member: 13851"] Also understand that even though your TT/FT are at the higher end of the reference range, seeing as your e2 was taken with the wrong test you will not know where your e2 truly sits until you have it done using the sensitive assay so I would not stress out over whether you may think your e2 is too high or too low until you have the proper e2 test done. As far as libido it is complex and even if one had healthy TT/FT levels along with e2 in a healthy range and prolactin, DHT levels were also in range one can still experience issues with libido as lack of quality sleep, excess stress, neurotransmitter health also play a role. When one first starts trt it is common for many to experience an increase in libido due to a surge in dopamine and the overall stimulatory effects of testosterone which most would call the honeymoon period and as the body eventually adapts to the new testosterone level libido levels off and as long as overall hormone are in a healthy range one will experience an overall improvement in libido but it may not be as intense as when first starting trt. It is also common to experience increase in libido when one changes their protocol and increase testosterone dose but it is temporary as the body will eventually adapt to these new levels and again libido can level off and as long as overall hormones are in a healthy range one should have a healthy libido. There are many men who are always chasing this so called raging libido thinking it should be present 24/7 on trt when in fact having healthy levels of sex hormones one should have a healthy functioning libido. In your situation as well as many others e2 levels whether too low or high can definitely cause negative effects regarding libido/erections. [/QUOTE]
