[QUOTE="Drug350, post: 243282, member: 44769"] I don't want to make this post too long, so I'll condense as much as possible. 54 yrs old, been feeling shitty for several years. My testosterone came back as follow: Testosterone = 169 NGDL Free Testosterone = 3.1 NGDL Bioavailable Testosterone = 72.6 NGDL SHBG = 34 nmol/L TSH = 2.64 uiU/ml Prolactin = 14.6 ng/ml Estradiol = 21 pg/ml LH = 3 mlU/ml FSH = 4 mlU/ml PSA = .5 ng/ml My doctor started me on TRT 6 weeks ago @100 MG's Testosterone Cypionate once a week, along with daily 5 MG'S Cialis. I immediately felt sooooooooo much better. My libido was off the charts, literally wanting, able to, and having, sex 3 - 5 times a day. I was a walking hard on and loved how easily I could be turned on, even shortly after just having sex for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time that day.
