had labs done march 4th and test was 1130, estrogen was 40, and dhea was fine. recently i have no desire sexually and have noticed that my testicles are tighter to my body, my ejaculation has alot less volume, and my orgasms only last a couple of seconds, seems like i have lost girth of my penis..i still have morning wood, but i do take 10 mg of cialis daily...im wondering if i need to start HCG or if there is something else going on..having more labs on the 10th..
 
I go through random bouts of this too. I will be on top of the world, change nothing, and then have a week or so where things feel smaller, don't respond to cialis, no desire at all. Would love to know what is happening there.
 
Low to even mid level DHT can cause low libido.

Mid to elevated levels of Prolactin can cause low libido.

Elevated to suppressed estrogen can cause low libido.

Hypothyroidism can cause low libido...and so many other things as well.

Take 5-10 mg per day of Cialis, 2000 mg of citrulline per day and HCG 500 IU twice a week. If you do not feel more horny with this protocol, then stress, lack of sleep, use of medications like antidepressants or blood pressure meds can be to blame.

I tell guys that sex drive is like a muscle. You have to stimulate it to keep it going. Even if you do not have a sex partner, good porn can keep "juices flowing".

Totally agree with the last statement especially for middle aged and older guys.
 
sorry to jump in on this but it sounds like I may need HCG. been on test cyp for about 8-9 weeks now. Started at 200mg a week for 4 weeks then moved to 100mg twice a week for 2 weeks now 50mg twice a week Dr wants me at 200mg twice a month(Dr doesn't like 809 total test wants it much lower.) I have a sex drive I get erections but they don't last long mid masterbation or intercourse it goes semi-flasid I do reach orgasim, but this is strange. only tests dr orders are Total test and free.

What's wrong with Total Testosterone in the low 800's??? Sounds perfect to me.

What's you Free Testosterone and Estrogen levels like? If your Doc is only ordering Total and Free and nothing else I have a hunch he doesn't know what he's doing not discounting the fact that your Doc has you dosages all over the board.

BTW, 200 mg per month isn't going to do much if anything to raise you serum levels.

As for maintaining a long erection look into Trimix. I have the same problem where I can get an erection but have some issues keeping it...Trimix not only solved the problem but made my sex life 100 times better!!!

I urge you to read the forums and the stickies and learn as much as you can.

In fact, order Nelson's book as a good start!
 
thanks Gene and Nelson, i am going to try everything and see how it goes...my job is 24/7 and normally only get 2 hrs of sleep at a time due to my job...and of coarse with that and two kids in college and mother dying in January, its a wonder if the darn thing will work at all..:)

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.
