[QUOTE="DaviSh, post: 162802, member: 39744"] Guys, I appreciate in the input I have received. I've been on TRT for 4-1/2 years; first two years through PCP, then functional medicine hormone "specialist" for the last 2-1/2. I did far better back with my PCP prescribing, while I mostly self-regulated. I went to the specialist because I was nervous about continuing my own dosage schedule based on internet research. Here's an update to my original post. LabCorp re-tested my original sample for "sensitive E2" and results were the same (<2.5). I went back to LabCorp last week for the upgraded TT/FT test with no upper boundary. It's no surprise, both TT/FT are too high. I plan to reduce dose and move to twice weekly injections. I also had DHT, non-sensitive E2, and prolactin tested (see attached results). Prolactin is slightly high, E2 remains almost non-existent, and DHT is very high. Nelson posted previously that [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/factors-that-may-decrease-estradiol-in-men-on-testosterone.19845/#post-161804']DHT is a powerful estrogen blocker[/URL]. I'm guessing that my high DHT levels are tied to my excessive test cyp dosage? Should I look for another cause for DHT at 132 (30-85 range) besides TRT? I have an appointment with DR on Monday, and I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible about what may be causing rather sudden drop in libido and near-impossible-erections. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
