[QUOTE="Lowlibidolife, post: 263422, member: 45888"] Hi everyone, Curious to get some input as to what may be going on here. 28 male prior to TRT mostly very low energy and libido. Was at 270 total and 41 free test. Estrogen was fine. Started at 100 mg weekly spread across two doses. In weeks 4-5 I noticed a decent improvement in libido. I noticed a very strong correlation between back acne and my sex drive. Days where I had more acne I was more horny. After week 5 things plateaued. I no longer get much acne. I have irritability that I feel is higher than most guys experience that start TRT, much better recovery from gym, but still no sex drive. My test is now 700 total and 95 free. Estrogen is 29, so normal. My doctor and I thought it might be SHBG and I just got that tested and that’s within the normal range at 33. I’m at a loss. My only thoughts are to increase the dose, but I am weary of my irritability getting out of control. Although I am open to the idea I will get used to being more irritable in general as that feeling is entirely new to me. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
