OK, what's next?

[Petras Petraitis]

Ok... so from begin.
I have low T - I increase T
I have low E2 - I increase E2
I have low SHB - I increase shbg almoust to norms
I have low vitamine D - I increase vitamine D

But whyy my libido is still so low?

My T is over 1000ng/dl, My E2 about 40pg/ml, SHBG 18nmol/l, progesterone, dheas and prolactin at mid norms, TTH and other thyroid hormones is ok, s owhy Ihave no libido? Erection also is not so good. I'm on HCG 500iu 2x week, and try one time 1000iu per injection, after that I get much better libido but I realy dont know, or HCG increase that or L-theanine, because I also add that time much L-theanine... So what I should do next to get back my amazing libido, as it was before 8 years...... Increase HCG 1x1000iu/week? But my balls is normal size. Increase dopamine? How?

Was DHT measured?

 

[Petras Petraitis]

No, but I think it can be high, because I get acne from HCG. You think too much DHT can cause very low libido?

 

[CoastWatcher]

DHT is necessary for libido. Don't guess - test it.

 

[Chivato]

Both low E2 and low DHT can cause low libido. You have checked your E2 but not your DHT and although acne can be an indicator it is not a sure-fire indication.

Thanks Nelson, all is ok, don't have diabetes, heart diseas or something like this, maybe can be a little bit increase in heart rate and blood pressure, but my problem is not with erection quality, but with libido. Maybe there is someone who used dopamine or something who will convert to dopamine?

For real I don't think that DHT is very important for libido, excess DHT cause excess epinephrine it's bad for libido...

DHT is seven to eight times as androgenic as testosterone and boosting DHT levels can, indeed, improve libido. There are threads here on the Forum that support this point. It's up to you, but it is worth checking your level.

 

[Petras Petraitis]

I will check that.
