Surprising Blood Work - Attempting to restore non existent libido

[The slice]

I have battled with libido for years and it has been suggested that my E2 is too low and I am probably running my test too high. Despite only running 140mg my Free test was sky high, very high androgen index and low SHBG.

So in order to attempt a more favorable test/androgen to E2 Ratio I lowered my test from 140MG to 87.5 and added HCG at 500iu EOD.

My Blood work is surpising - My Test is higher, My E2 is higher, my free T is way higher, my SHBG is lower and my free andogens have literally doubled.

My libido has not made any improvement - I am way more short tempered and its now way harder to ejaculate.

Really no idea how to move forward

You are taking a hefty dose of hCG and it seems like you are responding strongly to it with high endogenous production of T and E2. Try taking less of something. If the goal is to keep E2 as high as possible relative to T, then the something you take less of should probably be testosterone.
