[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 117826, member: 18023"] I have no idea of what sort of hormone / lab test helps to indicate libido. I know if my TT is below 400, I have fairly low libido, once a month I start thinking of sex. But once I am above 500, it's strange. By that I mean average to crazy monkey sex high. Most of the time I rate my libido as middle of the road. I can have sex once a day, but don't really want it every single day. Libido is always pretty good right near the beginning of TRT, the first couple of weeks, then it's more like when I was young. After that it sort of goes to middle of the road. When in the past after a couple of years of TRT my TT got to 902 ng/dl FT 27, I was like a raging teenager, it was so high it was annoying, I had sex 5 times a day. Maybe my libido soared because I injected earlier in a cycle of Nebido than normal, and my other hormones I didn't measure, like DHT were at appropriate levels. BUT right now I am at TT 1389 ng/dl and FT of 28.4, (E2 56) it "feels" no different than if I were at a TT of 600. Surely better libido than no TRT, but nothing special. Maybe I recover a little quicker from a workout, but it's kind of subtle, so maybe it's just because I know my levels. So I am not sure why libido behaves differently and isn't solely dependant on TT/FT. Perhaps if you increase your TT too fast, it takes other hormones and receptors that aren't artificially enhanced time to "catch up". You can see from the forum many other people are puzzled by TRT and their libido. [/QUOTE]
