[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 204634, member: 15043"] everyone’s focused on E2, which very well could be the culprit for a decreased libido while on HCG, but what I would be focusing on first is HCG’s effects on prolactin. Libido in males mainly comes from E2. And if there’s a hormone that could be considered the opposite of testosterone, it would definitely be prolactin. Almost every positive that comes from taking testosterone, having high levels of prolactin can cause the exact opposite symptoms. I theorize that most issues that men blame on E2, are actually high prolactin symptoms. E2 and prolactin tend to increase and decrease together, so I can see how it may be easy to confuse high prolactin symptoms for high E2 symptoms. But since E2 is the main driver of libido in males, what u see more with high E2 is high libido, but softer erections. What we usually see with high prolactin in males, is decreased libido as well as erection issues, as well as all the other common high prolactin symptoms, which if u look at them, tend to be correlated more with high E2, than high prolactin, with most guys on HRT. So moral of the story, I would be looking into prolactin before looking into E2, whenever a guy has issues that he thinks are caused by E2 being too high. [/QUOTE]
