Blades you put this post in the Fitness Exersize and Supplements forum. Are you looking for something to take to get your libido back based on some of your blood work?
Yeah my hormone levels is the only thing i can think that's caused my libido to become next to zero.
It would be nice to see your full labs with ranges. Your SHBG looks good at 39nmol, so my guess would be is estradiol levels? Did you get the right sensitive estradiol test for men.
I moved the thread.
I was tested for E2 if that's the right sensitive test to do, it says on my paperwork my E2 is 145pmol/L and that was just one of top limit judging by what's on the paper, on lookong at my paperwork my SHBG is 46 not 39...test was 14.1 uk 406 usa, free was around 1.42%, cortisol 295..bloods done at 11.20am
With LabCorp the sensitivity test the range is 8.0 - 35.0 pg/mLIt would be nice to see your full labs with ranges. Your SHBG looks good at 39nmol, so my guess would be is estradiol levels? Did you get the right sensitive estradiol test for men.
