Hi, I am 47yrs old and am on trt
100mg test-e split 50mg Mon and 50mg Thurs
Hcg 250iu Mon and 250iu Thurs
0.25mg Arimadex Mon and 0.25mg Thurs
When I started the TRT 3 months ago my
S Test was 9.2 nmol/L range 9.9-27
free test was 193 pmol/L range 170-670
SHGB was 22 nmol/L range 15-40
S Oestradiol 169 pmol/L range <160
My recent test are
S Test 38 nmol/L range 9.9-27
Free test 870 pmol/L range 170-670
SHGB 37nmol/L range 15-40
S Oestradiol 109 pmol/L range <160
I am doing the TRT myself as the doctor felt that my test levels were fine and did not warrant any further consideration, even though I had no libido,rem or morning wood and could not get it up without a hell of alot of trying and then it just went soft very quickly. i had no real energy and the list goes on.
I now have good energy and my strength is good I can work all day and go to the gym 5 days per week doing 3 days weights and 2 days for cardio my weight has dropped by 20kg and my BF% is down from 42% to 22% and my diet is very clean. I do-not or have not done AAS and am not a body builder, but I do love to work out for strength and BF%, and my ultimate goal is to get to 6-10% BF and am having a Dexa scan done every 6-8 weeks to keep me on track.
So my problem is that even though I have good results with the TRT protocol and at the start for about 6-8 weeks I had rem and morning wood and the libido was fantastic, now my libido is wanning and I have all but lost the morning wood and rem wood is gone completley. I can still get a hard on with the right encouragement, but honestley it's an effort to keep it up and cumming can take forever.
Can anyone here help me out with this, I belive that Estrogen is still to high and would like to see it at 70pmol/L is that correct? I think that SHGB is abit high also and would like to see it fall into the same range as the Estrogen, but don't know how to acheive this, I have a notion that as Estrogen falls so will the SHGB as that is what the bloods are telling me is this correct?
I don't understand what's happening and I live in a small community with only one doctor who for me is about as useless as tit's on a bull and all of my research is just getting me more confused, i feel the TRT protocol is a good one, but what's happening now with the erection and libido I can not understand, maybey the testosterone is binding to SHGB, but my free test does not support this, is this correct? I know the AI is helping to stop Aromatase, but what about the Estrogen before that, does it take time to clear? I doubt that I have crashed my E2 has the bloods don't support this, is this correct?
Sorry guys for the long post and I hope I have not confused you all, but I am a total newbie at this, not sure if I even posted this in the right spot, if anyone out there who know's about this shit could help I would be very grateful.
Thankyou.
