Re: Total T 759...free T 8.7

[Guest guest]

High and welcome you don't need TRT your Total T levels are dam good but if you

keep using propecia you can end up with a loss of your sex life and low

Testosterone. I can tell by your SHBG levels 59 your Estradiol is to high this

happens to us older men do get this checked at Quest labs it's #4021 with range

of 13 to 54 you need your levels down to about 20 pg/ml. Do you still get night

time and morning wood if not then this can be do to high levels of Estradiol and

propecia can do this up your levels of Estradiol.

Here and at other forums we here very bad story's about men on propecia getting

low Testosterone and losing there sex life. There is even a forum at this link

go there and read about this. Also join and post see what they tell you.

Here is a link about high levels of Estradiol and low Testosterone in older men

your Total T levels are good but your SHBG is high this binds up Free

Testosteone. So if your Estradiol is to high and you get it down your SHBG can

go down and your Free T levels will go back up and you will get your night time

and morning wood back.

Just in case Phil didn't totally convince you to give up the Propecia:

Propecia (finasteride)is used by male-to-female transexuals to help them

feminize. It is an anti-androgen.

What is the best alternative to finasteride as far as hair goes?

I tested my estradiol in 2007 and it was 20. It was 23 in 2005. These levels

seem to be in to lower end of the range.

My recent tsh was .0035 and free t3 was 3.2 and free 4 was 1.08.

Are there any good substitutes for propecia?

Still you need to check your Estradiol again it's best at 20 pg/ml most men

doing Propecia end up with high levels of Estradiol. Your Thyroid looks good to

me. Your Estradiol needs to be near the bottom end of the range best for most

men is 20 pg/ml.
