I wish that were true. I've been on Test for 4 years and, while it didn't happen overnight, in the last 6 months or so I just don't feel the same - libido has dropped off more than usual and while I've had ED issues for over 10 years and still treat it, that definitely hasn't gotten better either - was really surprised about my total T number since the blood draw was 5 days after my normal shot. The only thing I can think of that would have any effect is that I lift weights and had worked out about 4 hours prior to the doctor visit - I'm not a " heavy lifter " just do it to maintain. > > I don't know what labs the doctor uses but with these basic numbers within normal limits I'm concerned that more detailed tests won't show anything more either. Am definitely going back to see him (just received a call on these results from his office - didn't talk with him directly) - any ideas? > > Thx > Charlie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Charlie, Your lower then what your labs show because you did them labs 5 days after your last shot it's best to do labs on the morning of your next shot but before it. You could be at only 500 doing 80 mgs / week I feel like crap. I need my levels up into the upper 800 to 900's top of range 1100 to feel better libido and all. One other thing I found that is helping my ED and libido is I as per my Heart Dr. take 5 mgs of Cialis everyday for my Heart and BP levels but taking this helps me with my wood. I also started trying Progesterone cream Wow my libido is way up I am 67 when we go to have sex in the past there was not time for fore play I could only keep it up about 15 mins or less. Now on this cream I can keep it up as long as I need it. It also helps to keep my Estraidol levels down last time I tried it I went to low starting having Hot Flash's this lead me to think my Estraidol was to high so I kept taking Arimidex. On my labs I was to low 7 never in all the yrs I have been keeping Estradiol levels down have I been this low. It is also helping with my sleep you put the cream on at bedtime and I don't get up 3 x's a night to go to the bath room. Have your Prog. and pregnenolone levels checked first I am very low on both. The prog. cream I use is strong for women you might want to try this one for men. http://www.iherb.com/Life-Flo-Health-Progesta-Care-Body-Cream-Men-s-Formula-3-oz\ -85-g/9861?at=0 Also adding in HCG to your shots will help with your libido it acts like the LH message sent to your testis from your brain and they start making T again and mine were the size of small grapes. Now they are back to there normal size. Go to www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and his HCG Update to learn about using this.
