I am currently starting P5P and vitamin E for prolactin. might want to look into vitamin E as an alternative. perhaps with caber you are taking too high or low/or frequency of a dosage and you can find the right dosage for you would be useful to get labs on the day you feel good after taking...

my progesterone always seems to be over the range at 1.2. Not sure of the up or downsides to this. you prolactin is not high but have you tried lowering it? I have a prolactin issue, trying to lower it currently.

Been on 10mg cypionate IM a day for 5 weeks. prolactin and E2 are on the high end. I got a prescription for 0.0625 AI pills, I am considering starting with 3x a week. 1. Is my prolactin High due to my e2 and should it follow e2 down if i take ai? should i add in p5p? 2. I have my honeymoon in...

how is your body composition?

Thanks @madman. I am desperate to regain libido as I am hopefully getting married in July. In addition to giving the protocol time to stabilize what do you suggest I do in terms of bloodwork to look for additional potential contributors of low libido? so far I am thinking Thyroid (TSH,FT3,FT4)...

these are your numbers prior to application?

My biggest concern is maintaining Libido. I have been on TRT in the past. I was off for several months. I was also low shbg, so TRT did not feel so effective for me at the time (libido was the biggest problem). My shbg is now closer to normal, closer to mid 20's and injecting 10mg a day, no ai...

hows the hair? ever get a dht reading on it?

it is not available in canada right now, they had to take it off the market to revamp its manufacturing process, probably back in early 2021 (i emailed the company earleir this year). it is more like short acting testosterone, not long enough half life for your system to completely shut down lh...

if you are in the states. Maybe consider giving natesto a run. I am in canada and it is not available here right now. but i would like to try it, seems promising for low shbg guys because of the short half life (less E conversion) and low commitment, no shutdown and no need for hcg and ai.

AI only prevents a certain amount of aromatization, you will still have E conversion. You don't want zero E. it only prevents some aromatization (dose dependent) to E not DHT etc. I haven't heard of increased conversion to dht due to AI. an interesting thought, but I dont think it would be...

you need to wait 4-6 weeks for bloodwork

see my thread. low shbg 9mg daily, going to 10mg next. when your free T and Total T are at a reasonably good level. If you are truly low shbg there is not point in reducing the dose to try to lower E significantly. I tried that but my T got too low as well. it was a huge waste of time. I tried...

Do you have libido on this protocol that you didn't have when you had higher E2? How was the process finding the right dosage/schedule of AI? Also care to share some bloodwork on where your TT,FT,SHBG,E2 sits roughly? hard to find lowshbg guys who have made things work.

your e2 is probably high, you are low shbg

@Dr Justin Saya MD This is an peculiar case. Would be great to get your view on it.

I am low shbg, daily injector, trying to get my E2 from 39 to the low 20's. Libido is my biggest issue. Feel free to see my other thread regarding my protocol. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/low-libido-low-shbg-protocol-help-labs-x3.21084/ I have used 0.25 ai once or twice a week on...

isn't another option adding a low dose AI? I have already tried lowering my dosage gradually down by 1mg a day increments, E2 came down but T values did as well as expected. How would raising my dosage help, the excess dht might offset the e2?

Yes a while back. It was 11 (0-15 ug/L)

I feel high E symptoms even at 39. Anxiety, dull orgasms, loss of sensitivity.

DHT top of range due to my low shbg. The target E2, is just that, a target. I expect to get around it plus or minus a few points (low 20's).

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Libido seems to be illusive and hard to find. I am a low SHBG and struggle with libido/erections. daily injector IM (9mg x 7 = 63 mg week) The only time I have felt normal in that sense (libido) is usually when I am coming off TRT (for a week or two). Or...

strange response. I had a modest increase in shbg from adding small dose of cytomel (5mcg) to my sythnyroid at that time my free t3 went up, as my free t3 dropped, my shbg did as well. was this all measured at the same lab? is there a chance your misremembering what you were taking at the time...

what free estradiol do you suggest people target? Maybe at least mid range since it would be our trough free E2 value? or have you heard at what free e2 levels low shbg guys are feeling good?

There is no goodrx in canada unfortunately.

me too. sounds like you might be going too far in the other direction though, as by the sounds of it you are low shbg? were you taking an ai and what was your e2?

anyone have an updated link to this thread? Link seems to be broken.

I fast every year from sunrise to sunset for 30 days(Ramadan). This was my first ramadan on daily 5mg cialis. I felt all the initial body aches, soreness, headaches from when I first started cialis when i started fasting. Almost like due to the fasting the cialis was affecting me more. I had...

I called a few pharmacies and the prices were outrageous for the generic in Canada. 5mg daily $120 month, enough 20mg pills so i could split for the month was around the same. Any Canadians know how to get cialis for cheap online in Canada? any recommended generic brands?

i thought its effect on estrogen was only minor, from the studies i have read. are you also on an AI?

did your PSA go back up? what did your shbg go down to after stopping? I have rising psa and low shbg, that might be a good supplement for me to try!
