libido

So yes, there are post on this forum about alcohol and TRT. But nothing I could find in this forum and nothing specific to mine. Anyways I have been pretty dialed in the last 3 weeks, it took almost 2 months to get there. The other day I went out with my buddy and got pretty drunk. Had like 5...

Hello everyone! I just want to say that I am not on trt, or ever took some kind of steroid or drug or something like that. After starting natural bodybuilding in my teens, I felt great at 18-21 years old, I had an easy time putting on muscle and getting pumps, libido was sky high, agression and...

This is so counter-intiuitive to me but I've seemed it claimed on here before. Now sure - if E2 is out of whack or your test is so high that its doing damage, I get that. But why do guys say their libido suffers just from having higher T even when everything else is in range? Like for example...

So Jay and Dr Nichols are doing a full court press on evidence based symptoms, saying most initial sides are basically psychosomatic and to quit being pussies and get through it, Dr Nichols wents so far a couple days ago and said pretty much the entire membership of Excel Male needs to apply...

Any guys having luck with testosterone cream applied to the scrotum? I was just prescribed 20% testosterone cream, 100 mg to be applied to scrotum every morning in addition to my Test C 50 mg subQ twice/week to help out with my libido. My DHT was 56 no/dl (30-85). After the fourth day I do feel...

Hi all, I'm curious about your experiences. What do you remember about when you first started TRT? When did you start noticing the effects, and what were those effects? Did they remain steady, go up/down? I am only one week into testosterone application (cream applied trans-scrotally) after 9...

I’ve been on topical cream (not applied to testicles) and now shots. I was on the 100mg dose of cream and that brought my dht up but not my t. So I switched to shots. I’ve been taking daily shots now for 6 weeks at 150mg per week. My shbg is 15, e2 47, t-778, ft- 159 (max is 155). It seems one...

So I got my lab results today Free T-17.7 TT-797 E2-35 (roche test) SHGB 36.1 PSA-.9 I have been having some libido issues along with a little bit of mood issues. 3 weeks ago I was great. Now, kind of in the middle. Having difficulty getting erections and maintaining. Sex drive is pretty low...

So I have posted on this board a few times over the last couple weeks. Real quick long story short. 2 Monday’s ago I took a dose of my AI ‘when my doctor told me not to take it anymore, I took it because I thought my e2 was getting high’ anyways fast foward to now. My libido is none existent. A...

So I posted a little bit ago (3 days) about my e2 bottoming out. It’s been 10 days since I took my AI dose. It was weird as well. Right when I took the dose the next morning I couldn’t get out of bed. As the week progressed my ED got worse. Yesterday had a pretty decent erection but just didn’t...

I feel like these labs should have restored all things. Estrogen still staying lower then I’d like with no AI. I’ve been on TRT for 4 months now. E2 has been at just 3 before so 19 is progress although slow. With my test level according to Nelson V 14-20/1 (T/E) ratio I should have E2...

Dr Saya first advised me to take it for my insomnia. 25mg every night. It seemed to make my insomnia worse and give me heart palpitations so I stopped after a week. However I noticed a huge increase in libido and also an increase in my facial hair. This week I started taking it again to address...

I started TRT about a year and a half ago after being diagnosed with bilateral varicoceles and showing a total T in the low 400's and a free T of 5. I had the varicoceles successfully removed but started TRT because my symptoms were terrible and I was not sure what damage was done by the...

I’ve been creeping around here for a while and thought I’d ask directly and see if there have been any other experiences or advice that could be offered. I’ve been on 160mg/wk Test Cyp since March. My test levels went from the 300’s to between 990’s and 1090’s (I’ve done three panels since)...

Long time lurker, first time poster. On TRT for 2+ years an everything is great aside from utter lack of libido. Labs are great, mood is good, and all in all no complaints except from the notable libido lack. Been doing research on caber and am considering asking my doctor about it. I've...

High-dose Niacin was generally considered very beneficial before about 2010 but then fell into a bit of disfavor without much credible change in the science. I have been watching the evidence for a long time and it seems incomplete but generally positive. I have tried niacin on and off without...

It finally got approved (Sept 2023) after years of rejections from the FDA. "Studied in over 5,000 patients, Travivo (Gepirone) has been found to have a favorable safety profile and be well-tolerated. The drug's unique single mechanism of targeted 5HT1a agonism, allows for the relief of...

After a few years of reading forum posts, it seems that there is a pattern of people starting TRT, going through a "honeymoon" phase where libido skyrockets, then trying to figure out what to do when libido drops below pre-TRT levels. Sometimes we add something else (like HCG), go through...

Hi everyone, I am desperately looking for some answers and direction here as doctors so far are unable to help or work out what's going on regarding my non existent libido and ED. Below I have detailed a brief history to assist I am 25yo and currently on TRT, prescribed by an...

Hi everybody, As I have said in previous posts, my endo prescribed me 175mg of testosterone cypionate every 14 days. I instead chose to give myself my medication every 7 days after reading of the stupidity of injecting every 14 days. I also know that my dosage is probably too high for a beginner...

I am a 32 yo male who has been experiencing low libido for over a year. Bloods revealed low testosterone and MRI of the pituitary with an 'incidental' 3mm finding. Endocrinologist felt no treatment was indicated. I have since been self medicating with Enclomiphene and Arimidex. My testosterone...

Does DHEA increase libido?

I started taking DIM (2 capsules a day - DIM plus from Nature’s way) and my libido went through the roof (it was already good before starting DIM). So i stopped and resumed a few times to see if it was the DIM responsible for the boost in libido and it seems like it is. So if you have your lab...
