You have been on the forum since 2014 and have tried out numerous TTh protocols since 2017 some which resulted in healthy let alone a very high FT!
Mind you in one of your older threads I posted below the results seem odd for TT which is insanely high 2913 ng/dL!
Your calculated FT would have been through the roof as in a cFTV 67.2 ng/dL!
If you truly have achieved healthy/high FT levels on some of your previous protocols than it is not your FT that is the issue.
What really stands out in most of your threads where you have posted lab results is your low estradiol/T:E ratio which you have stated is always low even when driving up your FT!
Yet you have also tried increasing your e2 by other means with no luck when it comes to libido.
As I have stated numerous times on the forum It's a myth that one needs to have high-end let alone absurdly high FT or DHT levels in order to have a healthy libido or healthy erectile function.
Having healthy levels of FT, DHT and estradiol is what really matters and even then having healthy hormones is only one piece of the puzzle.
Libido and erectile function are complex and multifactorial and there is much more involved than just having healthy hormones.
Another thing that stands out here is you have always had higher SHBG in the 50s so even though you will need to hit a higher TT to achieve a high enough FT you could still easily achieve a healthy/high FT with a TT 900-1200 ng/dL.
As long as you can find a dose of T that will allow you to achieve a TT 900-1200 ng/dL your FT would be healthy/high!
The downfall here is that you have always struggled with low estradiol even when supposedly driving up your FT.
Testosterone might not do as much for your libido as people think it does. Here's what this hormone does and doesn't do for your sex drive.

As an expert on andrology and sexual dysfunctions, urologist Andrew Y. Sun, M.D., sees plenty of patients who’re struggling with low libido. And most are pretty sure they already know why: They must have low testosterone levels. Even if it turns out they don’t, “most of them still strongly believe that increasing their testosterone levels will improve their libido,” says Sun, who practices at Urology Partners of North Texas.
Sun’s...
*The male sexual response cycle is complex and the exact role of testosterone in mediating libido, arousal, erection, ejaculation, and orgasm is multifactorial
*This hormone isn’t the only biological factor with clear, substantial power over our libidos
Hi all I went onto trt in 2017 . Doc prescribed gel for my low testosterone results. Obviously this didn't do anything so eventually I went onto nebido which was every 12 weeks then I went privately to a doctor in the UK who prescribed me testosterone cypionate and HCG.. after 2 months I had to stop the hCG we as my anxiety levels were through the roof. The doctor kept telling me I was optimised as my blood results showed good levels of testosterone and free testosterone but I still felt like s*** with no libido.. eventually left this doctor after wasting hundreds and hundreds of pounds...

Obviously this didn't do anything so eventually I went onto nebido which was every 12 weeks then I went privately to a doctor in the UK who prescribed me testosterone cypionate and HCG.. after 2 months I had to stop the hCG we as my anxiety levels were through the roof. The doctor kept telling me I was optimised as my blood results showed good levels of testosterone and free testosterone but I still felt like s*** with no libido.. eventually left this doctor after wasting hundreds and hundreds of pounds because he didn't listen to how I felt. I moved onto scrotal cream which gave me very high levels of free testosterone still no libido. I am now on test E . I was 200mg a week but it seems I'm a hyper responder and my free t shir sky high. I've reduced the amount to 100 mg a week. I feel better sleep is better but still no libido... My E2 has always been low . Never had a good ratio between test and E2 . I thought that's it that's the key to my libido I need to increase my E2... I started HCG again with no anxiety but I felt shit . I felt totally crap on it and moody and aggressive. Also I'd never raised my E2 . So I decided to stop and try estridol tablet 1 mg a day .. guess what . Still no libido . It's dead. If I try to have sex or jerk off its numb down there. Loss of sensitivity and I can jerk for ages and Neve climax... Has anyone got any idea on what the Fk is wrong .. my prolactin is fine. My progresteron is fine and dht was fine last October ... Please any advice is most welcome ...

Hi thanks for the reply. . I've been on test E since Jan this year . 200 mg was advised as the doc thought it would raise my e2. The only thing it raised was my test . I started waking at 2 am every morning sweating . I was ready to take in the world... Spoke to doc who agreed to drop 100 mg of test E a week . I have been on this new amount for 8 weeks with HCG thrown in for two weeks at the start 250 iu a week but the reactions were horrible. Moody aggressive and felt like crap on it. So now I am on 1 mg of estridol a day. I have been on this estridol for three weeks and still no libido... I am going to start 2 mg soon as the new tablets arrive . For some reason it won't let me attach the lab results from march 15th so I'll type them out . These results of being on 200 mg a week. U can see the E2 to test ratio is way out . New bloods will be taken Monday coming . Just getting free T and T and E2 done . These labs below are UK ranges
Free test. 2.335 nmol/L
Shbg. 56.2. Nmol/l
Total T. 101. Nmol/L
TSH. 2.26 Miu/l
