Re: My levels, what do you guys think?

January 15, 2007

Your levels are on the low side for your age what did your Dr. say about it. It

will be hard to get treatment for this with levels like this. Yet you do need

to do more testing to find out why your so low. Have your Thyroid checked doing

TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 with morning Cortisol. Also go to

www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success in this are other test

you need and why. If your Dr. would have checked your LH and FSH we would be

able to tell if your testis are working right. What did your Dr. say about the

blood flow into your penis this may not be your problem do the tests first. Do

you get morning wood if you do then there is nothing wrong with the blood flow

to your penis. A way to tell is to glue some stamps around your penis and it

the morning if they came apart you had wood. Also before doing this surgery see

a different Dr. to be sure you need this.

You Estradiol is not the high side and if you got this down it may help your

with your libido.

You can get some Indolplex/DIM take one tablet at dinner time and see if you

doing get some fast wood. Your not on TRT so if you try this keep an eye on

your wood if it stops your levels of E2 are going to low. So stop taking the

DIM until it comes back then go back on it but cut the tablet in half. You

doing drink or eat a lot of SOY do you.

A good level for E2 with low SHBG is about 10 to 30 best at 20 pg/ml.

I really have a hard time getting horny. I cannot get an erection

simply from looking at a naked woman with me. She has to really work

on my penis for me to get it up. Even then, I never can feel as horny

as I did when I was younger. When I was about 12, I could just look

at two people kissing on TV, or think about something sexual, and I

would have an immediate, solid erection and feel extremely aroused.

That cannot happen anymore.

Even though all numbers are within the normal ranges, do you guys find

them odd because I am young?

I should also add that I am probably getting penile artery bypass

surgery soon because of an injury between my legs that is preventing

bloodflow. Do you guys think this injury is affecting my ability to

feel horny? Do you think the hormones are causing problems also?

Is this an early morning test? T levels are highest in the morning.

You want to test as early as your lab opens.

Your levels are well within normal range. I'd suggest a retest. Make

sure the E2 test is a sensitive method and very accurate. (The more

common test is for women's levels and totally inaccurate much below

60.)

Your problem could well be physical because of the injury. Most of

your levels are just slightly below median amounts. If one testicle

was damaged that could explain that. At your age one would expect

higher levels. But levels vary widely over the day - hence the early

morning retest would be a good idea.

If E2 is higher than results indicate here, that could be the source

of your trouble and the surgery might be unnecessary. Me personally,

I'd try to get a good solid hormone profile before undergoing such a

surgery.

HI

I used to have the same problem as you and looking at your prolactin

I am guessing you have what I had.

There might be a dopamine insufficiency there especially if you are

a smoker or a past smoker or are using any prescriptions that would

alter dopamine levels.

Without dopamine your body cannot relax the blood vessels as there

will not be enough noradrenaline and adrenaline in your system to

dilate and constrict them.

I have been put on a dopamine serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake

inhibitor and man has it made a world of difference you think about

it and BAM !!! ACTION BABY !!!

I think part of the problem may be your adrenals a good test to do

is not to have any stimulants for a week and then load up on soft

drinks high in caffeine and see if it isn't easier to get an

erection. I have found this to be a good indicator as I noticed

before I went on this drug that if I had a few glasses of Coke with

dinner it was way easier to perform later at night.

Before I found out what the problem was.

Hope this helps

I just got another blood test done the other day. We'll see what my

new levels are. I have been on clomiphene for the last month to get

my testosterone up. I am also under the care of a very well known

endocrinologist who has publishings all over the place.

I do get morning wood sometimes, but it's never as hard as it should be.

Wayne,

I was curious what your dosage of Clomid is, as I am on Clomid

75mgs. every other day??

Also, given your symptoms of hypogon. still existing after a month

of Clomid, are you post-cycle or were you on HRT shots for an

extended period -if so, how long??

It takes some time to wake up the system! I was on gels, patches

and shots for about 5-6 months and am now having a hard time waking

my system back up with the Clomid...

Blessings,

Bill

I take 50 mg of Clomiphene three times a week. I'll be honest, I do

not know what HRT shots are.

I still do not have my new levels. I will post when I get them.

Nobody's commented on this and I am very curious. Does anybody think

the levels below could be causing my difficulty in getting horny?

As I said, I am getting penile revascularization surgery soon because

that is also a factor in my ED, but I wonder whether these hormone

levels are also causing my ED.

Hi,

have you investigaged hcg?

in the bb world clomid or novaldex along with hcg are pretty standard

post cycle and a lot of folks here are doing little bitty doses weekly

to keep the boys functioning at some level.

January 21, 2007

This link www.allthingsmale.com has one of the newest cutting edge HRT out.

Read TRT: A Recipe of Success. This Dr. feels Clomiphene is not a good

treatment for low T. He has treated more men this most Dr.'s for low T.
