Bloodwork: Low Test, Low Estrogen

Oh ok. For me I’ve always had very high sex drive but have lost it since starting trt. Probably going to quit over it

What is your protocol and how long have you been on? Do you have a log here that I can read? We can try to assist.

I will stop now…

Try a neurotransmitter supp.

Like 5 htp or tyrosine
There are others too. Maybe others can point then out.

Wife just started 5 htp. Thank God she trust me with stuff I give her. Really for her stress and better sleep but an hoping she is horny more. Yeah a bit selfish

Started off on gel for about 6 weeks. Total t up around 1000 e2 around 15. I have been on injections every 3.5 days for about 4 weeks now, 50 mg per. Going to go and get blood test this week. Beyond the no sex drive also notice some anxiety day or 2 post injection. Sub q.

Doubtful a Dr would prescribe it. Its a DHT derivative, doesnt aromatize, and acts like a mild anti Estrogen

Your ratios are jacked at those levels boss. Testosterone is to high and estrogen to low.

So how do I raise e2? E2 was low prior to trt as well

U taking any estrogen control supps or meds?

Cialis can lower estrogen.

I had the same issue pre trt boss. I was <5 pre trt. Hell I just crashed my e2 with DIM here recently. Just ran bloodwork today to see if I’m stabilized with a decent e2 with no supps at all. No dim. No vitamins. No nothing. That’s on 300 mg a week. I personally think I have an issue with to little aromatase enzyme in my body.

I take daily cialis and it does not affect my estrogen. If it does it would be so insignificant. Dim and zinc def

Get her on BHRT?

I wish. Is there something I can put in the pasta?

:joy::joy:

No ai, no sups, no cialis. Just T. The strange thing is that pre trt even with low e2 I was horny af .

Are we talking Estrogen replacement or Testosterone? I’ve got plenty of Testosterone lol if it gets me laid I’ll stick her with a needle

Probably because t was lower too.
Don’t know how to raise e2 other than more t.

There a DNA thing where you have trouble aromatization

@highpull
My wife gets horny when she ovulates. Wettest time too. So I gather it’s the estrogen at its peak?

Ratio between T and E was probably better. There is such a thing as genetic abnormalities in regards to ones abilities to convert e2 into Testosterone. There’s a name for it but it boils down to a gene mutation.

Are you lean? Over weight? How much vegetables do you eat? Cruciferous vegetables? Asparagus? These can lower e2.
