TSH is not low, thyroid testing is incomplete. Missing fT3 and rT3. Pregnenolone is obviously low, how is cognitive function?
You need to inject T 50mg twice weekly.
I was under the impression from ksman that tsh should be around 1.
I just convinced my dr to give me
Weekly shots from biweekly. So next my goal is to convince him to allow me to self injection so I can increase frequency more.
As for preg, definitely mental fogginess. I did try preg 50mg and DHEA 50mg for about 7 days a month ago and lost ability to get erections even w pde5s so I’m nervous about trying them
Again. I did feel
Mentally more
Clear.
With your SHBG level you don’t really need to inject more often than twice weekly. Your TSH isn’t as close to 1.0 as we would like to see, these ranges are absurd and most progressive doctors have narrowed those range to .40 - 2.5 mIU/l.
You just can’t have optimal thyroid levels with TSH above 2.0 mIU/l and doctors are realising this fact, really under 1.5 mIU/l for optimal.
So you see now your TSH isn’t so low anymore.
I prefer not to throw two different medication into the mix all at once, try the preg 50mg first because you’ll never know which supplement is making you feel bad. Typically DHEA doesn’t workout well with some guys.
So do you suggest adding in some more iodine via salt? From what I understand that could lower tsh more? I’ve read the sticky and done some googling but am still a tad unclear.
Thanks for all the help here btw.
I would start supplementing iodine and selenium.
Thanks. I have always tested very low (outside of range low) on sodium… So I’d assume increasing iodized table salt would increase both sodium levels and iodine levels.
Am I correct thinking this way?
It may not be enough, replace table salt and supplement iodine and selenium.
So you’re saying to replace table salt as to add it back into my diet, and then add in supplemental forms of iodine and selenium? I’m sorry I’m so dense this morning…
Is there a standard amount one would supplement with for both?
Yes both and retests after a few months and see where you stand on a full thyroid panel. Have other members in family check their temperatures per thyroid sticky.
Hey mate. How you doing? On my log we recently talked about your ED. I didn’t realise you’ve been struggling with it for so long.
It hasn’t been long since we chatted but have you been able to try Proviron yet?
If you can’t get that through your doc. Buy some DIM (olympian labs) 100mg. Try that, at 100mg a day, for a week. See if that has any effect on you. Trust me. Give it a go.
It can lower DHT as it fights at the same receptor. But try it for one week. You might be surprised with the feelings…
Are you still with your GF brother? 
Hey dude!
Yeah still w the gf. But she has 3 kids and is pushing for more of a commitment. So not sure how long it’ll last.
I’m going to talk to dr about the Proviron. From what I read it’s basically just dht. So it should produce androgenic effects.
I recently started buspar medication. It’s for anxiety but used as well for low libido. I actually think it’s working some but too early to tell.
That’s good to hear. Do you mean she just wants a root or she wants another kid? Lol.
Yeah you’re right about your proviron research but despite what it scientifically does. Alot of people on the gear hard, or on heavy TRT doses, really feel it helps with libido.
But like I said same thing with the DIM. Try it for a week. It’s only a supplement. It can deplete the body of certain estrogen and you may experience crazy hard or intense erections as certain estrogen play a role in libido. Give it a go man

I talk about proviron often in my thread because I felt like it would be of supreme benefit to me.
So far, my trials have not been successful. I believe that has to do with my insane levels of SHBG. However, I intend to experiment with an increased dose and frequency of Proviron, while NOT reducing or eliminating my Danazol to see if it will give me the HORN DOG libido I would like to see return.
There really is a lot of research on Proviron, but rarely do you find that many reviews, or more specifically, successful reviews.
(Just so I don’t cross any lines with anyone, Proviron is LEGAL in the country where I am located when I obtain it).
Thanks for the info.
I am going to ask my dr if he has experience with it. I believe it’s taken orally.
@traveling-man: have you ever played around with buspar or Wellbutrin? They can help w libido and arousal. I had a few days where I felt insanely aroused on Wellbutrin, but it didn’t last.
Now I’m trying buspar which I think may be slowing increasing arousal and certainly libido.
Yes, Proviron is an ORAL drug. The only pill strength I have found is 25mg.
I have only heard of Wellbutrin and Buspar here on the boards.
I did look up Wellbutrin because I have read about it less …
According to a survey of psychiatrists, it is the drug of choice for the treatment of SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction,
I have never taken any SSRIs so I don’t know anything about them.
BTW, I noticed KSMAN wrote about Wellbutrin here.
Did you end up trying Proviron yet??? How are the old stags coming along 
???
Any improvements roscoe88? Also been in the same boat for some time, just been natural for a while. No dice on that route that’s for sure.
Not really. Currently on an EOD protocol and awaiting blood results.
I did get a little positive libido from either this new protocol OR the fact I have been playing around with low dose buspar for the past couple weeks. I think it’s the buspar that had been giving me some libido/arousal. But taking too much of it will make one go in the opposite direction. So still messing with it… but it’s about the only thing that’s helped.
U still getting the double orgasms?
Nope that only happened once. But the shots are more powerful.
The effects of the buspar May have worn off. Not sure yet.
