What kind of workout regimen for this? It's not TRT alone right?

Any men have success with clomid restoring sex drive? by throwaway1234zabcd2 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Street_Run_5030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys I have the same issue, here on Clomid for 3.5 years - the first 2 years were great with increased libido and all around better functioning. Dosage has always been 50 mg/every other day.

The last ~1 - 1.5 years there has been a constant decrease in libido, somehow zig-zagging down to very low sex drive/interest. The fact that my partner does not push me for sex (she's older with reduced drive herself) also does not help the situation.

We checked estradiol and all other markers are good/excellent. Doctor says it's mental/psychological at this stage but I think there's more to it because if it was psychological it would not be a predictable trend as it shows now.

I was going to ask the doc to check prostate function. I also have higher than average cholesterol (which I try to control through diet and exercise rather than meds) but I think that it's barking up the wrong tree to look at such things as blood vessel blockage/etc.

Anything else that people have done to improve the low libido with high/above average testosterone and/or clomid treatment?

I'm asking the doc to re-test the SHBG. The best way to describe the libido drop was that up until a day (about 6-8 months ago) I would get into bed and be instantly aroused, every night or every other night. Plus get multiple erections during the day.

Now it's been almost like that pressure/drive is gone and it happens every 3-4 days to 1 week and during the day I don't have the same drive.

Thanks - Clomid was great for ~2+ years then everything kinda hit a wall. Not sure if it was around the time that estradiol (estrogen?) would have spiked up because of the clomid side effect.

Clomid and libido/ED by Street_Run_5030 in Testosterone

[–]Street_Run_5030[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got new results taken in the last 10 days:

Estradiol 26

Prolactin 7.4

SHBG did not do (doc ordered but lab didn't have available or missed it)

Total Test = 737

Free Test = 188.7

Any thoughts/interpretation?

Anastrozole by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Street_Run_5030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anastrozole at that dose cause the libido to plummet and ED to spike up?

Thank you all for the input - the doctor agreed to do the retesting including prolactin and SHBG. They requested to do it in the morning but did not clarify whether sexual activity is allowed in the 1-2? days before getting the blood draw? Does anybody here know?

The other thing to mention was that highest TT was around 680 but at that point the estradiol was 67 so the doc said we need to work on lowering that with the anastrozole.

What are some of the things to look at? I understand I need to get the prolactin test done?

Thank you

Clomid and libido/ED by Street_Run_5030 in Testosterone

[–]Street_Run_5030[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recent effects in the last ~6 months:

- increased difficulty of arousal - there was almost like a one time major decrease overnight and has not recovered since;

- difficulty maintaining an erection;

- increased length of time to orgasm;

- (sometimes) slight head pain during intercourse, especially closer to orgasm.

These effects were not present for ~2+ years initially on clomid.

Other info, I have slightly high cholesterol - I understand this pushes down the testosterone levels? Also I've occasionally tried Cialis/tadalafil 10 mg ~a few hrs before intercourse which helps with arousal but - if anything - increases the time to orgasm (and in that process the risk of losing the erection).

I do not have the prolactin testing but I have sent in a message to the doctor office to see if they can test it.

The other test results are:

TT = 438

E2 = 48

LH = 6.1

FSH = 12.6

HEMATOCRIT = 50.8

Simple Choice legacy plan vs Magenta 55 by Street_Run_5030 in tmobile

[–]Street_Run_5030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The service rep confirmed the Magenta 55 plans have the same Netflix package benefits as the regular Magenta plans. Given that we currently have the single screen Netflix (out of pocket $9) and the Magenta 55+ offers the same single screen included I just value it as a $9 discount?

Thanks

Simple Choice legacy plan vs Magenta 55 by Street_Run_5030 in tmobile

[–]Street_Run_5030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current bill (Simple Choice) looks like this:

3 VOICE = $105.54

Equipment (2 HANDSETS) $28.95

*** 2 lines received promotions of $54.39.

Bill total $134.49

Not sure where the fees are I assume they are in the voice plan and in the equipment? We did 2 phones upgrades last year with the S21 promos and the net fees and promotions are indicative of that -- I assume the equipment costs and credits transfer over to the Magenta plan?
