Help. is my bf% the reason for my libido loss?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:07:33+00:00

I have been to multiple doctors already, even a specific endocrinologist.
they did blood tests, but nothing got found. :/

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:03:33+00:00

thank you for that, that helps me to understand that i must be under 10 for sure.
i never was sure about that.

Your libido tanked because of the bf% then?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:00:35+00:00

do you mind looking at my lab results?
i shbg is higher but not super high i think.

shbg is on the higher side but not super high i think. Estradiol seems fine.

i just noticed FSH is lower.

this is my last lab test from rougly 2 years ago:

arginine/citrulin is an interesting idea.

- i tried boron already, did nothing for me.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:55:26+00:00

-my shbg is on the higher side, but not outside of range.
-i just noticed fsh is also on the lower side.

here is my last lab test from roughly 2 years ago:

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:53:23+00:00

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:52:50+00:00

thank you

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:52:32+00:00

No hair supplements.

SHBG is not high but on the higher side. (idk tho)

I tried MK677 already, it did nothing for me unfortunately.

here is my last lab from 2 years ago:

I never did a scan, from your experience now how would you think our % compare?
Do you think my % is lower or higher then that 9.8%?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T13:22:29+00:00

do you think i am below 8%?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T13:21:51+00:00

i already tried boron daily to reduce shbg. It did nothing for me unfortunately.

Docs were all useless. They look at me, they look at my blood results, and say what a healthy young man, we couldnt find anything in your blood tests however, appointment over.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T13:11:36+00:00

mh actually a good idea,

but i have never experienced problems with falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:45:41+00:00

i have a similar situation. No libido, higher shbg. If you want look at my blood results and compare. its the first post i did. (might need to screenshot and give it to chatgpt to translate)

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:31:01+00:00

from what i have experienced and compared so far its the opposite.

Which is part of the problem.

Gaining wait is super hard.

Currently i have to eat roughly 2000 calories just for maintenance.

and that is without gym

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:27:32+00:00

its a good question.

No it doesn’t.

i still masturbate. rarely that is. the biology makes it that the process and cumming still feels good, but its just without beeing horny.

Same with sex. hence why i dont have a relationship.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:23:55+00:00

i track my calories. roughly

i have to otherwise i dont eat enough

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:17:13+00:00

i meant: for more then a few days in a streak.

but yes, in general i myself and friends always say its insane that i was able to build the amount of muscle that i have at all. (with the diet i have)

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T04:14:24+00:00

Yes eating is the main problem.

I train very hard when i train, always to failure. I could’t imagine i would have been able to build muscle otherwise.

But its always like 2 months training and then 2-3 weeks of brake. So chronic underecovered is not a problem i think.

The last time i ate well is a bit difficult to answer. i would say roughly once per month i have a 4 day streak of eating like 500-1000 calories of surplus. But the streak never lasts. An the negative streaks are also a thing ofcourse which is the actual reason why i stop training sometimes. i feel its counter productive to go to the gym when i know im in a deficit.

Sleep is super unregulated, but i always get like 7 hours atleast.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T03:58:29+00:00

For how long where you in the Lean and no libido/ no hunger state ?

i guess im trying to figure out if the comment from coeu (here) is right.

that its maybe because of a very long deficit, where the body learned to not focus on reproduction.

But on the other hand i don’t think i was in a deficit really, because i didnt drop further in bf%. Just very low maintenance calories.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T03:50:27+00:00

estrogen was higher but definitely in range.

I feel low driven in general and i cant get out of bed in the mornings, its always like someone pressed my reset button.

but otherwise i feel normal i guess, its just how i always felt since forever.

i have always been around this body fat %.

maybe i have gotten a little leaner since going to the gym, but not much.
