    You need to get blood work done. Nobody can effectively guess what may be going on without some bloodwork!

    Agree totally, BW. But I am curious. What do you mean when you said "when I keep them open and hanging" regarding your balls?

    You can have them all run at once probably less and than a hundred bucks, it's like 1/4 to 1/2 that at my doctor but no matter the cost cheaper than a wrecked sex life and poor health for sure.

    Red X: Would be helpful (to me at least) if you posted the reference ranges associated with each item on your test.

    I don't think your DHT level is causing your problem. Your prolactin level is on the high side of normal, but I don't think that's necessarily the problem either.

    Are you having stress? Lack of sleep?

    While your DHT level is high I don't believe that to be the root of your problem. Prolactin on the high side of normal *could* be contributing or the root cause itself, but I can't say for certain based upon the labs presented. What I can say is that a three week PCT of nolva is garbage.

    If I were you I would look in to a PCT restart protocol and go from there. I am not saying go that route for certain, but I would explore it in light of what I would deem a failed PCT.

    While your numbers return no glaring concerns or deficiencies disruption of your HPTA axis is complex in and of itself and as such I advise PCTs run a minimum of six weeks. I may be in the minority here in that regard, and that's fine. An HPTA restart may help to rectify your previous lackluster PCT. Good Luck.

    Hey guys i just got my bloodwork and i ordered the complete panel in Privatelabs although i dont see that they included the Prolactin levels.

    Is it referenced under another name?

    And what should be good Prolactin levels?

    Well,

    TT is lower than expected
    FT is actually excellent
    DHT very high but not that relevent really as long as hairs not falling out in clumps...
    E2 excellent
    FSH bit low but ok
    LH ok
    SHBG great
    Prolactin is your issue as the guys said above. It is linked to low T and low sperm production.

    Cabergoline will help at a low dose, maybe .25 x 2 per week. B6 can also help. Fix it and your libido will be fine and I'd bet your test will rise as well.

    I don't know the medical facts behind this but I don't see dht being a negative to libido. Ever. I run something like masteron for instance and I become one sick sexual degenerate. Seriously. I have thoughts sometimes that make me question myself.

    DHT is not negative toward libido. Quite the opposite. It's what makes us men basically and helps libido. The dht range means little to nothing actually. It's how you feel.

    .25mg caber twice per week will crush prolactin. Going from memory B6 is around 300mg. Caber is quick and B6 will obviously take longer and the degree of effectiveness per individual will obviously vary.

    Right on as usual, kel.

    Not only will the caber bring down the Prolactin levels libido will get a nice kick as well...I take it and I know it works for sure

    It's long term use.

    Dosages for your purposes are .25 mg every 3 days or twice weekly.
