    Doc finally sent me for bloods

    After months of asking my gp to send me for tests as symptoms was getting worse she finally did. She sent for -

    Test-total/free
    Lh/Fsh
    Estrogen
    Prolactin

    Are these the correct ones for a male hormonal panel to see what's causing my ED or should there be more ?

    estrogen should be sensitive so it's more accurate, you should get a CBC and CMP as well

    • Total Testosterone
    • Bioavailable testosterone (aka Free and Loosely Bound)
    • Free Testosterone
    • SHBG
    • DHT (gel users especially pay attention to this)
    • Estradiol (specify “sensitive” assay for males)
    • LH
    • FSH
    • Prolactin
    • Cortisol
    • Thyroid Panel (complete)
    • CBC
    • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    • Lipid Panel
    • PSA (age dependent)
    • IGF-1, IGFBP-3 (if HGH therapy is being considered)
    • Vitamin D

    would be ideal but take what you can. Should also order some cialis from the site sponsor.

    What other symptoms are you experiencing?

    You on cycle? Sounds like your E2 is probably through the roof which can definitely cause ED issues.

    The above test will at least address the most important, which is if you recovered from your cycle. If not, do another PCT using clomid & Nolva and make sure your meds are legit as your previous may have been bunk.

    Were you not using an AI like arimidex while on cycle?

    Boxer wait till the BW comes back and lets evaluate it and go from there. Could be many things causing the issue, including just the psychological impact of one occurrence. Hang in there.

    Yea. Cialis won't really do anything if you have a loss of interest in sex. That's a whole other issue. Bw should give you a better picture of what's going on.

    Ill ask for the results when they are back, the doctor would usually just say they fine not even show them. If they are fine would anymore tests need to be run

    Well, you did not pull a lot of panels so we still need to wait and see. Remember as well that one doc's opinion of what's "fine" is not always the case. You need to see your numbers and be informed. It's your BW, you paid for it. Get a copy.
