Wife's Blood work

**David LoPan** · 01-26-2021, 05:56 PM

Could use some help understanding my wife's blood work. This is way out of my scope and she does not see the doctor for a week.

51 F - Still has periods and works out 4-6 times a week. Not a bodybuilder, just staying fit and wanting to lose some extra weight. Been at the gym for a couple of years, does cross-fit type HITT, some weight training, and cardio workouts.

Estradiol <24 Pg/mL (No Reference range)
Progestrole <0.5 ng/mL (no reference range)
Testosd Total 14.6 ng/dL (9.0-55)
Testos Free 0.4 pg/mL (1.1-5.8)
SHBG 342.8 (11.7-137.2)

All other blood work was normal and middle of the limits, no health issues, but does have one major development. Total lack of sex drive.

Any thoughts?

Well, with low estrogen and Progesterone she's probably a candidate to replace both as she's heading into menopause. Both are available in creams.
And yes, low E & P will cause that side effect. Just like low T in men.

Thanks KelKel, she is going to the doctor to look into the pellets. The high SHBC is what caught my attention.

Yes it's up there and makes me curious whether it's accurate. That said, if pellets are used when T rises shbg drops.

Update, wife's doctor reviewed her blood work. She is getting pellets on Monday. I know a couple of girls that work there and they said I am going to be so excited next week after they start to work. Might be time to up my test, been running my trt low due to her lack of interest in the bedroom.

That's awesome! Add some cialis and have Trimix on stand-by! Update this and let us know how quickly she feels better.
