Hormones balanced, Libido still low

[hammerheart]

Wow this post blew up. To answer a few questions all at once...

No history of smoking cigarettes but a few years of frequent marijuana use ending 4 years ago.

I have had my thyroid checked I got tsh pulled 3 times all coming back around 1.5-1.8 on a scale of 1-4.8 roughly. The last time was a few months ago so I will get free t3/t4 checked next round of bloodwork as I definately get mood swings, almost bi-polar like mood swings.

I am not currently on medication for anxiety but recently I started a cognitive behavioural therapy workbook and I also do some form of breathing exercise every night. Still isn't enough sometimes so my doc prescribed me klonopin and I will take it only for panic attack situations maybe 1-2x/week.

My dhea has always come back high via bloodwork but I should also get my pregenelone checked.

What exactly is this pt141? I should mention my libido problem stems more from lack of desire as opposed to lack of erections. If on occasion the desire is there the erections always follow..

Remember to get Free T4/T3, total ones are of no use. Anyway, to my understanding, fluctuation in E2 are responsible for mood swings.

Well a couple in a weeks isn't going to hurt you... breathing exercise are good. Also try PMR exercises, they helped a lot for me.

High DHEA might be just a narrow lab range issue... what's the value? Cortisol is what you want to check, not pregnenolone (which isn't available in most labs).

Pt-141 or bremelanotide is an highly experimental molecule that can activate the nervous system in a way that can stimulate arousal; it's nothing you should be interested in.


Good thing your dick is working. That means testosterone is doing its work where it is supposed to; the problem is elsewhere.

What about SHBG? I went reading through your old threads and it was something like 47. That's high, have you pulled it recently?
