    Good info, thank you

    With my blood work, do you think its normal to experience ED?
    Do you think I'm experiencing ED due to my past experience using AAS?

    Thanks,

    I don't know on the first question. We need a legit estrogen reading to know. Estrogen controls the male libido to a large degree, finding the sweet spot can be tricky but it's doable in time.

    Second question, eh, probably not. That was 7 years ago.

    I would say re-run some blood work. Make sure to get the following (in addition to what you have):
    DHT
    Thyroid panel
    CBC
    Lipid panel

    It would be nice to see what is going on here. Is the root of your issue physiological or psychological? Thyroid issues can masquerade as low t issues, as can low DHT. Are you on a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride, maybe?

    I'll second what Cylon posted, especially the DHT.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Man, that one gets overlooked way too often.
