I have back on the Androgel for a few weeks now. Taking .25mg of adex E3D. I have a feeling that my low libido is not caused by low T. I will be 59 in a month. So maybe this is to be expected. My libido is almost non existent. Can guys my age reply and let me know if this is the norm for men our age.
Been back on the Androgel, but no libido

I am not your age (yet) but you should have a libido. You are not dead.

Grrr...tren Good
how much, one or two packets or number of pumps, whats the blood results say your number is ?
Yep, that's what I thought Meg. I can get myself real hard, but the drive is just not there. I'm doing 4 pumps of androgel 1.62. Only doing .25 mg of adex E3D. I don't understand, I have been getting strong night time wood. I have been relying on porn on the phone to get hard before my girl gets there. It's probably been a few months since I could get hard without stimulation. Is there anything I can take to increase the libido? Horny goat weed does not work.
I'm doing 4pumps of androgel 1.62 for about a month. On my last blood test my test was 750, but my E2 was 14. This was from doing 2 pumps a day and 1mg of adex EOD. Don't know what my total test is now. I get strong night time wood. Is this not a good indicator of E2 being at a good level. More and more I think the Zoloft messed up my libido. Was on it for 6 years.

I don't understand. Are you having difficulty getting erections? Or do you get erections without issue, but you don't have the desire/energy to have sex? Which is it? They are two very different things. The first is Erectile Disfuction which could be solved with daily Cialis at 5mg. The second is perhaps more complicsted,but could be related to testosterone/estradiol/prolactin levels.
I just want to make sure we are all on the same page when you say you have labido problems.

Seems he can get erections just fine but the drive isn't there. Libido is tricky one. If you're able to get hard from porn, but not your girl something's off.
First off 1mg of arimidex EoD sounds rediculous.
Second I think you're driving your estrogen too low.
Great nighttime and morning wood with low libido is a general indicator.
I'd switch to aromasin since you're applying the gel so frequently. It might be easier to dial yourself in.

I can get an erection if I jerk off. The desire is is just not there. I have the energy though.
Wow, great night time and morning wood and low libido is an indicator of low e2? That is completely contrary to what a guy on the yahoo hypogonadism forum says. He says if you get good night time wood, your e2 is in the sweet spot.
I'm not doing 1mg of adex EOD any more. I'm only doing .25 EOD. Could this amount still be enough to drive e2 too low?

Can you please post your most recent blood work? Especially Total Testosterone, Estradiol and Prolactin. Free Testosterone would be nice to see too.
If you don't have recent blood work, go to Private MD - Buy Lab Tests Online and get the Hormone Panel for Males and the Prolactin lab.

Your E2 is too low.

I think OP has since greatly reduced his AI dosage, so that is out of date.

Honestly I don't believe in the whole if you get nighttime wood your E is in the sweet spot.
Everytime I've had nighttime wood my E has been low. Guys would just use this as an indicator, bro science imo.
Morning wood is a different story though.
By the way, guys on 500mgs a week test steroid cycles generally take .25mg arimide EoD, keep that in mind.

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder about the nighttime wood myself. Are you serious! What do you think about .25mg once a week.
Correct, I went to .5 EOD when I found out my E2 was 14. Been on .25 EOD for about 10 days now.
At what level should it be? I have only had E2 tested two times, and it was low both times.

E2 sensitive assay generally should be between 20-40. The regular assay will often come in 10-20 points higher than sensitive at the lower levels. It is more accurate at higher levels.
Which assay did you have done?

what was your e2 before taking an ai?
You might not need one at all.
If you post your lab ranges we can tell but I'm guessing you had the regular one seeing how much ai you were taking.
Libido tends to rise as estrogen goes up, to a point of course, but it should definitely rise if you let your estrogen come up.
14 is way to low, especially for the normal panel.
