Low test/sex drive.

[serbyte]

I just got my results from my doctors office, these tests were taken a year ago when i was 20 before i took any gear.

Test 375
Free test 128

This is within normal range, but it seems pretty low for my age, i was 20 at the time of the test. I went to the doctor because i had very low sex drive. This all started when i went on a near anorexia diet. I was eating only protien and almost zero carbs and zero fat for a few months, i was also insanely dependant and addicted to ephedra at this time. I was also eating Very low calories. This was 2 years ago and my sex drive hasnt been back to normal since then. Is it possible that this diet gave me low test production. If so is there any way to get it back through the use of HCG and or clomid. I am currenly 5 days into my clomid therapy after my first cycle which was 7 weeks of 40mg Var ED.

Please help me guys. Low sex drive sucks ass. I can get it up, but i dont think about sex at all. There have been times where I have gone without fuking, or even jerking off for like a month. I dont even remember what morning wood feels like.

testosterone is only part of the sex drive thing

if you are depressed no matter how much test you have (free or bound) the desire prolly won't be there

 

[glennds]

isn't this something a urologist does? is this the type of doc you saw? serb your situation sounds a little scary for a guy so young. maybe you should consult a urologist if you have not already. your insurance would cover this type of thing. good luck.

endocronologist

endocronologist

really? what exactly does a urologist do? and what exactly does an endocronologist do?

 

[serbyte]

Do you guys think that this is low for my age?

i might be wrong but i thought urologist only delt with sexual reproductive systems.... endo's deal with all hormones in the human body?

but i am not 100% sure about that.....

 

[glennds]

serb i don't really know the significance of your numbers but you gotta go with what your symptoms are. whatever is going on it is not the end of the world. maybe you can do some research online about this before seeing a doc that specializes in this field, whether it is a urologist or an endocronologist. maybe it is a temporary thing you are going thru.

temporary like for 2 years, i dont think so. I am the most undepressed person too. My doc tried telling me that it was all in my head, and to not stress about it. Its been a year since then and its still not back. Im going to an endocrinologist a week or two after my clomid is done. I even tried dostinex and that has helped a little, but not much.

Serb, wait till you know your recovered. (at the level of your last test) Your pretty young so don't fuck up your endoc sys by not letting the doc know the truth. If your afraid to tell the truth, hit me up and I may have a doc ref for ya.

1. How long after you completely ended your anorexia episodes and resumed normal balanced diet, did you make the testosterone lab test?
Anorexia and especially low fat consumption has been linked with low test production. It's well documented, that's why I'm asking how long after you made the test.

2. Low test has been linked with depression, but it's not a gauge.

3. In the past year or so did you gain any muscle naturally? What are your stats? with very low test levels it would be harder gaining muscle for sure.

4. Is your problem libido or maintaining a good erection ? Say you are super excited, is your instrument functioning properly? You gotta distinguish Sex Drive with Sexual Dyfunction.

5. You said Dostinex helped a bit. How much did you take and for how long exactly? Dostinex is a great drug for libido, however it may take about 2-3 weeks for a full effect with a good dose. Also, it's libido enhancing effect is not evident in everyone.

6. Out of pure curiosity, how much did you gain and retained after your last var cycle.

Junk

 

[serbyte]

I took the test about a year after my semi-anoriexic diet.

I gain muscle pretty easily but i also put on fat very easily. My metabolism is very slow, and i gain weight by eating 2500-3000 calories. I used to have a good metabolism untill the diet. Right now i am a little over 180 at about 10%bf 6'1". I gained about 5 pounds off of the var cycle while dropping a percent or 2 in bodyfat.

I did 2 weeks of var this winter and had to stop because of injury. When i stopped, i began eating junk for a week, and i stored a good ammount of fat behind my nipples. I still have the fat, and i thought it was gyno, except that there is no lumps, only fat. I dont know if this could have been do to the low test after the cycle or due to high prolactin level.

By low sex drive, i mean that i dont think about sex, unless there is a hot girl in front of me. I have no problem gettin it up, but after i go once, i loose all ambition to go for round 2.

Before that diet, i used to fuk my girlfriend 4-5 times a day, and could not go longer than a day without jerking off. Now i dont even think about jerking off. I also dont get hyper-aroused-super-hard anymore, i just get the regular hard.

I noticed some results with the dostinex, but it was durring the end part of my var, when sex drive is supposed to be low anyways. I stopped taking it cuz im not sure if im going to screw something up hormonally. Do you have to cycle that shit or what.

Last year I went on some stupid fad diet in an attempt to loose fat , I had cut out all animal fat , no cheese, beef, butter, etc.. and was pretty much living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, egg whites, protein drinks, and fruit.

Although I got very lean, I was about 5'10 187 I had lost all sexual desire and strength. On top of everything else my mood was deteroating. I felt fatigued all the time. I literally felt like a 70 year old man.

I dont need any studies to tell me that saturated fats are very important part of my diet..

my .02 cents.

Well, from what I recall the total is within the "normal" range of 300 - 1100, but the free seems high, although that may depend on the testing, but when I went anything higher than 47 was a reason for concern. What were your PSA level?

 

[serbyte]

Im not sure what PSA level is. I got the test done by my doctor, and i didnt request any aditional tests. Im going to see a endo in about a month. Does anyone know of a good endocrinologist in the Chicago area?

PSA=Prostate specific antigen. This states if you prostate cancer. No further tests on this is good!

 

[confid12000]

Please, can someone help me with the equivalences between US and European Test readings? I get 4.4 ng/ml for Test and 9.33 pg/ml for free-Test. How does that translate to US standards? What units are the figures of 375 and 128 that serbstyle1 provides?
