OK libido and erections with low T = pervert rapist when on HRT?

Great libido and erections with low T = pervert rapist when on HRT?

While I think libido is a mind issue, I'm having surprisingly good libido and erections on low T (always below 300).

Will I turn into a pervert rapist when on HRT?
Especially if aiming for the upper part of the normal range?

I've tried some tamoxifen to boost test and it DID both reduce libido and erection quality with some nasty headaches.

The reason I'll try HRT is because of fatigue.
Somehow thyroid meds ain't working properly for me, despite great labs.
Endo says thyroid labs are now as good as they can be.
So only low T remains as the possible cause of fatigue.

prob just enjoy it more... at first you may be more crazy but after years on hrt its same crap to me. but i always had SUPER high libido all my life (yet only been with a few (under 10) women , just du to how picky i am and other things i guess.
my point is you will still be you. just maybe your standards MIGHT drop a few points and you will look at women you may not have and think some nasty things lol.

What are your thyroid numbers? Have you checked rt3?

You can be hypothyroid with really good thyroid labs if rt3 is too high.

I'm sure my wife has something up with her thyroid.. her doc says her panel looks fine. Not sure if they checked rt3. Do they normally check it in a typical panel or do you have to ask?

rT3 ain't available here anywhere, not even on advanced labs.

My Free T3 and free T4 were at midrange when on 50 mcg Levothyroxine yet feeling extremely hypo.
I felt the same, or perhaps even worse, when using 75 or 100 mcg T4.
So yes it might well be excess rT3.
Dr said thyroid labs look good already and that low T may be cause of my fatigue.

Studies show TRT increases T4 to T3 conversion.
So I'm almost sure I'll give HRT a try.

Thanks for your kind replies buddies.

t4 can be converted to t3 or rt3. The stanard medical approach is to keep giving more t4 untill your numbers look good. However, if you are converting t4 to rt3 instead of t3 giving you more Levothyroxine can make you more hypo because of more rt3 conversion. So this is probably why you felt worse on highee doses.

To fix high rt3 you need to take t3 only (cytomel) to stop the production of t4 and the production of rt3. This takes about 12 weeks. After it works you will feel hyper and need to lower t3 dose.

I think you're on the money with HRT. In my opinion low T or free T can lead to hypothyroidism. Look into the t3 only protocol for high rt3 as well as HRT I think would go a long way to improve quality of life.
