Hi I’m 28yr in RN nursing school. Back in January I notice i was having issues getting a erection. Never had an issue like this before. Ive had always had a healthy sex life. So i decided to go to my Primary care doctor but he sent me to a Urologist which ran some blood work. The results showed
Estradiol=34,
FSH=2.6,
LH=2.4,
Prolactin=8.0,
Free.T=13.3,
Total.T=317,
TSH=1.280,
DHT=32ng,
VatminD=14 which is really low
Prolactin=11.3,
Thyroxine (T4)=9.1
He told me he didn’t see anything wrong with my labs just that i had a major Vitamin D deficiency and prescribed me 50,000I.U (D3) . I told him that from what I have read that It seems to me that my testosterone was low. He told me that I was wrong and i fall in the normal range. About a month later i started to notice that I was no longer getting a morning erection and my libido basically went completely away and my energy was completely done by the afternoon. I got tired of going back and forth with my Urologist so I decided to find a new one.
I am now on HCG mono therapy EOD 500iu. The first 3 weeks were great. I had great morning wood again and energy. After the 4th week morning wood started to diminish and so did my energy. Went back to the doctors for a follow up for blood work. The results came back
Total T= 803ng
Free T= 24.5 ng
Estradiol= 62
Estradiol ultra sensitive= 74pg
DHT= 67ng
I told hime that I felt that my estradiol was way to high and if i Could start a A.I. He said yes and now I’m taking Arimdex .5 once a week but every time i take the Arimdex it makes me feel weak and I feel like the physical shape up my penis shrivels up and feels like the blood inside of it drains away. I was wondering if anyone had any opinons on my situation about my estradiol and also about taking Arimadex or even staring TRT its self. Not to sure if I’m ready to go that route to actually start taking exogenous testosterone but I’m open to opinions if you think it will help me better then HCG mono therapy
