No Libido ...low DHT I presume ...

[Roms]

Hi Guys,

I am currently treated for hypopituitarism meaning I am secondary (prednisolone,dhea,armour and HCG 800 ius EOD)

After a few months now on hcg only where I feel I am doing pretty good and my T levels seem ok as well as my E2 levels ... I am trying to find other causes that would explain my complete lack of sex drive.

I have been on TRT with very high levels of testosterone and I have been high and low on E2 but in every case I would never have any sexual thoughts or morning wood,never ...TT and free over the range with E2 at about 25 wouldn't do the trick.

Looking back on one of my latest result something puzzles me, I have a high progesterone level : 1.11 ng/ml (0.1-0.65).

I understand that high progesterone in men can block the convertion from Testosterone to DHT thus creating a low level of DHT that would lead to a low libido.

Sadly, informations on high progesterone in men are hard to find and I don't have yet a DHT test result.

I don't have yet my DHT results but according to my good testosterone/estradiol levels and and my complete lack of libido, I am really hoping to find a low DHT as the missing piece of the puzzle.

One of my last test in the morning after I had a 500 ius HCG shot during the evening showed a total testosterone of 836.28ng/dl.

Do you know if DHT participate on how you feel as well ?

If low DHT was my issue, would the use of proviron be one of the best option to increase it in a HCG only TRT ?


Have you heard anything like that before and do you know how to reduce progesterone ?

Thanks a lot for your input.
