I've been on TRT for some years now to try and revitalize my libido. I've had many protocols in that time frame. Libido just has never returned for me.
My sweet spot for protocols seems to be around 120mg - 150mg weekly dose, injected multiple times a week. No HCG, No A.I. This helps me feel the best in all aspects of life except for libido, which is always low. However, libido is even more garbage if my protocol is bad.
Some background:
Previous protocol numbers:
I'm currently on 20mg of Propionate daily to experiment with a faster ester and see if it aromatizes a bit less.
For those of you that have had libido issues on TRT, how have you best addressed it?

Some background:
- 174lbs, 5'10", 32 y.o., male
- Diet is good, sleep is decent, stress is on the lower end
- Symptoms were ED and low libido that brought me on my TRT journey
- Pre-TRT my Total T was 182ng/dL (264 - 916) at 24 years old
- Jumped on TRT at 26 after spending a few years trying natural remedies for raising TT to no avail (diet, exercise, cardio, etc).
- My SHBG appears pegged at 19nmol/L (16.5 - 55.9). Keto doesn't raise it. Higher TRT doses don't lower it.
- I tend to aromatize quickly which has been an issue with HCG in the past
- When I've used HCG I've tried to keep it in check with A.I.'s but never felt good doing so
Previous protocol numbers:
- 210mg test Enanthate split into .15mg daily shots, shallow IM, No HCG, No A.I.
- TT: 1344 ng/dL (264 - 916)
- Free T: 32.3 pg/mL (8.7 - 25.1)
- Prolactin: 16.8 ng/mL (4 - 15.2) <--- this was a bit high, but may be an outlier, typically its around 10)
- Estradiol Sensative: 44.8 pg/mL (8 - 35)
- SHBG: 18.6 nmol/L
