I’m not sure what the norm is, but it was early 40’s for my wife.
Mine is only 33, had our 1st and only child 3 years ago and ever since that pregnancy her issues with libido and such began. Her endo mentioned it’s normal after pregnancy, that it took her (the endo) 5 years for her libido etc to come back to normal I said fuck that. It’s obvious screwed up hormones, why would you just ride it out instead of looking for the cause and addressing it? Docs are stupid.
I had mine go straight to an endocrinologist and skip her doctor because her primary is an idiot that probably would’ve said something along those lines. Her endo asked if she had gone to her doctor 1st my wife said nope and the endo had no issues with it and seems somewhat understanding of the situation. My wife does my pins and is cool with me being on TRT and now blasting and crusing. My Testosterone levels didn’t come back in my 20s been on TRT since. Had conversations, sort of using my own personal experience when I was the one with no libido no drive etc due to screwed up hormones from cycling made it easier to put things into perspective for her and understand that she may just be on the same boat I once was just for obviously different reasons. If yours ain’t open at all to the idea of simply doing bloods to “see” then that’s a tough mountain to climb.

Female hormones are much more complex than ours. Before hopping on trt you have to understand that ovulation plays a big role in test results. In reality she hasn’t reached her peak yet. It happens around mid 30’s to 40. Chances are very good that her drive, tiredness etc are just a result of stress. It’s a very strong influence on our well being. Kids, home, bills, on and on are all part of that.
Of what dosage/mixture though. 50mg/ml vs 250 mg/ml makes a huge difference at 1cc
Test C is cypionate and hes clearly joking. 20 mg of a long ester every week or two is around the avg fem trt dose.Of what dosage/mixture though. 50mg/ml vs 250 mg/ml makes a huge difference at 1cc
She'll be fucking you with her 6" clit in no time
Two that I would look into would be progesterone and thyroid.
I’ll have to look at her bloods again, but everything looked good at first glance. If her libido was better her vitamin d levels would be higher that’s for sure! Lol
Progesterone is very important. You may want to get that too by what ever means needed.Wife getting bloods done in a couple days after I suggested it thanks to this thread. Same issues, non existent libido low energy the whole 9. Her endo requested thyroid, test, estradiol and quite a few more I can’t remember off the top of my head. No progesterone however. Looking forward to the results. Thankful for this thread
Thanks Matt, I wanted her to test for progesterone based on what I’ve been reading, but seems her endo asked questions regarding pregnancy and since we’re not trying to get pregnant she disregarded the progesterone labs, I could be off here a little, but that’s what I understood. Might have her doing bloods privately to check for it.
To disregard progesterone bc you're Not trying to have kids is basically the same as saying we are going to disregard estrogen in men bc they are Not trying to become women. It's an essential female hormone that has way more function, regulation and cause/effect beyond pregnancy. I'm no endo but I know for a FACT that my wife needs progesterone to feel normal and have a normal libido. It's part of her hrt along with Test and dhea. She still makes her own estrogen and the dhea gives it a bump. We could draw the comparison that some endos want to keep men's estrogen tanked as well when we both know how important some estrogen is for longevity, health, happiness, sex drive, well being etc.
If there are any docs here please feel free to correct me but I've heard docs say the one thing they learn the least about is endocrinology. So in regards to their general knowledge regarding it it's not their fault. It's the fault of the ones that write the curriculum. I feel like the docs they do know what they are talking about and doing with endo is bc they took it upon them selves to learn it after med school on their own time. Again, I'm not a doctor so anyone feel free to correct me but that's just what I've heard from what I consider to be reliable sources.
I agree. I heard a urologist interviewed that said they spent about 2 weeks on hormones in school. Thankfully I was able to link up with a urologist that had an interest in bodybuilding and hormones.
For those of you with wives or female friends on HRT. Are any of them going their own way and driving the protocol themselves? Or are they all relying on the "professionals" to figure it out? I have a friend who is going through hell with her doctors and is now 5 years into it and still no real stability. I keep telling her to "get on the forums" but there doesn't seem to be much out there for women to discuss HRT. With the female HRT being more complicated it would seem a valuable resource.
Going through the same thing with mine man. She’s 36.
I’m sure you know you aren’t alone man. My wife had an emergency hysterectomy at 28. She’s about to be 30 now. We have fought and talked. Talked and fought. Kinda shitty to think your partner won’t want you for the rest of your lives. Her ob said it’s not your hormones, read this book, it’s your husband not understanding how to turn you on. Luckily for me my wife didn’t buy that. We got her into a clinic and it’s helping. Got a long road back to normal or better but atleast we are starting. Don’t know if I responded to you or more for myself.
