    i mean yeah i get that it changes the way that your sex drive feels and all but almost everyone reports having significantly lower libido on e i think.

            usually testosterone is the hormone that drives those sorts of feeling no matter the sex, you should get your levels checked.

            in my case i have no libido at all, its like estrogen nuked my ebility to even feel horny

              My t is as close to zero as possible, I’m on a mono e dose, prog and decapetyl which all block t at least to some extent

              (Inb4 someone says I’m horny cause of prog not e, no I was like this before prog too, prog just made it a bit worse)

                how old are you roughly? what is your dose of e? and do you have actual blood tests?

                sorry for asking so many questions lol

                  18yo, 7mg/10 days EEn.

                  I don’t have any actual blood tests with this regimen past DHT which was low.

                  but on an old dose of 2mg sublingual every 8 hours and a 50mcg patch switched twice a week (idk why I was prescribed this, weird ass doctor.) I had 0.101ng/ml T and 296pg/ml E2. So on the regimen I’m on now it should be basically zero

                    i’d say up it to 8mg een every 9 days and see what happens, im the same age as you and i only started to feel better in terms of dysphoria/libido when i increased it to that, usually your testosterone levels at 18-19 will be way higher than they would usually be because your body is trying to finish up puberty

            i get it ig, the libido i still have on e makes me feel really gross sometimes. there’s not really a good way to deal with it tho… maybe you can try high doses of spiro like that other commenter said but that would be really annoying and expensive and might not even work.
