So been on trt was running a little bit high at 200 mg per week no ai protection revealed by blood work a month ago estrogen levels 47... only symptoms being low libido test levels were in the high 900 dropped trt down to 150 mg.... just had Bloods done again testosterone still in the high 900 estrogen was actually higher at 58 and had prolactin done for the first time ever ..revealed the number of 17..... what would cause my prolactin to be so high... I do have a supposedly non-functioning pituitary adenoma not a prolactinoma so I don't know what the heck's going on.... wondering if anybody has any thoughts can high uncontrolled estrogen cause prolactin to rise?

58 is definitely high enough to kill your libido. The high estrogen could be the cause of your prolactin issue. I would definitely get those 2 under control before running a cycle. High bf% is another cause of high estrogen that's why we preach under 15% minimum. 900 Test is a very good sweet spot for TRT. Your libido should be high.

Yeah I never had prolactin tested before I was shocked to see it high and I was assuming my estrogen would be lower dropping the test down I know the body fats an issue I'm running about 18 and 1/2 to 19% but I'm working on it.... sex drive over the last two months has definitely decreased as far as libido thank God for the new Cialis I just got[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]...... I think I'm going to drop the trt down to 100 mg and definitely plan on controlling those with aromasin on the way...

I think 150 is good you just need to lower your bf% and run an AI.

Ok.... this prolactin thing kind of got me a little worried I was thinking about skipping my pin this week even LOL.... on my way to Vegas tomorrow was going to hit it early... I think I'll be okay I'm definitely jumping on the aromasin been killing the treadmill and cutting and keeping an eye on the macros.

I would start Aromasin and maybe even a low dose of Caber or Prami. Once estrogen and prolactin are in check your libido will come back.

I had the EXACT same issues as you bro running a cycle at 18%. I thought I knew better and guess what.. estrogen at 54 even on Aromasin. I admitted I was wrong and started eating at a deficit and 2 years later I'm at 10.5%. No estrogen issues whatsoever.

For anyone wondering I've never had ai protection due to the fact that my doctor only has me on a trt dose of 150 mg every other week... which was unacceptable so I decided 2 self prescribe a little on the side with his prescription....

Hey man is this the first time you had high prolactin issues if so speak to a doctor man.

It is possible you are genetically prone to high prolactin. I would talk to your doctor about your estro and prolactin issue bro.

Yeah I've been seeing an endo he's got me on the trt I do have a pituitary adenoma very small though while checking for my cause of low testosterone they found it but he says non-functioning doesn't have anything to do with my hormones quote out of all my blood work over the last year-and-a-half we've never check prolactin

I'd be concerned but I wouldn't be freaked out. Get it under control and keep an eye on it. Especially if you run a 19-Nor.
