My experience was pretty similar to yours Derek. Even before my testosterone was first measured as on the rise my libido had improved significantly. My testosterone at 12 months 18nmol/L and by Feb. '25 it jumped right up to 27 nmol/L. I didn't notice any libido difference between the 18 measurement and the 27 figure. At the same time even though my testosterone levels are surprisingly high, I haven't reverted to teenage level testosterone madness. Other factors must be involved. Maybe the tie between libido and testosterone isn't a direct relationship?
Andy wondered in another thread, if there is some sort of testosterone bounce in the post HT period. I'll able to contribute another test result in a few months., plus I'll dig around in my records for a pre cancer testosterone result.
I'm not entirely excited by the return of testosterone in that my psa, which was resolutely stuck on <0.01 for my entire treatment period and for about 8 months after that, has now jumped to .6. As has been pointed out here before, if you still have a prostate you can have a return of psa in the wake of treatment. For now, I choose not to worry about it and I wonder if it could be exacerbated by my very high testosterone level, but, time will tell.
