So your prolactin is high and your DHEA and cortisol are high... So do you have hair loss?
Not really. Since quitting Finasteride about 2 years ago, I haven't experienced too much hair loss progression. Maybe a tiny bit at the hairline. Why do you ask?
I should also mention that "Test 1" is actually the more recent test of the two. Is 17 still high for prolactin?
My worst side is that I have had a 0% sex drive for the entirety of these two years. Any further advice?
17 is very high. Around 5 is ideal.
So you don't think my prolactin is a concern?

Yes, but Brix already mentioned that
Ok, good to know. I guess maybe the Ella protocol might be a good idea for me if my progesterone proves to be elevated?

I think Ella works best for those in the beginnings phase of PFS, where most of the hormones are still producing fine, except for a highish progesterone.
Those are just my thoughts and observations, though. It didn’t do anything for longer sufferers such as me, but helped others who aren’t as far down the line.

Do you have any advice on what I might want to do, given my hormonal profile, to improve libido issues?
In relation to the Ella protocol, does this mean that PFS seems to get progressively worse across time?

Just give ella a try. Perhaps adding progesterone to it later on. Check the threads around here. Some are getting great results by it.
And yes, your body will get more unbalanced the longer this continues. I’m a PFS vet of 14 years, but found this place just last year. Try ella and live a healthy lifestyle. Read the ‘Electrolyte protocol for improved health’ as well. I’d advice a hair test as the first step. It’s all there. You will be cured

That's rather unfortunate to hear. I had hoped my state would get better as time went on, not worse. 14 years for you, have you consistently gotten worse? Have none of your symptoms improved?

I asked about hair loss, because Roddy and Peat basically state that there is high Cortisol and high Prolactin in balding.
I would give Helen's advice and try Pine Pollen with Vitex. Vitex is known to lower prolactin. You can also try Mucuna . But definitely try Pine Pollen coupled with VItex. Lower your ejaculation frequency to 1 or 2 times a week as well.

Thanks for the information.
I will look into Pine Pollen/Vitex. I was going to go the route of caber or prami, do you think Pine Pollen/Vitex is a better option?

definitely safer, I like herbs , from god . Helen is recommending Pine+Vitex for people who want to get a quick fix. and it might stick. Vitex is progesterone, which should lower Prolactin.
