Thanks surferjoe. I do not have low estrogen (378pg/mL out of a range 331-409) and as for dopamine? Well, I cannot say for sure, but my prolactin is not high (11.6ng/mL out of a range 1-22) so I would assume that my dopamine is not necessarily low, either. I am currently not using anything for prolactin, but what IS interesting is that back in June, in the first month of taking fenugreek, was the greatest surge of libido I have ever had... and then, it subsided but I assumed my body finally adjusted to the dose. As for testosterone, despite the fact that I am dominant in T, I am still within the normal range-- the small range considering the fact that women only need a little testosterone. So, although I am high for a woman, I am only high in comparison to my other hormones, really. I have never heard of Catuaba. Should that still be of help to me given the hormone levels I just presented?
