Long story-short, mid-30's started TRT about three years ago due to constant ED issues, turns out my test was around 270. It was always very hit or miss, there was improvement but it was ok at best.
About summer of last year I feel I finally hit a really good point. 200mg of test split into two doses weekly, 500iu HCG split into two doses, 5mg cialis daily AND against common thinking I upped my AI (exmestane) to 12.5mg daily, which seems fairly high, but I was actually doing quite well. Sex drive was finally very reliable, good energy etc. I had some mild gyno on one nipple that was starting to flair a bit but otherwise felt damn good.
Important point, this was research chem exemestane from a reliable source on here.
Around this time is when the RC's got banned so I ordered some actual exemestane. Meanwhile I decided to treat the gyno with a real mild 4 week Letro "blast", i did 1/4 daily the first week and then 1/4 twice a week for three weeks. Killed the gyno.
Second Important point, that first week on daily letro I felt the most amazing I ever have. I was up at 4 A.M. full of energy and just needed sex 24/7.
By that time my brand name exemestane arrived. I gave it a few weeks to let my estrogen rebound back a bit and then went back to my usual protocol. It didn't work anymore. No erections, no libido, tired, feel like crap. I've been like this for about four months, tried sleeping with a few women, took a 20mg cialis earlier on and even with that I couldn't get hard enough to do anything, super embarrassing.
I went off all AI's for a month, just Test and HCG, so get a fresh blood test. At my trough (injected Monday, tested Thursday morning before injection) my total test was 950 and my estradiol was at 30.
I'm really at a loss.
This has been extremely frustrating as I was perfectly fine and dialed in for most of last year and now nothing seems to work. I can induce a temporary libido boost if I pop an entire Letro pill, not that I'm doing that regularly, but I'm just experimenting as an E2 level of 30 on no AI really doesn't seem like I convert to estrogen very much, yet I seem to do better when my estrogen gets somewhat tanked. The weirdest part is that I've gone back to my exact doses I was using last year and they do nothing now, I can't imagine the RC Aromasine being better quality than the real deal.
Any input is appreciated.
