ED on DIY TRT

[Little Joe]

I am a 44 year old male on my own TRT of Test enan 100-150 mg week. I have been "on" for 12 years. I did a lot of AAS cycles, some pretty heavy, during my 30s but have been on self-administered TRT for the last 3 years without cycling.


I had blood work done and abnormal values are shown below:

Hemoglobin: 18.1 (reference range 12.6-17.7 g/dL)

Free Testosterone(Direct): 24.8 (reference range 6.8-21.5 pg/mL)


Serum testosterone and Estradiol were normal as shown below:

Estradiol, Sensitive 16 (reference range 3-70 pg/mL)

Testosterone, Serum 847 (reference range 348-1197 ng/dL)

I am having trouble getting and maintaining an erection during sex. I would greatly appreciate any advice for what I should do next to treat my ED. Please let me know if you have any questions.

many things can cause ED besides testosterone and E2. your E2 level are a little low and should be in the mid range of normal according to the majority of Dr. i have spoke to. what is your stress level like, physical and mental. have you had your thyroid checked or any other blood work?

100% your E2 (too low)

okay first of all what do you mean 100 to 150mgs ? That's a big jump ? Stick to ONE dose

Second, are you taking AIs ?

I was thinking the exact same thing?

What ai and what dose and how often ?

 

[Little Joe]

Thyroid hormones are normal.

I have not been taking any AI. I tried masteron enan at 100 mg per week for awhile. It might have helped at first but the benefit for erections did not seem last. I did notice some strength benefit though.

So an AI would help with the low E2? Which AI and dose is recommended?

I really appreciate your feedback.

Stress is not too bad lately. I had a lot of blood work done but these were the only abnormal values. Thyroid hormones were normal.

I was on 150 mg per week for a long time and dropped to 100 mg to see if it helped with erections. It did seem to help but did not solve the problem. But I am better in the gym on 150 mg per week.

Stay at 100mg Test and add 375-500ius /week of HCG . 6 months ago I also added a low dose HMG at 37.5mg a week. You feel a lot better and could cure your ED. You also need to donate blood every two months.

An AI would make things worse. Rawman was asking to see if that was driving your E2 down.

Thank you. I tried HCG and HMG in the past but it did not solve the problem. Also, I realized those labs are about a year old from when I was using 100 mg per week of masteron enan so maybe that is why my E2 was low?

I am not using masteron now, but I am still have erection problems. I will get new labs done soon and post the results.

I wonder if I have done irreparable damage?

LOL labs are a year old ? WTF MAn !! wasting your time and our time

1- Only be on TRT when you get labs done

2- Post your recent labs

3- No, you will be fine once we find out what hormone is out of control

As far as I can tell you, E2 is the reason why dicks go limp.... 80% of the time

I am sorry to waste your time, because I really value your input. And I apologize for the old labs, but my "issue" was the same then as now.

So I am aiming for an E2 level around 30-40 pg/ml? Besides total serum test and free test, are there any other hormones I need to check for the purpose of erectile dysfunction? Thanks.

They say btw 20 - 35

when you get REM sleep, and Morning wood like an a young boy, is when your E2 is balanced !

DHT, prolactin, SHGB,

I recommend you to create an account on allthingsmale.com/forum

It is mainly for TRT people, not steroid users... So people have lots of knowledge about TRT and what not.

Brother, regardless of bloods I was able to get a hard on (w/help from herbs) w/a t level of 83ng/dl! And when I got on hrt, I took DIM from piping rock and everything is in balance.
Get some cialis if none of the following work, and all are safe and I've taken-
Maca- 2-3 grams or 2-3,000mg
*Xanthoparmelia*- this stuff is awesome, respect the herbs.
And Barlowe's has many others, i like em. Quality at good price.
Also carry estrogen control.
Hope this helps.
