I have been on test cypionate 200mg every 2 weeks injections twice a week started 5 months ago with no issues. I felt great all around until a month ago when I stated experiencing ED and ejaculate issues.
My labs test 922 estradiol 67 . My doc gave me arimidex 1 mg every other day. I was placed on AI due to ejaculation problem. Is this dose too much? Or should I start with 0.5 mg every other day? Or should the test cypionate dose be lowered?
What are the ranges of your labs? Hard to give any advice without them. Do you have a complete panel you can post.
I would start with .5 3x per week. 1mg eod can crush you estrogen pretty quickly.
Is the ED full on no boner?
What are ejaculate issue or is this because no bonor?
How is labido?
Thes test level before starting TRT was 338 and estradiol within range. Oct test was 860 with no estradiol. There was no issues at all. December test 922 with the elevated estradiol shown on message. Sex drive is great , but got limp after 5 minutes even with help of sidenafil and hard to finish.
These are what I have.
Should I continue with 200 test every week twice a week and with the recommended 0.5 arimidex 3 times a week?
The libido is always up up just frustrating not able to finish due to the issues.
Also my doc only gave me 1 mg arimidex, can I split the pill?
Thanks a million!!
5 months? So your new to all this?
You don’t have an lab ranges? Is it quest?
Just so I am clear you are taking 200mg/wk total split into two shots?
Yes
This is not an ED thing. It’s a penile sensitivity issue. I have the same thing sometimes.
Do you masterbate a lot? Porn alot?
New to TRT
Those are the ones I have. Yes from Quest. I can cut the arimidex in half with no interference with the drug viability?
And yes a lots 3-4 times a day but lately unable to due to the inability to finish issues. Frustrating
I went back and looked at my quest ranges but they don’t make sense with what you are saying.
Total test is 250-1100ng/dl
Estrogen is 60-190pg/ml
Yes you can split the pill.
Did a quick AI search for Quest male estrogen ranges and it is showing 10-40pg/ML which is a different measurement range than my labs. This would make more sense as it is a little out of range.
Your not that far out of range. I would take .5 3x per week asstated prior and get labs done in 3-4 weeks and then you can adjust from there.
From personal experience it prob happened a couple times and now it’s in your head which can def cause issues. I would take a break from masterbating if you can. Do you have a partner? Sometimes the sensations we get from masterbating are different then with the partner and that’s when shit goes south.
For clarification you never taken anything before in the past?
They show it should be <39 pg/ml on my lab report. I tried to copy and paste but failed.
Yes I had without guidance and stopped. Until I started seeing a doctor for TRT
Yes I have a partner but not here now. How is it that the penis can get desensitized? I feel that as well glad u brought it up.
I will split the AI in half three times a week then because I too read about crashing the E which can worsen the problem
My understanding is that higher levels of test can alter nerve receptors and that will cause desensitizing of the penis.
Another possibility could be if your a cyclist you can damage nerves from the extended saddle time and cause sensitivity issues. I noticed a lot of my issues started occurring when I rode a lot. It got better once I stopped riding but never got 100% better.
Yeah you want to tread lightly here. You estrogen is not really that out of range. Mine sits higher than your consistently. I crashed mine once and felt like complete shit for three week. Would much rather have elevated then low.
Thankyou it comes and goes the desensitized feelings.
I will take my usual 200 test per week twice a week and 0.5 arimidex three times a week as recommended
Thankyou
What are signs and symptoms that I should be aware of if my E crashes?
You will
Just feel like crap
Achy joints
Possible ED
No sex drive.
Thankyou.
Sticking to the present test. Schedule twice a week is ok?
Or should a week be split into 3 test. injections to coincide with the 0.5 mg arimidex to pave for a more stable blood level?
Very much appreciated
Or
Two shots per week is fine.
You could do a shot on monday with arimidex, a shot on thursday with arimix and then take the third on saturday. It really doesn’t matter.
You could even try 2x .5mg arimidex for a few weeks and see what the bloods look like. No reason to rush this “dialing in” process.
Noted. Thankyou so much!!
Keep us posted as things play out.
