I’m debating 25mg m,w,f or 25mg EOD on say the even days of the month.
So took 3 days off injecting and felt a bit anxious near the end so decided I needed a shot. Had some red wine before the shot and my cock felt full and great.
Took the shot (37.5mg, intended 25mg but I misjudged it) and my dick instantly died and felt numb. I just know I won’t be able to ejaculate now.
no, i don’t think it works. i was taking every vitamin and eating all the veggies that are supposed to lower E2 and nothing worked for me.
i guess pimping it is not the right name for you anymore. lol
I think there’s no other option than an AI. You will feel better on the same day you start to take it. If you decide to take it, I recommend Aromasin (exemestane). I lived in Thailand for a while, I hope you’re enjoying there, it’s a great place 
When I was there I bought Arimidex (anastrozole) at a pharmacy and they didn’t ask for a prescription. You probably will also be able to buy Aromasin without a prescription. They didn’t have generics in Thailand (at least that’s what the guy at the pharmacy told me), so it will be very expensive, but a box of 30 tablets will last for a long time, more than 6 months if you start at the recommended dose for this case, which is half a pill (12.5 mg) every 3.5 days.
@dbossa what’s your take on dhea supplementation?
NO when your E2 goes down your water weigh falls off quick.
IMO you are taking way too much T and the sides are killing your dick. Since you refuse to take an AI.
I would drop to 100mg/wk or maybe even 80mg/wk and just wait out the 5 weeks until you reach steady state and then see how you feel. While your body adjusts to the 80-100 all kinds of shit can happen. Just ignore it and stick it out. In that 5-6 weeks your hormones will be all over the place and you can not stop it. So don’t try.
Good luck I hope you will try my experiment.
What do you have to lose your hormones are all fucked up now anyway.
Listen to @hrdlvn on this. If you have hardcore ED, try a little AI and maybe fix it. Or cut the dose and ride it out. Avoid unless you need it. Not avoid even if you need it.

@hardartery, what hrdlvn is just the most absolute worst advice I have seen to date on any of the threads here. He’s claiming his dose is too high? To high for who exactly? His T is at 826! You’re calling that high? How?? He’s aromatising a lot, yes, but that’s OK! He needs to get his free T levels up. It’s that simple. Move to more frequent administration and bump your dose up.
It’s amazing how something so simple is made to sound so complicated by you guys. You’re all here with issues, side effects, ED, bloat, libido issues, and on and on and on. I’m telling you EXACTLY what you need to do to get this resolved, FOR FREE, and all you guys want to do is argue. It’s amazing!
Here’s the deal with that. 826 is not too high. We have had guys anecdotally report issues in the early going with higher doses. Is that permanent? I doubt it, but I don’t know what else is really going on with someone posting anonymously over the internet. It does seem that some guys need some recovery and repair time, and can handle a different dose later. Maybe he’s so broken he just can’t handle it. You can’t compare their adjustment phase with what works for you several years down the road. Some guys are pretty jacked up. You can’t add nitrous to an old Datsun and not have a few problems, something can just be too much at first and require stepping up over time. lenty of guys start on 200 mg a week and feel like garbage. Better to start at 100 mg and adjust on less sides and then step up when you’re used to it.
@hardartery for once, I completely agree with you lol! It is important to start at a reasonable dose and work your way up GRADUALLY. Some guys just jump into high stuff all at once and wind up with issues because their bodies just freak out. With other guys it happens to be the other compounds they are taking (HCG, AI etc) that complicate things and they blame their T dose when it wasn’t that whatsoever. T only is key. Get levels up over time. That’s it. It’s really simple guys.
When you see advice to lower dose, it’s almost always a new guy starting too high. Or some guy that thinks 400 mg a week is TRT.
Two problems with that:
-
His dose seemed quite reasonable to me and his total T is hardly anything near optimal.
-
What if a guy needed 400mg a week to resolve symptoms? An anomoly who just needed a much higher dose than most men? Say that gave him total T of 1300 and free T of 35. That was the only dose that resolved his symptoms. Do we tell him he has to lower his dose because of a “range”? So we lower him down to 200mg and all his symptoms come back? That would be your answer?
Right or wrong, I wouldn’t reduce my dose if it took that much to make me feel normal short of me having to for some other reason shown in my blood work
I would suggest you try to drive the total test around 1000 but split the deliveries to more often.
Two questions
- How do I raise my Ft levels?
- Is calcium gluconate the same as Anastrozole?
Dr. Seranno once told me that nearly everyone is deficient in boron. Apparantly, supplementing with it at 20mg a day increases the number of receptors in the body and helps to boost free t levels. I just started experimenting with it a week ago and I’ll see how it affects my labs next time around.
CDG is not the same as Anastrozole. Anastrozole blocks the conversion of T into E2. CDG helps to eliminate estrogens from the body. Most of the guys in our group are actually staying away from CDG and DIM knowing what we know now about E2. We just don’t want anything in our systems that is trying to rid the body of E2. There has also been discussion about the potential for CDG to eliminate excess T as well (though I have not seen any concrete evidence of that so far).
Oh, I should have mentioned: The easiest, most surefire way to raise free T levels is to increase your dose. 
Am I right in thinking I’m doing correctly injecting directly into my testicles as that is where the body produces testosterone.
His dose is reasonable, but he’s having issues so he should probably back it down for a while and adjust. Some guys need more time than others to get used to having enough T in their system.If a guy needed 400 mg, then that’s what he needs, but we’re talking about an anomaly, and he shouldn’t start at that dose. There are guys that want to start at a dose like that, and they have no idea what they need but sure complain a lot about all of the sides that they have from being on TRT. You woild also want to look at other things to see why he needs that much, if it’s possible to know. Maybe he’s got something weird going on that needs to be addressed separately.
A guy in the Pharma forum posted his TRT, prescribed by some sort of wellness center (not in the US). It involved injections of tren, test and deca. Is that TRT? Uh, no. It’s low dose stupid.
