Hey man.
Well I stopped the 30mg a day. I ran it just about 8 weeks and can’t say I felt a thing. Erections got much worse on that protocol.
Remember, 30mg EOD had my e2 at 49. SO, 30mg DAILY likely spiked it much much higher.
I’m going back to e3d. On that protocol (50mg e3d) I actually felt a little arousal and FT was high, E2 was around 28. So there was something to it. I’m going to start at 50mg e3d for awhile, then play w dosages.
How you feeling? I believe our numbers are fairly similar.
Didn’t you post last week that you were on week 4 and I reminded you that it will take about 6-8 weeks?
I started the daily protocol on Aug 25th. I believe that’s just a little over 7 weeks.
I should’ve felt SOMETHING by then.
Would suck if you were like me and it took 8 weeks to feel something.
I agree. But it seemed to get worse. PDE5s weren’t even working anymore.
On every other protocol I’ve tried, as soon as my e2 gets higher and way out of range, the worse my ED gets.
There were days on the e3d protocol where i had some benefits in the gym and mentally. These days never happened on daily shots.
There are guys live systemlord who only reaps benefits at much lower doses… like TT around 500. I, with my lowish shbg, may be one of them. I don’t know. Still trying to figure it all out.
And what sucks is that i wanted to try a blast at some point with all this extra T I’ve horded away… Doubt that will happen.
I’d be happy to do the blast for you and dedicate all my gains to you.
I dont get it. with low shbg, dont u have very high free T at very moderate doses of testosterone? So u can have like 400ng/dl but be at the top range of free T, and from what Ive understood, free T is what actually matters.
So why 30mg ED? Why not like 6-8mg ED which will maybe get u to 400-500ng/dl and therefor great free T levels but without them being so high making free e2 to get out of control?
You’re correct Equel. The problem occurs because with that higher FT, you get high free E2 as well. (with someone who has low shbg)
16mg daily shots had my TT in the mid 700s and FT just ok. But E2 was low… 20.
30mg EOD my FT was a little higher, but e2 went to 49.
I could’ve tried something like 20mg/daily, but the way things work (for me) I still wouldn’t have gotten my FT up high enough.
I believe I need larger spikes in order to get FT high, paired with a few days in between to let my body clear out some estrogen.
Numbers are just that. Numbers. Need to go by how one feels. It seemed the closer in frequency my shots got, the worse my ED got too. I think my body just does better with fluctuations and time to clear e2.
At this point, I’m trying to stay positive and not lose hope. If I give up on TRT, I may as well say goodbye to my girlfriend.
Yeah its cool, u will find out the perfect balance eventually, its all about finding the correct one for you. Im in the same boat myself.
