New to TRT, Unique Case to Say the Least

Makes sense…
My dht is being measured also no result there yet

My free abs total T seem high considering tomorrow is my next injection (I do every 3.5 dAys)

Is it possible to be getting too much of a good thing ?

Meaning too much T And too much free T?

Those numbers aren’t very helpful as you’re still reaching steady state. I’ll repeat the advice given earlier and give it another 6 weeks or so.

I guess I don’t understand what steady state really means

It means sit down, shut up and wait 8 weeks without changing anything. I’m just going to block you. I really can’t even keep seeing these posts without going dbossa on you

I don’t know exactly what that means but i get it I think

Will wait two more weeks for sure bc that will be 6 weeks and report back

Man I’ve been right where you are but I think worse. I have pssd from an antidepressant. Trt will help if you let it. You may have to make adjustments but give it time. My libido and erection quality did improve but I had estrogen issues and I’m having to take hcg as we’re trying to get pregnant so been more complex. I went from weekly shots to now three times a week. I’m waiting to see how I feel as I just started last week. Good luck but try to stay calm.With Pfs and pssd and all of these issues that have to do with receptors anxiety just makes it worse. There may be ups and downs but I’m telling you I can’t have sex without a pill but when my trt was consistent I was having sex without anything. I haven’t even been doing it long term like a lot of guys so stay consistent and check labs and go from there.

Thanks bro!!!
I’ve been having sex for nine years without pills but no
Morning erections and real
Low libido overall

Now starting TRT four weeks with daily cialis
Starting to get some night time erections but just not super hard
Libido obv still low

Anxiety makes it worse

Well I’m 37 and have never had sexual dysfunction at all in any way, not even while on the antidepressant. Just after stopping it within a week. That’s when I had to start using viagra and cialis. Trt made it much better for a while. Hang in there.

And how are you doing now
Still
On TRT?

How’s the libido and function

Well I’m not that good but I was on a once a week larger shot and hcg. Initially I wasn’t taking an AI either and my estrogen got high and I had worse dysfunction. I eliminated the hcg and started feeling really good. But my sleek count went down to almost nothing and were trying to have a baby so I had to do something. I started working with defy medical and so was off everything for two weeks. I started my new protocol last week. Don’t notice anything good or bad yet and I’m having to take hcg again so we will see. It truly takes several weeks usually to notice anything. How long have you been doing this now? Again the hcg complicated things but it’s a necessity for me. But man I usually have zero libido, lack of sensation in penis, no lust or real excitedness to visual stimuli such as nudity, ed, and my scrotum and penis tend to shrink up a lot when flaccid. So I have tons of very problematic issues especially being married. At my peak on trt I had libido much less Ed, And could have sex without anything. So it can help once you get it dialed in, currently I’m not… but being patient

I’m on 120mg now a week split up twice weekly
Taking 5mg cialis daily which helps
Get nocturnals some days but some days not and my sleep is poor so that doesn’t help

Libido is low which sucks bc you feel bad for not being horny
So I understand

I’ve been this way for 9 years but functioning well and libido was ok (is also largely mental)
Depression has not helped that and obsessing about it obviously

So I get what your going through

Yeah and remember nocturnal erecttions happen during rem sleep so if your not sleeping well you won’t get many. I have some but their going down by time I wake up to notice. I’m just hoping I get to a point where I can live with it and it’s manageable. Keep us updated.

That’s basically the goal

I hadn’t had erections for years in sleep but was happy bc I was able to use it when needed

Then you realize how abnormal it is and stress about it and that gives you more ED and low libido
Viscious circle I guess
Daily cialis is a good help bc you don’t have to think about it and it has some health benefits

Also not to be too graphic but I’ve used a silicone constriction ring a few times (cock ring)
It kinda works wonders bc you don’t have to focus on losing the erection

TMI Maybe but just trying to help out

The best night erextions I had was w 25mg viagra before bed but I wanted to try daily cialis for a while to see if it’s easier to use and avoid planning sex

Yeah 5mg daily cialis seems to work well but you shouldn’t build tolerance to it like viagra

Didn’t know they lose there effectiveness

dr Goldstein says taking nightly viagra low dose or daily cialis is perfectly fine like taking an aspirin for men once they hit 50

It promotes erections at night which are needed

He’s 70 and gets them every morning (I’m half his age and don’t)
He takes it daily also and says it’s preventative which make sense

Anyone notice a change in semen after TRT?
I’ve noticed more watery semen

I would research it some. Some do build tolerance to pde5s. Studies show Some people have to increase dosage with time. Cialis appears to not cause that as much as viagra from what I’ve heard. As long as it works for you though that’s great. I use both both I don’t take a daily dose.

I’m depressed so bad and have no actual libido it’s shit
I consciously want sex but don’t need it ya know
It’s shit

Just try to relax and give it some time
