Sadly it seems ugl for HCG is the only way to go. Paying around $200 for pregnyl is not feasible long term.

So again, i raised my EOD shot to 48mg test from appx 40-44mg. And again, the desire to masturbate and want sex is gone.
I donāt get that reaction on anything appx. 44mg and lower.
So iām wondering if E2 is too high at that range? What would cause my already low libido to then vanish at a tiny boost? I may keep the level at 48mg but add a little arimidex and see if libido returns at all.
OR, maybe i just need to hold the 48mg for a few months. .Just strange that it just vanishes fast.
For me atleast : While I was / am on 300mg test e weekly, i have no libido issues at all. When i took 0.25-0.5mg tab of armidex to see, if this fixes small bacne breakout, i noticed difference in morning wood / libido. It was lower definetly.
Las cycle when i was on 300mg and came down to 100mg weekly i had also problems with erections / morning woods and libido. Right now I cannot tell if the problem was 100mg or armidex. My test was 58nmol with 100mg and maximum natural is 30nmol.
As soon I introduced hcg with 100mg it got better.
Also to add: My e2 was not low. Only thing I did was lower my dose to 100mg as per PCT.
Whats your lab work around that protocol?
What are your numbers?
The closest bloods to my current protocol was back in July when i ran 30mg EOD:
E2 26 (<29)
SHBG 19 (10-50)
TT 610 (290-1150)
FT 145 (35-155)
What exactly do you feel when you go higher dose? Besides libido problems.
Remember u have LOW SHBG, this makes for ANDROGEN dominance not estrogren dominance. That is: ur problem might not be too high estrogen, but too low (relative to the amount of free androgens cause of lowish shbg).
If you increase ur test, yes, ur estrogen will be higher, HOWEVER, ur androgens will also be higher - and in relative terms, your androgen:estrogen ratio will be MORE skewed towards androgen dominance, IE ālow e2 symptomsā with increased test dose (again, due to more free androgens VS free e2).

Makes me wonder what we see reported like when @highpull shows some of the numbers heās seen. So many things look like non factors.
Then again maybe a lot of men just get their TRT and donāt talk about delicate subjects.
I personally donāt ever tell my TRT providers anything ever. Nothing about libido or ED.
So do you think i should just sit tight at this now higher level?
Roscoe what happened to your once a week dosing and why did you drop it?
Honestly cannot recall. I likely felt nothing from it.
Right now, 34-44mg EOD has been best so far for feeling a little sex drive. The urge to masturbate is there much more. Anything past 44mg EOD seems to kill it.
Stress is such a mood killer. The difference between now and 14 years old is not the body but the amount of responsibilities we handle that affect our libido negatively.

Plenty of stressed out mofos still think nothing of sex and can go in their car without any PDE5 or anything. The urge to pass your seed is biological.
I get the argument for transient stress ED, but yeah it shouldnāt be a long term thing.

I donāt think either of us were saying this is āyour problemā regarding stress induced erectile performance. Only that itās a viable reasoning for some.

Agreed. Had plenty of stress in the past with exams, etc and was NEVER a problem to get readyā¦
āStressā is not the cause.
I agree with some of the previous posters: your problem in my estimation is too high T/too low estrogen as a ratio.
From my personal experience my own libido is never higher than when my T is knocked down temporarily from a night of drinking (drinking kills T for those on TRT) making my estrogen higher relative to my T. The day after the drinking my libido is always strong.
Let your E2 go up to its natural level at those T levels. Only convern yourself with it if you start to get sides (gyno)
