Great, thanks once again. I think I should be set for now, if anything else comes up I will let you guys know. Nothing is for certain yet what I will do once I am done with my 400mg, but I’ll keep updated. I got my labs by the way and my BP was good, bloods/lipids were stable. My estradiol was at 15 which is still pretty low, yet I have been feeling much better from my crashed E2 from 3 weeks ago. Who knows where it was then, yikes. I’ll take that as a sign that if I do a TRT dose an AI is def not needed considering .5 2x a week did that to me on 400mg.
Yeah nothing is for certain yet on where I want to go after my 400mg, but I will be sure to keep you guys updated with everything. Appreciate all your feedback, it has been most helpful!
Pre TRT I was doing alright. Then I had a bad year. It got better for a few months. Then I had a really bad year. It got better again. Then I had the worst month of my sexual life. Had ED for weeks, when I managed to get an erection I developed PE. I still remembering my dickhead barely grazing my girls labia and I came uncontrollably all over her. I got on TRT and it took 3 months for a light of hope to shine. Now, Im back to better than preTRT. Levels are higher than normal according to the chart, but I control when I bust nuts now. Reminds me of being 23. Im mid 40s now. Life simply got better overall. T levels are at 1200. E levels u known…

How long did it take before you had great erections if you dont mind me asking. I’m 7/8 weeks in to having higher levels (was at 6 and 7, now sitting around 27) and im starting to notice some improvements, increase in nocturnal erections and erections just generally gettinf slightly better, but still at around 80%. Im not at that level of these ‘rock hard’ erections guys on TRT talk about. Can that take time? Did see on here somewhere it can take 6-12 months.
6 month mark for me.
Thank you mate. Have heard that also. Aside from erections I feel pretty good man, so will hold out and wait for erections to follow in due course
On my moderate steroid dosage, I started having erection problems at a certain point. I’m back to having solid erections and get huge sexual urges numerous times a day and wake up in the morning hard as a rock. It may be different for someone with already to low T trying to bring it back up with TRT, but I’m just curious, how do you split your dose up and how often do you inject? Once I started injecting 4x a week I could feel my hormones balancing within weeks. When you do this, your lower dose shots are closer to mimicking what you naturally produce, so the estrogen spikes are much less drastic and everything in your body is more balanced in general. Frequent injections can even control hematocrit, red blood cell count, etc.
For most people the more often the better. 2 times a week on cyp is maybe the most rare schedule that works for most people well, on enanthate 3
I agree 100% based off my personal experience. I was doing great with only 2 shots for like 4 weeks, then I had horrible erection quality, water weight, etc. Once I started injecting Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun it only took a couple weeks for me to see a huge change, and that’s with cyp.
If you have low SHBG you may need every day injections to feel optimal. It is very individual
And I do have low SHBG. Not super low, but around 20ish. I inject everyday, Sub Q

Yep 20 is more on the low side
Yeah hence why I went down the every day route
Stay far away form AI you don’t need it. I would just do 200 and stick to that for the therapy and stop the blasting. Too many ups and downs year 1 sucks. I would want consistency.
You have your dad and know what you are doing in terms of fitness. I highly doubt you need to blast to get that much extra muscle. I might be wrong.
I just don’t think it’s smart for anyone doing trt. Maybe later you can think about it if you find a need; but until then stick to therapy .
I know guys here blast and they are fine, but they’ve been on TRT for a long while.

Don’t worry about natural production buddy. Focus in consistency in blood levels.
I noticed once I dropped AI and started injecting more frequently, I have lately been thinking about sex all the time. I have a girl I’m not dating but we just have fun and I literally drove her nuts yesterday because I wanted to fuck 7 times. Had so much energy I kept going outside to do HIIT because I don’t lift again until Sunday. If I run with 200mg consistently and forget about blasts for now, do you think sticking to the same protocol of no AI and frequent injections I would continue these good feelings? Or is it possible I go through a period of loss of libido and energy and have to wait again for it to come back? I know Dexter told me there would likely not be a huge drop and everything would probably just gradually drop to TRT levels but just wanted your opinion as well.
I doubt you’ll have much of a problem, but everyone’s different. Don’t worry about the sex. That’s the last thing on my mind when it comes to hormones. Just make sure you get dialed in and then expect the rest to follow. Along with good health and longevity.
