I recall you’re on an eod protocol right? With pretty high test amount.
I honestly felt more “flow” on lesser amounts than I am on now. Like 100mg a week. PDEs worked better too.
A lot of people have decent erections pre trt, then start, and erections go away.
I am going to continue running this 30mg a day protocol for another month. If nothing gets better, I may explore really low test intake ala systemlord.
That’s is correct. Right now I’m on 42mg EOD. When I was last tested, I’m not sure my dose was as consistent as I thought it was as could have been as high as 158mg a week… But my TT was 1192, free T 224, shbg 27 and sensitive E2 41.
Pre-TRT I had no flow. Trouble getting and maintaining an erection for more than 10 seconds.
I definitely didn’t “feel” as good taking 100mg split as 50mg E3.5 days. Didn’t notice erection improvement either so doc bumped me to 120mg split as 60mg E3.5 days. The day after an injection, the rush was too much and I couldn’t pee at all…big time BPH… So I changed to 34mg EOD, which helped with the testosterone spikes, but I still was having bedroom issues… so I decided to increase in my own.
After my increase, I had a sort of honeymoon period where I was thinking about sex ask the time and was good to go whenever the time was right. Now, those thoughts have worn off, but hydrolics are good.
So… I’m at a cross roads - do I increase or decrease to see what happens??
I’m interested to hear what you do and how it goes. I might try higher than lower too… But wonder if it’s easier to go lower first.
I read all this stuff about increasing until you feel something, but I don’t know. I’m already at 210mg/week split daily.
I am going to go back on wellbutrin at 100mg. I did have a little luck on it prior.
My hydrolics work fine. It’s my brain doesn’t seem to wanna send the signal strong enough.
Let me ask you this, and it’s somewhat private… but then again we’re all anonymous: Do ANY sexual thoughts arouse you? For me, if I think about my gf being a slut (like with other men/women) it really gets me going. I hate to admit it. My point is that maybe you’re fine, you just need something else to make you aroused.
Yes. I usually have to quickly shift my mind to mundane things so I dont get embarrassing ones like at the gym, in the 9am staff meeting on Mondays, or at the grocery store. Im usually hard the whole 10 minute ride home from the gym in the morning because I let my mind wander. If I dont want that then I put on the Peter Attia podcast and my brain switches gears.
@roscoe88 - Yes, there are thoughts that get me “in the mood”… But then it sorta feels like what you’ve written below.
I get a hard on when I make out with my wife just fine… Or even cuddling, total hard on… But thinking about things - they get me feeling good inside and I can feel things change, but aside from that one time at work I got hard looking at a picture of her, it just doesn’t happen from thought alone.
I’ve never thought of her acting naughty like you described… I don’t know. It’s a bit frustrating, but since the hydraulics work when I need them to where they didn’t before, I’ve kinda accepted my mind will never give me a hard on. And now that I think about it, I don’t recall a time ever where I could think myself to a hard on.
I understand brother. So do I at 54 years old, but do you discuss them anywhere else but here like we were pre-teens talking about the quality of our boners?! LOL
EDIT: After just writing this, I want to say how much I appreciate the brotherhood here.
