Still having a difficult time with erections, I still get them but when I stop having sex, it goes down, when she rides me for more than 10 min, it goes down. Refractory period is longer, testes feel smaller. The below numbers were when I was taking 2 tubes of Testim and .50 mg of Adex E3D. I have since adjusted it to 1.5 tubes of Testim and .25 mg of Adex E3D. It almost seems as if I had more ejaculate when I wasn’t on TRT, I could cum like 3 times in 2 hours, now I’m lucky if I cum twice in 4 hours. WTF, very frustrated.
Estradiol: <10
FSH: 3.4 MIU/ML
LH: 2.8 MIU/ML
TESTOSTERONE: 1385 NG/DL
SHBG: 11 NMOL/L
CALC FREE TESTOSTERONE: 50.5 NG/DL[/quote]
If you do not have a demonstrated need for arimidex, DO NOT TAKE IT. It is more important to know your E2 levels before starting TRT. If E2 levels are not high, you should cease all arimidex use and retest bloodwork in the 6 weeks to see how your E2 levels respond to TRT. Very few men can achieve and maintain erections with E2 levels <10 pg/dL.
