So TRT won’t help if I have the varicocele?. No matter my dose, is not helping me sexually. Maybe the varicocele is blocking the blow flow to the penis, where is doesn’t matter how high your testosterone is. The Doctor that did my vasectomy caused me the varicocele, that is why my erections never been the same.
Do PDE5s help at all ?
They do, sometimes better than others. But my erections are like 60% hard. My E2 last blood drawn was 49, maybe I should start taking Anastrazole. I’m scare of taking Anastrazole, base on a lot of different bad experiences from other users
TRT has not done a great deal for me, though it did improve my overall well-being. Libido/ED issues are still present, but the reason for this is due to elevated progesterone and extremely borderline subclinical hypothyroidism. Once mitochondria function is optimised through thyroid function (T3), then the adrenals can cool down a bit and (hopefully) not produce as much progesterone resulting in better DHT/E2 utilisation.
My E2 is 73 and no issues… so I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to that E2 value unless your ratios of T to E2 are out of whack
I will check my progesterone then
I read today that HCG doesn’t work well for guys with varicoceles, could potentially increase progesterone even more
Where did you read that? It’s possible for sure.
Can someone pleases explain to me the E2 to T ratio please.
Also if HCG is bad for guys that had varrciocles then I’m in trouble becuase I’m on HCH mono therapy starting yesterday
@zsub154
Here’s the T to E ratio I follow that was told to me by a respected endo here. It’s 15-25:1 (T for every 1 E).
HCG monotherapy doesn’t work well for most folks. I’ve yet to see anyone here talk about it being a decent long term solution and had decent results.

All I know is that my sex drive has been absent for a while now and like I can tell the difference in my penile area. The one thing that o notice about me that I feel is differnt from other people. Is that any time I switch a protocol no matter what it it I feel fine for a while and I mean really good but then it gets snatched away from me about in 3 months it never fails. So I need to figure out what is changing in my body during that time and I think that will be the key to me fixing my problems
What is provrion???
What symptoms are you feeling with your levels where they are ?
Is the commercial name for mesterelone. Is anabolic steroid that is a DHT derivative. Proviron lowers SHBG hormone so you increase your free testosterone levels, increase your DHT levels and doesn’t increase E2, is pure androgenic. Is been used in Europe and other parts of the world to treat Impotence and depression.
So I had my bilateral varicocelle removed in July this year. The left side was stage 3 and the right side was stage 2. Let me give you a little background first. The causes me sever pain back In 2015 that send me to the emergency room maybe three times. Then about a month later the pain subsided. Then in 2017 I was getting very fatigued and could not get a errection at all out of no where. So I did labs and my TT came back at 314. I have no clue what happened to me but that day my life changed in about two months later I ended up on TRT. My lifestyle before all of this was very healthy and very active along with healthy sex life. After being on TRT for two years I finally got the for varicocelle removed. I figured maybe now was the best time to try a restart. But my restart is failing. So now it’s back to TRT proably. My libido is finished and so is my errections after Reading this thread I got a full thyroid panel done along with the regular labs that I usually get cost about $450. The two years that I spent on TRT it would work for a while and then all the sun stop until I switch my protocol and that cycle will repeat over and over. I have a Family history of thyroid problems. I had a thyroid panel run before and everything seem to be normal but I never had RT3 ran before so I’m interested to see how my labs come back. But rite now I am constantly fatigued.
Cortisol effects my sleep and lowering the RT3 I hope will give me more energy but in all honesty I’m doing pretty good at the moment. Always looking for better though.
Another guy said the same thing on a another thread. So beside fatigue did you have any other problems ?
Does Levite’s work better for you then cialis?
What I’m worried about is even if I take a 20mg cialis I still can’t get a errection sometimes which is quite scary because I don’t know what the Hec is going on With my body
So do you take this Ali g with TRT or is this a form of TRT by its self ?
Weird sleep issues. Like I’d be half awake a few hours before I would wake up. It’s like I was semi-aware. Sometimes when asleep I’d wake up feeling like my spine was cold. Like just my spine. It’s almost hard to verbalize
