Weaker Erections but Higher Libido Since Starting TRT

Great. What is your SHBG FYI?

Its generally around 22 or so… In range, but on the lower side of things.

Great hearing you are making some time of progress. Following your progress.

If I were you though I would raise my dose if going less frequent especially to once a week.

I did. Currently about 110mg per week.

Try every 10 to 14 days.

I may go back to my original starting TRT protocol of 300mg Every 14 days.

Seems like the larger spikes help. Maybe it’s the blast of DHT? Or just the instability of the larger doses.

Watching your journey and wishing you all the best. Only ever been on dailys and it isnt working. Libido and Johnson as dead as anything

Get off dailies.

Go to weekly shots.

Yeah I personally would want to go higher weekly dose way more than 100mg, more than 110mg, if I am to inject weekly or less frequent than that.

I recall at trough being around 600 TT on this protocol years back. So i could go up a tiny bit.

How much dose and frequency for such through ?

It was 100mg once per week. Right before next shot, my TT was about 600 TT. Good numbers, but maybe a little room to move up.

Regardless i defintel feel more of an effect on a greater dose less frequently. I’m a little moody and higher anxiety the day after shot. But def feel something working in terms of libido… and morning wood is outstanding in comparison to dailies, EOD, and E3D protocols.

I think we (or maybe I) just need more fluctuation.

When I decided to go back on trt, everyone was advising me to do daily Cypoinate. At first, I felt good. But then it dropped off and back to feeling like shit.

Decided to trust my past experiences from yrs back and recently went back to 150mg testosterone Cypoinate one a week and i’m already feeling the benefits that most of us are after.

Yes, maybe 2 days before the next injection, I notice a slight drop in sensitivity or strength of erection, but when I look at the big picture, I’m so much happier with this protocol.

Same here.

I feel more benefits on a weekly schedule than this daily crap.

Cool man. It makes sense that everyone feels different on different protocols. I’m eager to hear how you like it moving forward! I think I’m gonna do it too! So i’ll let you know how it goes for me as well.

Good info if someday i decide to do TRT. One to twice a week seems to be a good place to start.

What about feeling good and happy? What works best for you?

Hey man following up here, seems you went back to more frequency correct?

Interesting read this thread.

I’ve just moved from e3d to e4d (same overall dose though (250mg every 12 days)

(Sustanon so ester blend).

I’m definitely slightly higher in libido- but also finding my mood less consistent.

Think im sleeping better too except 36 hours after jab when i have one night i dont sleep well (presumably T is peaking high).

I did this just to pin less as was starting to get fcuked off with pinnjng.

I did.

Currently 40mg eod since about mid December. And noticing a tiny tiny bit of libido here n there.

However, the last week or so I’ve noticed my heart beat seems more pronounced. And a little shorter of breath, even while resting. Like antsy. And slight headachy. It’s definitely something new and out of the ordinary. And quite pronounced. The only other thing I’ve started was an occasional 100mg of mag glycinate, but I’ve dropped that due to the above. Counterintuitive I know, but it’s the only new addition.

This morning I took .25 arimidex. On occasion all take this (maybe once a week at best). Wondering if this could be e2 related. Flying blind without bloods.

I have been trying to stick it out, hoping to adjust, bc I’m feeling something at this higher level than my normal appx 100mg a week.

I’ve been meaning to pop in and ask.
@highpull any thoughts? I may reduce a tiny bit and see if symptoms reduce. But it is something that is very concerning to me as I can tell that my breathing is harder at the gym when I generally don’t breath hard at all.
