Madman - Good info. Are the different colors in your posts meant to emphasize important sections?

Follow this advice

I too had little sensitivity which resulted in an inability to ejaculate. A low dose AI of .125mg twice weekly seemed to help me.

I think we'll continue to learn. This is still a relatively new field of medicine.

All strong advice above. Kind of common sense, but let's face it sometimes we over complicate things when solutions done consistently over time, will produce results. I took 5mg of Lexapro for GAD and it helped, but nothing helped relieve anxiety for me the way a simple diet and exercise program...

It's interesting to consider where we will be 10 years from now with trt and the various ancillary drugs/supplements. My response to DHEA could not be more opposite than yours. The reason for that, hopefully we learn in the years to come. Continued success.

Definitely very similar.

You're overthinking it. You won't have any of those issues with 29g 1/2" needles. The pharmacist will still tell me cyp won't work with that size needle. I remind him we have this same conversation every few months.

BiggerP73 - What don't you like about the delts? I've injected exclusively in the delta for about 3 years. 29g 1/2" syringe.

The mistake I made starting out 5 years ago was injecting too much cyp (160 mg once weekly), without an AI. For a low SHBG guy, that's a recipe for disaster in most cases. What is your SHBG? Adding a low dose AI into my protocol has made a great difference. AI's are strong though. A small dose...

Emotions, water gain (soft body), inability to achieve solid/sustained erections with any consistency, etc. I take .125 mg with each injection. It makes a difference in my overall wellbeing.

E management is controversial. I paid a price by following the advice of the anti AI crowd. Got it turned around and I'm doing good.

I sleep better with low dose T, shot multiple times a week, and I still need an AI to control E. Otherwise I'll convert to too much E, and high E for me (which is low E for most) prevents quality sleep. When I get my LCMSMS E to high single digits - low teens, I sleep better.

You're taking control of your health. My results changed when I started pulling my own SHBG and E2. Never did well on DHEA

readalot - I'll order both tests and that's about right for me too. Gman86 - My libido may be up a little when my E2 is higher. Keep in mind that high E2 for me would be considered low E2 to most others. But it's darn near impossible for me to get an erection with high E2. When I get my E2 in...
