Just a quick status update. Been on the cream for about 5 weeks now. Definitely feel much more stable and have noticed a significant improvement in libido and consistency of morning erections. I’ll have labs done in another couple of weeks but I’m guessing my test levels are a bit lower on the...

Very interesting! I’m trying hard to completely ignore e2 going forward and just focus on optimizing free t.

E2 was 43 at these labs which is consistent with my previous few labs. No AI for a couple of months and never any HCG. These labs were probably peak (if there is one on EOD) bc they were 24 hours post injection. Yeah if this doesn’t work I’m flying to TN to go see Dr. Nichols. I found this...

2 pumps twice daily of 200mg/ml applied to the scrotum. They did start me on 50mg DHEA but that’s it. Too early to tell much, it’s actually only been 5 days. I noticed a slight bump in libido but otherwise don’t feel much different yet. I was actually beginning to feel a little better on...

Just last week I switched over to using compounded scrotal cream and using a new clinic where they are trained using Dr. Rouzier’s methods. The plan is to optimize free t (probably in the 30-40 range I was told) and then give it some time and see how things go. I’ll provide updates along the way.

I have almost identical labs to you and have had a very similar experience in that I’ve felt like I need an AI but am also very sensitive to them. My total t 1100-1200, free 17-21 and SHBG 50-70, sensitive e2 41 without AI. I have always assumed my symptoms were related to e2 since everything...

Do you still like the prop? I’ve read some of your other posts and I know you’ve been at this for a while. Was it you that at some point moved to a very low dose of cyp (like 60mg 1xweek)?

Agreed, I’m 41 with 4 kids and have no expectation of being always-on:). I’m trying to avoid prolonged periods of low/no libido.

Sorry I’m sure I worded that statement poorly. I was referring to the study link that Nelson posted “high estrodial boosts libido in men on testosterone replacement therapy.” I’ve read that study and others that suggest this but I completely agree with you that studies are based on averages and...

2 months ago I switched from an E3.5 protocol to EOD and removed the AI. the labs above reflect that change. After 2 months of just feeling of low libido I decided to try the AI again (.125mg 1x per week). I did notice a slight improvement the first week but after the second dose I saw a big...

This is what always has we wondering if I could figure out how I’m not sure if the reason it’s not sustainable is that I haven’t found the right dose/frequency to maintain the ideal e2 or if it’s just temporary and the effect would fade regardless...and as Cataceous mentioned that just making...

Probably about the same as the year or two prior to TRT. It was great until probably my mid 30’s. Things went down hill after our fourth child was born and I had a vasectomy.

I don’t disagree at all. However after nearly two years on TRT the only times I’ve had a decent libido is when my e2 was in that 18-30 range after taking an AI. I’ve just never been able to sustain it for more than a couple of weeks at a time. So is it worth trying to manage e2 in that range or...

General question about libido and E2. A few times I have dropped my e2 into the 18 range using .25mg anatrazole once per week. I feel kind of down for 2-3 days after taking it and then feel amazing (great libido and mood) for the next 2 weeks or so. Last time this happened I ran labs and e2 was...
