Cialis working nice so far

Soooo I was struggling with minor ED issues due to too much test(200mg)/wk. I have since cut my dose to 100mg and added Cialis. I take 20mg on my Friday and it lasts through the weekend and beyond, I work 12 hour shifts with a long commute so sex during the week isn’t common.... My question is...

ED ongoing issues

I would quit smoking immediately and try and drop down to around 10-12% body fat. My doc said that the leaner you stay the less test converts to e2. If you have high RBC's in a high normal or even a little above you can always donate some blood every 8 weeks to help keep it in check, along with...

Yes... my lifts were mostly going up, the ones that weren’t went up a lot easier... I was getting like 4-5 hours of sleep and never tired. It’s legit for everything but libido... How can you raise shbg?

Thanks that’s what I’m guessing.... Im new to this HRT stuff and still trying to get dialed in. I’m going to cut my dose for a few months and stop the AI and see how I feel and what the labs say.
