Thank you for updating.

Getting your E2 down too low can give you issues that are just as bad, if not worse than high E2. Definitely check in with Defy and let them know your current weight. See if he changes the dosing.

Man, I totally get what you are going through. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, literally. I am not having the low energy issue, but I am facing ED. I can get "mostly" hard, but I can't keep it. It is really down-heartening. I wish you the best. I will be seeing my doctor next...

Glad to help. The information is timely for me. Seeing the doc next week.

The link apparently broken. Do you know if this information is published anywhere else?

Pellets give you high numbers the first month and a gradual decline over the next four to five months.

Hi Jay Jay, I have read (on this forum) that the ratio of T to E can be a better marker than the flat numbers. The target ratio is 20 T to 1 E (if I remember correctly) and that would put you in a pretty good place. Unless you see symptoms of high or low E, I would not necessarily try to...

DHEA made me dream more, and it elevated my E2 (already borderline high) to the point that I had trouble maintaining an erection. I haven't given up on it entirely, but I am taking a break from DHEA for a while.

When would you recommend treatment for a hydrocele?

Under what conditions should you see a Urologist if you do not have a referral from your Primary Care Physician? Or, under what conditions should you see a Urologist instead of a Primary Care physician if you are self-insured?

Coffee and butter sound like a recipe for rocket fuel. Better put a seat belt on the toilet.

Best wishes for you. Thank you for having the courage share your experience.

Seeing the code instead of the gif was, well, anticlimactic. There was no way I was going to leave that garbage code in there. I was going to either figure out how to insert that gif, or I was going to write text in its place. :rolleyes:

Boom! Boom! Boom!

If you have split your shots, then you won't hit as high t numbers and you won't convert as much to E2. Since you are not aromatizing as much, you probably don't need the AI. It is very likely you are feeling the consequences of low E2.

Sounds like me before I got on TRT. How are your labs? Is your E2 high, or low? How old are you?

Have you had bloodwork? If so, what are your levels? You should probably take a look at the Testosterone Basics and Questions thread: http://www.excelmale.com/forumdisplay.php?56-Testosterone-Basics-Questions It should answer a lot of your concerns and equip you to talk to your doctor.

It is such an easy check. I don't understand why the medical establishment would discourage it.

Of course, that is good information, but it doesn't explain why the boys would relax and hang lower. . . Do we have LH receptors in the penis and in the muscles of the scrotum that inhibit retraction when they are activated?

There you have it. Ejaculate! Doctor's orders.

Any non prescription recommendations? And can you provide a link to a source I can show my Doc if I want to go the Cialis route?

I have symptoms of bph and I was going to start taking saw palmetto to help, but I am convinced to stay away from it. What are good supplements and practices to incorporate to reduce the symptoms of bph?

Do you have any theories as to how/why HCG would influence the penis and scrotum to hang lower?

Thank you for this list. I had already told the Dr. I was not interested in fathering any more children (I have 5 boys already), so we did not start me on hcg. I will be going in to see him in about a month and I have wondered about the best way to approach hcg since he knows I don't want...

Best wishes for the Doctor. I think it is amazing that Dr. Crisler and Dr. Saya are so involved with this message board. Thank you, gentlemen, for taking time to entertain our questions.

It may not be that simple. Before TRT, it took me 15 months of diet and exercise to lose (and keep off) 10lbs. I literally could not lose weight. After starting TRT, I have lost an additional 17 lbs in 3 months. I was stuck on a vicious cycle of fat encouraging amitorization to E2 and E2...

I am in a similar situation. Over the past few years, I have been gaining weight and losing strength, stamina, and libido. I fund out that my T was low about 18 months ago. I changed my diet and increased my excercise. I was able to lose about 10 lbs, but it was a struggle to keep it off...

Best wishes to you. Thank you for being willing to post your experience.

As I understand it, low E2 can feel a lot like high E2. Be careful.

I found a couple of definitions for PFS. Are you talking about Post Finesteride Syndrome? If saw palmetto causes that, then stay away from it.

It is good to have a place to vent where others will understand your perspective. Stay the course. Don't let them get you down.
