Wow, so you took less than me and immediately felt low E2 symptoms. I am really hoping the AI will help with my E2, I thought this was the cause that my libido has not improved on TRT. If it's not the E2 then it may be something else.

Mountain Man, quartering my pills seems like a big mess and I don't want to dilute it in vodka. Would it be alright to take 10mg every other day? Will that be as effective as 5mg daily? I'm assuming the risk of side effects are higher with 10mg. Also, if I switch to 10mg, how much more do I add...

Does anybody know if TRT improves penile sensitivity? My sensitivity has gone way down after I was forced off HCG monotherapy earlier this Spring. So far the sensitivity has not returned on TRT. I just started adding HCG to my protocol again, but I'm only two shots in. What causes the loss in...

Today I took my 2nd dosage of my AI after my test and HCG shot so we'll see if I start feeling like crap. I can't imagine that I will considering that I believe I convert too much test to E2, but all the horror stories on here are keeping me on the lookout. One thing I keep seeing that is...

Today I had some shoulder pain and automatically started to wonder if it was the AI's fault. It's just like when you know someone that's gotten lice and you start to feel like your head itches more than usual.

Mark, share how things have gotten better for you. Give me hope, lol.

Well, better late than never. The Ceebis I took for the first time last night is showing promise. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but my body responded nicely to it. We'll see because Viagra just ain't cutting it for my ED. Lost confidence in erections is a libido killer.

I'm considering doing this also, but other than lowering E2 what's the benefit of this? My SHBG is 25.9. I know this can also bring more steady levels, but I'm worrying by cutting my dose into 1/3's that I will not feel more energetic. How is this working for you so far?

Mark M., I received all my medications on Tuesday other than the DHEA which I started on Sunday night. So far I feel exactly the same. I took my thyroid medication and don't feel any different, and yesterday was my first injection with HCG & Testosterone along with taking the AI. I don't expect...

I tried combining my testosterone and HCG into the same injection today and it didn't work out. I'd rather be safe and inject separately, however I'm wondering about the injection site. Do you inject both into the same leg or do you inject HCG on one side and testosterone in another?

Have you considered that your E2 is pretty high which would explain the constant high temperatures?

HealthMan, I owned up to the fact that I gained weight because I lost self control. However, with that being said hormones play a huge factor on your mood, your cravings, and your overall well being. Binge eating is something I never did until college, it came out of nowhere. Anxiety came out of...

Wow, what was the dosage that did that to you?

That does make sense. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Hi guys, I've been thinking about those of us who started TRT therapy because of our low, but normal Total T numbers. Many of us showed symptoms of low T, but our numbers sat right at the average of low normal. In my case my numbers consistently sat in the 300's throughout my 30's and start to...

Hi guys, I'm going to be starting on an AI after talking to my doctor at Defy. When I spoke to him I was doing 100mg per week, 50mg 2x per week. He upped my dose to 140mg per week, 70mg 2x per week. For fertility purposes he added HCG 500iu 3x per week. When we spoke he did mention that perhaps...

When my E2 is running too high my body temperature goes up. I'm hot no matter what. I'm going through that right now with my increase in dosage. Hopefully when I get my AI it'll be fine. I will also say that I thought I would immediately feel the benefits of TRT in my first 6 weeks, but I did...

The roller coaster continues for me. I upped my dosage to 140mg per week after my first consult with Defy on Thursday. My AI does not come until Thursday, however I upped it any way and now I'm feeling the effects of too much E2. This is how I felt when I first started TRT in June. Because of my...

So I bought and received some Viagra from a compounding pharmacy yesterday. I thought last night was a good night to try it so I took one 75mg Viagra pill. I'm not sure if that's the same potency of a regular 25 mg Viagra, but I figured it would be just fine. After some self stimulation I was...

Yes, I know my estrogen is going to increase with dosage change, adding HCG and DHEA, but I think that's why the doc ordered an AI for me. If I wasn't getting an AI I would be very leery about using the DHEA.

When you pulled your numbers did you use the ZHOU or the one you're currently using?

I think I might go with the Douglas Labs DHEA you bought. It seems like it's working well for you at 25 mg. Everybody seems to think that 50mg is too much and that I should start off slow. If your numbers jumped up to the 300's with only 25 mg then perhaps mine will too. The ZHOU brand I want to...

Has anybody ever had success with these DHEA brands I'm currently considering: ZHOU DHEA Natrol DHEA

Very low DHEA. I think the side effect I could probably get is maybe moodiness and anxiety due to the increase in estrogen. However, I can battle that with my AI until I get my body fat down. I'm about to order some.

Has anybody had the side effect of losing their hair? That's the one the petrifies me. My hair is nice and thick and I'd like to keep it that way.

That sounds good to me. I do have a high E2, but I'm getting an AI for that so hopefully it'll keep this in control as well.

Hi guys, I wanted to know how you guys have reacted to DHEA supplementation. My DHEA came out really low and the doc at Defy wants me to supplement it. I understand it's supposed to help me to be more relaxed, have better sleep, and possibly have dreams at night which I really don't have now...

I know exactly how you feel. The roller coaster for me was real and so unpleasant. My endo, who is also very good but not in this area, originally started me at 150 mg every two weeks. I was expecting this huge libido surge, but all I got was a pissy attitude. I was miserable and thought this...

Sounds good. Hopefully I don't get all emotional from the heightened estradiol, lol.

Hi everybody, I was finally able to have my first consult at Defy. The doctor went over all my labs and explained everything to the tee just like you guys said. He recommends me going up in my testosterone since my Free T is not optimal at 12. I've been battling a non existent libido with ED...

I will say that when my estradiol is high I remain hot just like you. I also take DIM and it has helped a lot. But I'm positive that I when I have high estradiol I feel hotter than normal, without DIM I'd have hot flashes.
