Interesting. Are you on HCG per chance? I'm beginning to suspect that's the real culprit here. I'm running 1050 IU HCG every week (150 IU ED). I'm going to try reducing it to 500 IU per week.

Lowering my E2 by taking aromasin/anastrozole did the job for me. Up to a solid 8/10 on erectile function. Expect it to continue improving as I get my numbers down.

I wasn’t taking any AI when I had the test. After seeing the test values, I took 0.25 mg arimidex ONCE while I waited for my T levels to drop. It is an ultra sensitive E2 test.

My starting prog was 0.1 and I was taking 100 mg Pregnenolone and 50 mg DHEA. That brought my prog up to 1.9. I’m now doing 20 mg Pregnenolone. That ought to bring my progesterone down into range.

Yep. I dropped down to 120 mg. Feeling a bit better. I also took a little bit of an AI to get that E2 down faster. BTW this was all being done through a clinic which I now realize didn’t know anything at all. Looking to change clinics now.

My hemoglobin was 13.1 and hematocrit was 42.4. That was a massive improvement for me once starting therapy. I have Beta Thalassemia Trait and my pre-TRT hemoglobin was 10.9

I’ll do that. I’m just trying to understand though why my libido would be poor with these numbers

Does anyone have any idea on why my libido/erectile quality might be poor with these numbers? High E2? High progesterone?

I think I’ll try the 140 mg/week split into daily and have my bloods drawn again. I’m switching to propionate instead of Cypionate so I can adjust my dosage and have blood serum levels stabilize more quickly to facilitate dialing in.

Here's my most recent bloodwork with an SHBG of 38 I was on 250 mg test C split into daily injections as well as 150 IU HCG ED. I was also taking 100 mg pregnenolone before bed because my pre-TRT progesterone was 0.1 I have been waking up too early (after 6 hours in bed) and unable to go back...
