Sorry to hear that man. I know it's frustrating. I hope you'll get some inspiration as to what to try next or do differently! I have gone through a process of elimination, making sure thyroid is not an issue, hemoglobin is not too high, possible side-effects of medication, sleep, etc. I ran...

Based on advice I had been given on this forum, I had some detailed labs run back in August 2018. At the time I provided my labs, I did not really get much feedback. If there is anything you see, I would love to hear it. Total T=892 Free T=23.67 SHBG=24.18 E2 (sensitive)=23 Estrone=23.4 DIOH...

Did you ever go back on a lower dose of Clomid to treat your low T?

Very helpful! And whatever is to the 1:30 ratio between E2 and T, you were right there. I appreciate the time you took sharing your experience. Charliebizz, my last Total T prior to TRT was 265 and 11.5. It dropped over the course of about one year from 360 down to 265. Unfortunately my...

Systemlord, is that anecdotal evidence or do you know of any studies that discuss this?

I have that also. Unfortunately did not feel any different. These were my labs in April when I had been on 0.37ml twice a week: T=812.6 FreeT=22.02 SHBG=22.05 E2 (Standard)=4941

When I did 0.5ml twice a week, my throve was as follows in November. T=1152 FreeT=31.55 SHBG=27,54 E2 (LC/MS)=35.3 E2 (standard)=45.72 In January, I had my labs run again after having decreased my dose to 0.37 twice a week and the values were as follows (at the throve): T=568 FreeT=15.07...

Good point. My doc has given me a prescription for Cialis daily. I just have not filled it yet...

Systemlord; the initial response to increased libido came after I increased T to 0.5 twice a week, did that for about 2-3 months and then added HCG. After the brief burst went away, I finished the month of HCG, but decreased T to 0.7ml twice a week. Any idea how long it might take for Clomid...

I had taken 0.26ml twice a week, 0.37ml twice a week, and 0.5ml twice a week, each lasting about three months. I had a brief spike lasting about three days when, all of the sudden I got horny again, but then it went away. That was on 0.5ml. After the brief spike, I stupidly argued that...

I have had a year of dose adjustments of testosterone cypionate, with and without Anastrozole and even gave HCG a trial; all without any improvements in libido and the other erectile dysfunctions. I recently found a men's clinic, run by a D.O. who only specializes in men's health. He gave me...

I appreciate it!

Thanks Vince!

what do you pay for it?

Although Cialis is now generic, the cost in the US appears to be still over $100. I have been told that the "oversees stuff" is not as effective. Has anybody had experience with Tadalafil and getting it from "good", but more affordable sources?

Thanks, interesting results!

I read that for men, we should have the Estradiol LC/MS/MS test done because the standard Estradiol test is inadequate for men. I just had my labs done and the lab accidentally did the standard test. My doctor said that he checked with the lab and was told that a sensitive E2 was only needed...

I appreciate it!

Thank you Gene!

I am looking at Direct Pharmacy and HCG appears to be manufactured by: German remedies Lupin Sun Pharma Cadiela Serum Institute Bharat Serum Is Direct Pharmacy a good distributor? Does anybody have experience with the aforementioned manufacturers? Any recommendations?

Thanks for that! Is the HCG in liquid or powder form? I have read you have to mix it either way with bacteriostatic water. Is this correct? How do you mix it?

I am looking for good deals to get HCG. Even on GoodRx it is $270. Any ideas where I could get a better deal than that? Thanks!

Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know about the information. I have since reviewed a few of your videos on the topic and articles and contacted my PCP to request a trial. He is a direct care physician and pretty open to learning, which is cool. It's almost been two weeks...

Thanks Nelson!

Thanks for your reply! I only saw it just now. My Estradiol (LC/MS/MS) came out to be 23.0 pg/ml. That was while taking 0.25 mg twice a week. I have dropped the Anastrozole and will see if it will do anything. What might HCG do in men who are taking TRT? Is it supposed to increase...

Thanks again for the feedback and I think Ill cut dose of AI in half for two weeks and see how I feel. I might cut AI altogether afterwards and see.

Thanks Vince. Yes, perhaps. Like I had said to MarkM, I wonder if E2 was fine prior to T shots, but once I started those my body converted T to E2 and the increase in E2 zapped me of my libido and caused ED?! The only other correlation I could think of is that just prior to starting T shots I...

Thanks for the feedback MarkM. I assume that if I had done the labs 24 hours later the overall T values would have been slightly lower, but still in very acceptable range?! Unfortunately I have to drive to a different city to draw labs. Unfortunately I don't have a pre T shot baseline on E2...

Nashtide, I am 52 and I am taking no other medication. Had PE issues for a long time, but no ED or lack of libido. Had a vasectomy in January 2017 and it seems that shortly thereafter I started having ED issues. I still had libido, but after I started taking testosterone shots my libido has...

I continue having ongoing issues with lack of libido, ED and PE despite having been on Testosterone since February 2018. I have been injecting 75g twice a week and am taking 0.25mg of Anastrozole twice a week. I am 6'6" and 285lb. I would sure welcome any suggestions! My labs (drawn 24 hrs...

I have been getting very valuable information from this group as to which labs I should include. One of them being DHT. It is somewhat expensive and I don't want to include it unless it will provide valuable information. Any recommendations?
