[QUOTE="BoredStiff, post: 226919, member: 44016"] Long-time lurker, I usually just enjoy reading the forums but I've been having a problem that I can't seem to resolve. I'm 37 and have been on TRT since I turned 31 after repeatedly testing in the low 200's and having no libido/ED. Those issues have been hit or miss the whole time though, there are months where I can function normally, but I've also lost various relationships because I'll go months without getting an erection or even wanting sex. I've tried going as high as 300mg/wk of enanthate, and as low as 80mg/wk, doesn't seem to make a difference. I tend to usually do better by taking a daily dose of 6.25mg exemestane and driving my e2 down, but even that doesn't always work. One interesting note is that in 2019, I accidentally took double the exemestane dose as I was using a research liquid, for 6 months I crashed my e2 down to 6 pg/ml (confirmed via sensitive blood work), and that entire time I felt amazing, mood was great, libido was through the roof... I know this goes against common wisdom, but why do I usually feel better with crashed or very low estradiol? My current bloodwork after 3 months on 120mg/wk and 500iu HCG/wk with no AI (I have not had an erection in these three months, and no desire, also feel very lethargic and unmotivated) Total T: 790 ng/dl Free T: 21 pg/ml E2 (sensitive): 32 pg/ml SHBG: 28.2 nmol Free T3: 2.9 (2.3-4.2 Range) That bloodwork looks very solid to me, but I don't feel well at all. Could prolactin or DHT be an issue? I can almost guarantee I could temporarily fix the libido/ED by popping a letrozole pill for 2-3 days, from past experience, but I can't grasp why crashing or drastically lowering my e2 does that.
