[QUOTE="LakeGuy81, post: 101149, member: 17825"] Symptoms: Little to zero libido, somewhat decreased erection strength, anxiety. Dosage: Just switched from 100mg T/week via IM to 20mg/day via Sub Q. Have only been Sub Q for 7 days. HCG dose is 500IU 3 times per week. No AI prescribed. Summary: My doc says "Estradiol is good for men" and that his practice doesn't believe in prescribing AI's, but he told me he would experiment with it if I insist. He also didn't order any sensitive E2 tests, and won't, because he believes E2 is good, not bad. My T levels seem high, where is my libido? Could it be E2 even at these levels? Could too much HCG be causing some of this? I've went from 22 (pre TRT) to 38-40 on E2, labs below.
