Libido already increased after a week

I only did 2 injections so far( 45 mgs each of test cyp ). I am already getting morning erections as well as a nice increase in libido. Curious what me levels are. The morning erections are a tell tale sign ( usually ) that things are working out. Mood is good as well. No hcg and no arimidex .
What a difference a week makes. I feel like a different person.
i doubt my levels are much different than when i was using clomid but clomid does nothing for mood or libido.
my only issue is prostate. Everytime i ejaculate, my prostate feels swollen and irritated for 2 days. Thats a prostatitis issue i had for 5 years. No infection which means anti biotics dont work. It sucks, i feel like i have something stuck up there.

Don't be to surprised if in a couple of weeks you begin to feel run down and lose those improvements, it happens to a lot of us. When I first started TRT the honeymoon phase only lasted a week and soon began to feel fatigued and lost all improvements, the good news is it will all come back in a couple of months. What were your levels before you began TRT, include lab ranges.

Morning erections can be improved from the rapid acting vasodilatory proprieties of testosterone.

Anything else is placebo.

My personal theory is that a lot of guys experience a placebo effect improving mood right away from the sheer power of injecting, that tapers off before the actual changes from testosterone kick in, causing his guys to report immediate improvement in symptoms and then the crash.

Give it 2 months. That's when major benefits appear.
 
I would think in a short time you'll be raising level of testosterone injections. I would think you should inject at least 100mg weekly to feel good. Probably even higher.

45mgs 2x per week. ( monday and thursday ). I feel good. Morning erections, libido is good as is my mood.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
