[QUOTE="falconberg, post: 159490, member: 19004"] What you are describing is very, very common in the forums and Facebook groups that I am a part of. If you look around a bit, you can find literally hundreds of stories or posts from people that started TRT, went through a honeymoon phase until their HTPA sensed the exogenous testosterone and stopped producing it naturally, then started noticing problems (which, in some cases, were not there before TRT). So begins the quest to find the right "optimization" that would offer the ever-elusive cure that would restore or improve their sexual function. They will decide it must be estradiol and optimize that to some level they think will work. When that doesn't help, they ask whether maybe it's DHEA? DHT? Dopamine/neurotransmitters? Prolactin? Progesterone? More AI? Less AI? More HCG? Less HCG? Etc., etc. Admittedly, there is self-selection going on. The people doing well don't get on groups to ask for advice. But there is ample anecdotal evidence to convince me that, at least for some people, TRT causes or contributes to sexual dysfunction and no amount of tinkering with other hormone or nutrient levels will fix that. The only exception that I've seen is that the guys that use scrotal cream without injections generally self-report improvements in libido and ED more than guys that are just on injections, but that requires (a) acceptance of their claim that rocket-high levels of estradiol and DHT have no significant adverse health effects over time; and (b) willingness to begin or accelerate male pattern baldness due to the high DHT.
