Poor erection quality

I will try that but but I was having the issue before trying HCG again. Basically was just on 100 test and nothing else. Let's see how I do on 100 test and .5 adex split between 2 doses a week.

How long after changing AI protocol might one expect to notice a difference?
Depends if you were already on it and adjusted up or down. But it may take a week or two to level off again.
What were erections like on test only? Did you start on the ai right away or did you add it at some point?
 
I was on 100mg T for quite a while and erections were decent but not as good as pre trt. I was trying to find a sweet spot of T dosing where I didn't need an AI but if it's at the expense of great wood then no thanks.

You could always try splitting the 100mg into daily shots ( 14ish mgs per day) no need for ai then for sure
 
I'm back to update again.
I've been doing daily subq shots in the belly since I created this thread.

I got my lab work back. My testosterone has essentially stayed the same at 728 total and 18 free. However, my e2 is now at 26 down from a high of 86. No AI use other than a few doses when my E2 was sky high weeks ago.

It certainly appears daily is the way for me to go. I'm not feeling great like I was doing this, it might be time for me to increase my 100mg per week dose.

How is your libido with the daily subq shots?

It's ok. Nothing insane. It seems to ebb and flow, but it's a real busy time for my wife and I. So, it's hard to say. Also, I think it's time to adjust my protocol to a higher dose now that I'm completely shut down, and the beginning honeymoon period is over.

Ok. Thanks. Hope things improve. I’m having below average returns with TRT. Getting frustrating.
 
Have you tried one big shot per week? Some guys don’t respond well to having their test at “peak” all the time ( like with daily shots )

Good Luck!

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.
