[QUOTE="hankerata, post: 219831, member: 18978"] Hey guys-- Back in June, [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/high-e2.23523/#post-202010']I posted this [/URL]-- suspecting I had high E2 but it turned out (as many of you who replied had suggested) that it was in fact low Estradiol. Once I got my hormones back in a good spot, the symptoms went way. Fast forward to now. Out of nowhere, I started having some ED issues -- weak erections during both sex and solo journeys. One time during sex I actually lost it during intercourse. When I am able to have an orgasm, and that's a bit of struggle right now, it's a weak orgasm -- i.e., not nearly as pleasurable as normal. This is exactly what happened in June, when I posted earlier, so I am assuming that I am now again in a low estradiol mode. Here's my current protocol: Test Cyp 200 mg/ml – 0.45 ml IM/SQ 2 times weekly HCG 400 iu SQ 2 times weekly Anastrozole 0.5 mg 2 times weekly My most recent labs, from 11/29/21, show: Testosterone: 854 Free T: 28.9 Estradiol, Sensitive: 17.3 SHBG: 25.5 If I look back on the previous two labs from this most recent one, I can see my Estradiol has been going down: Six months before that lab, it was 26.8 and then six months before that it was 28.4. Anyway, a couple of questions: 1) In the short term to recover from this low E2 and resulting ED issues, should I resume protocol as normal but skip my next dose of Anastrozole? 2) Do others experience these sorts of temporary bouts of low estradiol even when the protocol otherwise seems fine, or does this suggest that I may need to alter my protocol -- i.e., in the longer term, does this possibly suggest that I am not producing as much estrogen as before and so might now need a lower dose of Anastrozole? I know this will require bloodwork, and I am due in about two months, but curious what the take is here. Thank you. I find this forum's hivemind hugely helpful. [/QUOTE]
