[QUOTE="Leesto, post: 55572, member: 14503"] First of all, thank you to Nelson and the members here for all the valuable information you have posted. Since discovering ExcelMale 1 month ago I have read thousands of posts and watched all of Nelson's videos and Gene's N.O. stack video. All have been educational. Okay, before TRT I was: - 62 year old male on hypertension and diabetes meds. - About 15 pounds overweight. - Complete ED not helped by viagra/cialis - No NPT's or morning wood for 20 years. - Could get a climax now and then but it was difficult, exhausting, and weak. - poor libido (but not absent) - low energy level, declining mood and declining physical stamina. - Beginning to get achy joints. - Total T = 205 (sorry I don't have other labs the doctor kept them) 4 months ago I started on TRT: - Test Cyp 200: one IM injection per week - HCG 2.5 ml on T day and 2.5 ml the next day - Anastrozole .5 mg twice weekly First 2 months I noticed nothing. The third month I crashed: - NO libido. - Night sweats - Hot flashes - Sour mood - Frustration/irritability - Could not even get close to a climax under any circumstances. - My Doc thought these signs were indicative of high E2. In the 4th month I read lots of stuff here and so two weeks ago I did these things: - Started Gene's NO stack - Stopped taking Anastrozole - Changed HCG injections to 2X per week evenly spaced rather than on consecutive days. What happened since: - After about 7 days the night sweats and hot flashes stopped. - Mood is improving a bit - blood test 8 days after stopping the AI (and two days after T Cyp injection) showed: - Total T = 1427 - Free T = 36.4 - Estradiol (Sensitive) = 23.8 - Had one NPT. Not hard but somewhat enlarged vs completely flaccid. - Was able to achieve one climax. Took a while and was difficult difficult but it happened and was a bit stronger and a bit more satisfying. - Libido is still low but at least it is not completely absent. On the plus side I have noticed since starting TRT: - My body has leaned out. Even my wife comments that my body composition has changed. T-Shirts feel a bit more snug in the chest and arms but looser in the belly. - I cut my diabetes meds in half - I cut my hypertension meds in half My main reason for starting TRT was ED and that is still with me. Still not helped by viagra (even 4x the normal dosage). I now know there are other health and quality of life benefits from TRT and I will stay on it because of them, but 4 months have not helped the ED. I have read here about Cabergoline, PT-141, and Trimix but have not tried any of those yet. I am wondering if I should just stick with my current regimen and hope the ED gets fixed with time or if I should try one of those three ED remedies. As you can imagine, after 4 months of no improvement in the ED department I am getting impatient. I have a beautiful and understanding wife who is willing and ready but I've just got nothing happening down there. Thanks in advance for any comments you may have.
