Haven’t been around for awhile….come back to see what’s up and see Rob Roy still at it….I was gonna ask a question of everybody related to e2 creeping up relative to test level as I’ve aged and I’ve been having soft erections (something that has happened since I’ve been on TRT when my levels get to high 30s - 40). Was gonna ask if this happened to anybody else and if a LOW dose of AI would be appropriate (have not used in years after lowering dose), but I don’t feel like being told I need to keep adding testosterone till my e2 is at 60 because I don’t know my own body!! Hang in there Cataceous…
