The amount of testosterone being supplied to your body obviously won't fluctuate like it would if you were Natty, but the rate at which the testosterone is metabolized can be affected.
Youre absolutely correct. I feel I have to go through the motions first but it could be that he will not prescribe it. The state I live in is not a progressive one. It could be that I will have to go my own route and get the stuff myself, which is why I have done so much reading on this website. I need a solid source for an AI. Is there a trustworthy online pharmacy I can order an AI from without a prescription?
I started TRT a few months ago and I am also thinking about running a cycle during it. There is a lot of great info and some helpful people on here. Just make sure you learn as much as you can before you start anything. My doctor didn't have any problem giving me testosterone but he does not know much about the therapy. my problem is that it's hard to get an AI prescribed. probably because it has that "steroid abuse" stigma attached to it.

This is my first post and i joined specifically to ask this.
I've been on TRT for a year and a month. I feel great, fantastic even. I sleep fine, i've lost a lot of weight, my muscle mass is back, etc. No problems health wise. I currently take 50 iu of HCG twice a week, monday and friday via syringe. I take 80 mg of T via syringe once a week on wednesday and i take one anastrozol capsule on thursday. My tests are consistently where the doctor wants them.
My question concerns my sex drive. It's stupid high. I could go twice a day easily. Some people would read that and go, "that's a problem?" It is when your wife is perfectly fine with once every 3 days. I feel like i bother her asking for sex too much. She enjoys it, she occasionally wants it more often, mostly when we're away from the house for a couple days because it's different, but i get anxiety if we don't have sex at least every other day, sometimes even then.
What would people suggest i do about this? Consult my TRT doc on lowering the dose? It drives me insane, i have the energy of a 20 year old and just want it all the time. Cheating isn't an option, doing it myself gets boring. Anyone else have this "problem"?
Sincerely, guy that's been married 8 years and still wants to have sex with his wife all the time.

Look for the RUI banner ad at the top of your screen. You can get an AI there. I have been happy with all the products I have ordered from them. Pick up some Cialis too while you are at it. They have a lot of sales so wait for one.

This is a common problem. First, you need to have an honest conversation with your wife if you have not already. Explain why you felt so bad and tired for so long and why you feel like a 17 year old again now. Explain that before you were too tired to want sex and bow it is all you can think about.
How old is you wife? And how old are you?
One thing I did was spend about $500 buying my wife new underwear andn bras at Victoria Secret. I picked ones I liked and ordered them for her. It helped her feel sexy and know that I still find her sexy. I kept telling her this too!
I also explained that sometimes I just need her to " take one for the team". Let me do my thing. Although, she may not be into it when we start, but she usually starts enjoying it after a few minutes. If you guys were out of practice having lots of regular sex it may take her a little time to get back into the swing of it.
There are drugs that can help your wife's sex drive. You actually could give her a little bit of your testosterone. Especially if she is getting older. Make sure you get blood work first to see what her testosterone levels are at. Get the Hormone Panel for Females from Privatemdlabs listed below in my signature. You can start a new thread and post her results if you like. Basically though, your average 18 year old woman has TT of about 70ng/dl. If she is low, many women have benefited from supplementing i. Just remember that dosages for females are a LOT smaller than what you take and there are risks of virilization. This would be a new thread if you want to explore this further. There are other medications as well that can help women's libidios.
Change things up. Sex toys. Vacations. Sex in public places. New positions. Anal. Do new things to her. Try to make sex fun again for her.
If she won't cooperate, you could hire prostitutes. We don't judge here.
Anyway, I would not try to lower your libido. Try to raise hers.
Another option for you is to spend more time exercising. Tire yourself out and that will probably help lower your libido.

I have been married for 26 years now and we still have sex regularly - more now that I am on TRT than when I was at a test level of 153. A while back, we decided that each of us would ensure we "took care of " the other if we personally did not feel like we wanted it. It is always better when both are into it, but having her just take care of you (and you just taking care of her and not doing anything for yourself at times - sometimes women just do not want to have to clean up after...) is a lot of fun - and a big stress relief for her. Women are more mentally involved in sex than men and any type of stress can be a killer. If she knows she does not need to always be into it, she will actually be into it more often...strange, but it IS women we are talking about. 
And of course ALWAYS and CONTINUOUSLY compliment her and let her know the reason your libido is so high is because of HER. She is the one making you need it so much.

I did figure it was a common problem for men with their T levels under control. I've had multiple honest conversations with her about it and things kind of change for a week or so and it drops off again. You just get to the point where having the conversation again seems like such a drag. She knows about my low T before, she knows how i fixed it, she knows the problems i was having and why i was having them.
Both her and I are 33.
My wife has new underwear all the time, she actively buys it herself and models it for me but that's a once every couple weeks thing. I tell her daily how beautiful she is, and how she makes me feel. We are very much in love. We do everything together. We are affectionate, i can always find a way to talk her into sex in interesting spots, and she loves that.
Taking one for the team is something that she is willing to do occasionally. The problem is her not being into it just kind of doesn't do it for me.
I've thought about trying to get her to a female hormone doctor, i may explore this more.
We've never been shy about sex toys or experimentation. I'm also confident that sex is still fun for her. But as we've been together for a while, we know each others likes and dislikes, our sex life is amazing as far as quality goes. We take our time, we enjoy each other, she has multiple orgasms every time and is in ecstasy. You definitely cannot fake that. Most people would be ok with just that, on the occasional every other day, but mostly every 3rd, have amazing sex with your wife. Most people are cool with quality over quantity. I want quality and quantity, because my batteries recharge hours later, not days.
I definitely don't want to lower my libido, i am happy this way, it's just the anxiety of waiting, wondering when she will be in the mood again, not wanting to push her to hard, etc... drives me crazy. I think part of it is in the past she has said things like, i'm insatiable. I'm not, i just want her all the time, i've told her that. She's said i just use her for sex. I don't, or i would just pound it till i got mine, but i don't, i always make sure she gets hers, and not in a rush because i get as much or more pleasure from seeing that than i do from getting mine.
As for the exercise thing, i hike probably 12 miles every other day. I'm in sheer weight loss mode and it's hunting season so i've been looking for a deer. I come home absolutely exhausted, but on the way home all i can think about is if my wife is going to be in the mood on the way home. Exercise makes me want it more.
Now, i know i make it sound like i have it bad. I know i don't. The last talk her and i had, it was clear she thought our sex life was great. I told her i could have sex with her daily if she could do it. She didn't realize it was like that for me. I told her we don't have to have sex every single day, and she said she knows and we left it at that. I think that wasn't clear enough though. I think i probably needed to tell her that what i meant was if we have sex 2-3 days in a row, we can take a day off. To be quite honest, our sex life is a farcry from what it was prior to the TRT. It is so much better, so much more frequent (before we would go a week or more between), but i can't help that it's still not enough for me. I'm just wondering if i'm asking too much. I'm not asking for twice a day (except on vacation, because she is in the mood for it then), i'm just asking for like 5 times a week. That's like a work week but less commitment.

Prior to suffering from Low T, how often did you have sex? Did she used to want it more?
Do you have kids? That changes things.
And an observation. You said that you want to make sure your wife always "gets hers" every time you have sex. And multiple orgasms at that. That makes it sound like you are putting a lot of stress and pressure on her. You are basically saying that she has to be 100% into it every single time you have sex -- 5 times a week. There are just times women don't want it
Maybe she would be more willing to let you do your thing, throw in some moans and throw in a few things you like if she didn't have to have multiple orgasms every time.
I am by no means a sex therapist or psychologist, but that is just one guy's observation. I have been married a long time and I have had my share of sexual relationships for what it is worth. Sounds like you are putting a lot of pressure/stress on her.

Prior to low T we were having sex a max of twice a week. My T levels, based on what my doctor said, could have caused a state of depression/low confidence and weight gain that made my libido extremely low. My initial blood tests showed a T level of 330 (can't remember the units). It was more often once a week that we had sex. That's still probably a lot for some married men though lol. My T levels hang at about 950 now.
No kids and it may never happen. One of those, haven't been preventing for 6 years and it hasn't happened, which is fine. We will be ok with just each other.
She gets into it immediately. Honestly just getting her jump started is the key, and it's difficult to get her to do a favor all the way through that's not intercourse because once she's down there, she gets into it and wants a ride. Even when it's that time of the month this is the case. What i mean by getting her hers, is once she gets hers, i feel like it's ok to go for mine, not that i'm always pushing to get her multiples, that's just how it turns out when i'm going for mine. Now again, for some women, this isn't even possible, but for her it is. I want her to get something out of it, not just be a bang toy.
As for stress and pressure, the only way i can see that is if i'm just pushing her for it too often, that's why i said i generally hold back for a day or 2 at times to give her a break.
Her and i had another talk about it though. We are both very reasonable and level headed people, we never really argue, so it was a very good talk. There are things i'm not doing at home, outside the bedroom that i was unaware of, that would increase her ability to take her mind off of things, and put it on me. We both learned things, and she understands my needs a little better because i was more specific.
Thanks for the replies though guys, i do appreciate it. You guys are pretty cool.

So are you saying that when you had healthy natural testosterone levels that you only had sex once or twice a week? If so, this is a big change for her to start putting out every day.

Oh yeah, EVERYTHING affects a woman's desire for sex. You not putting your laundry in the hamper, not cleaning up after yourself, etc. That is a huge turn off. There are jokes that women pass around that say "Sexiest man alive" as the caption and it shows a man loading the dishwasher. Do that now and again (not too often, else it becomes your job and loses its effect) and makes sure she knows you did it (Honey, I loaded the dishwasher for you to help you out since you appear harried today) and watch the change. Just do not try for sex immediately after letting her know - women need time for it to sink in.
Also, most women are more needful at night and most men are more needful in the morning...so suck it up and shift to evenings if that is the case for her.

What do you mean by "healthy natural testosterone levels" ?

Presumably, you were not hypogonadal your entire life. Maybe you were, but most guys have not suffered from hypogonadism their whole life.
You would dose Liquidex the same way you would dose the pill form. You're able to break down the dosing of Liquidex much better than 1 mg tabs. You'll either have to cut the tabs into halves or quarters most likely, and with liquid you just suck up .25ml-.5ml depending on your dose and you're good to go.
As far as sourcing, I don't believe we can only open talk about sources on the forum

Sorry about the source question-new guy-I saw the ad for RUI Products at the top and thought it was ok. I'm on TRT currently and if I can't get the doctor to prescribe an AI i'll just get it myself. I will get my own lab test for Estrogen levels when it is time but is an average dose .25ml every 3 days? do I squirt it in my mouth or am I supposed to mix it with something?

RUI is a great source for Arimidex. I have been happy with everything that I have purchased from RUI. Get some Cialis too while you are at it.
