So I seem to have worse ED than prior to ED. Is it because the Estrodial is so high? I would think with the high free T I would be like a bull. Doctor recommended Viagra but geez i would like to not have to use a drug. I am taking 0.25 X 2 a week. Is Estrogen the biggest culprit here?

As a follow-up... I am 5"8...180lbs and approximately 23% BF. I really just need to get my BF down. I use AI 0.25 X 2 a week but is that really too little? How quickly can AI bring down Estrogen further?

You numbers are way high. Who's doing your TRT? What is your schedule?

 

[oldmusclemike]

need to see your prolactin level. Did I miss that

So what are you taking ? And correct BF% too high. What up

Your estradiol is actually ok for a 1600 test result. its almost 25:1. so i doubt its estradiol related. Besides when my estradiol was high i was getting wood everytime the wind blew. Prolactin like mentioned above. TSH, Free t3, Free t4, reverse t3, TPO, TGAB for hypothyroidism. Do u work with a chiropractor? I know it might sound whacky but a lot of the nerves for penis run though the pelvis and lower back. Get some regular tuneups to try it out and see what happens. Other than that there is cialis and trimix.

So I am on Pellets which I am not liking as my Test is too high. I am going to order Prolactin Test. I think I am going to switch from Viagra to Daily Cialus. What is the typical dosage guys take.

And yes I need to shed another 20# Total Agreement with all inputs above. I think some of my tests like the T3, TSH, T4 are all in range.

This ED thing is a horrible kick in the pants!

Estradiol seems too high with 59.
You should up your AI dosage and it should be better.
I'm need daily dose of 12mg aromasin (equivalent to 0,12mg of your AI).
With lower amount I also have really fast ED and libido problems and now my E2 level is around 38 with it and I feel good.

So I just got done working out and my nipples are very sensitive and I was a bit weepy and nostalgic over a recent memory. Based on my reading here I think I am definitely high on Estradiol. I did just get my blood tested for Prolactic....wait a week on results. If I want to increase from 2 X .25 MG AI to a higher increment...should I just do .09MG Daily then? I don't want to crash my E2 either. I guess I will test every other week E2 until I get dialed in.

I am losing weight too.

I think in future I might get setup with IMT. He seems to know some thing about these issues more than my doc.

I would do .5mg 2x a week. This is my current protocal and I'm 5'8" at 165 lbs with maybe 15% body fat.

I take Nature Thyroid 1/2 Gram and .10MG Flecainide (Heart Rhythms issues) and a baby aspirin.

That is the frame I want to get to with a little muscle. Sounds about right. I am 5"8 - 181 with 22% BF. Is it hard to get lower than 15% BF....seems like getting close to 10% will be hard.

 

[ajgnaples]

So would it be smart for me to take up my AI by .05MG X2 a week every two weeks and pull blood every two weeks to dial-in properly? My concern is possibly crashing my E2 by going from 25MG to 50MG right away. Thoughts?

guys do it all the time, its all about discipline.

Prolactin

need to see your prolactin level. Did I miss that

So what are you taking ? And correct BF% too high. What up

My Prolactin result was 8.1 NG / ML on a reference range of 2.0 - 18.0 NG / ML

5 grams cialis is a good daily dose. You'll probably ready when you want to be. If not, add viagra, starting at 25 grams and up it from there if needed.
