Erectile Dysfunction issues.....PLEASE HELP!!!

[BulletWoods]

I would really appreciate you guys being helpful and not cracking jokes on this.

I REALLY need some help from you guys. As hard as it is to admit, I have started having E.D. issues. I am 35 years old and done two simple cycles over the last almost two years of Test 400 (600mg-12 weeks) and a cycle of Test Cyp (750mg-14 weeks). Never had an erectile issue in my life before PCT of this last cycle (my PCT was liquid Clomid (RUI) at 50/50/50/50). My sex drive has been abnormally low for me since right when I started PCT back at the beginning of August, and I have had a handful of different instances of ED pop up since then. I used liquid Cialis (RUI) at the suggestion of some of you guys during PCT and a couple weeks after just to be sure, and it works like a champ when I use it, but I shouldn't have to keep using it. My own test should be enough by now to handle business like it always has. I just want to be back to normal. I have a smoking hot fiance who gets it the way she always has at times, and then other times she is left to feel like it is her. My morale is at an all time low over this.....I NEED THIS FIXED!

Here is what is happening: I get hard, but it can go away very easily, if I am having an issue that night and I put a condom on, forget about it....game over. Sometimes there is no issue at all, and other times I am thinking "Oh God...please get hard." For anyone who has had the issue before, you def understand that the more you worry about it at the time, the more difficult it seems to become to get hard. A lot of the time, it is like I am working with only about 75-85% wood.

Is it possible my PCT did not work? Would getting back on Clomid and Nolva maybe right the ship? I am really at a loss. Guessing getting bloodwork done would be the first step to take, but do I do this on my own, or go see my doc to get it done? Thanks a million from one bro to the rest of you. I hope the issue gets easily fixed, and helps someone else in the future.

Sorry to hear this. Yes, it's possible that your PCT failed. But there's no way to tell without blood work. You'd also need to have your baseline to compare to. But you need to have blood work done for testosterone, LH and FSH.

Thanks for the response, Austin. Should I get bloods done on my own, or should I go see my doc?

 

[Austinite]

Either way is fine. Just don't mentioned cycling to a doctor.

Order the following panels:

Testosterone, Total
Testosterone, Free
SHBG
LH & FSH

- If your LH is high and your testosterone is low, this means you've developed primary hypogonadism. (Testes failed)
- If your LH is low, your testosterone would be also be low, and indicative of secondary hypogonadism. (Pituitary Failed)

Once you have your blood work, post the results so we can come up with a plan.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the input, Austin. I am not really sure how to go about ordering these tests since I have never had bloods done unless a doctor ordered it for some other reason. Any insight there?

Lots of people use Private MD labs. You can google them. Basically order the panels and they will tell you where to go get the blood drawn. Then they email you results. I think DreDay has a detailed "How To" thread.

If you've never had blood work, go ahead and add a Complete Blood Count panel and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel.

Could also be performance anxiety. Definetly get the bloods done though. Im suffering from performance anxeity myself, seems like you may be the same as me. As it only happens/worse when you worry about it. Until you've got the bloods done just try to relax, push it outta your mind and focus on your smoking hot fiance and what your gonna do to her.. Glad to hear cialis worked for you, i finally got my hands on a bottle from rui so fingers crossed it works for me too !

Certainly!

I definitely think anxiety over it is, at the very least, not helping. I am not thinking it will be primary hypogonadism because my boys never really even shrank up on this last cycle, and are as large and normal as they typically are. I guess I need to go get the bloods done and get them posted for you guys so you can help read them and formulate a plan. One of the many reasons I love this board, is guys sharing knowledge to help a stranger. Much appreciated, brothers!
Luckily, Aunt Flow came to town last night, so I can buy myself a week to get this shit hashed out!

Bulletwoods , sorry to hear tht bro I can understand ur situation and I must tell you I m in the same situation .. U get good looking girls and then u think about impressing girls n it doesn't get tht hard the way it used to be .. And then it gets worse , but bro do t stress urself out .. What's done is done so try to get the tests done tht Austin told you (he is really helpful and really has a vast knowledge about it ) even I have to get the same tests done .. So let's hope for the best and try to do what's in our hands now .. Have faith , it's very important to believe !! Take care bro and keep us posted with good news

 

[2rude4u]

It's difficult not to crack jokes when your third sentence starts with "As hard as it is". Lol...

But seriously, Austinite has given you solid advice, as he always does. The one thing that I would point out to you is you comment "My own test should be enough by now to handle business". Test levels are generally not the cause of ED. This has been proven in numerous studies.

You will not really know what your issues may or may not be, without full labs. Once you have those in hand the cause might be obvious or if not it will give you a good start, to begin a process of elimination.

Appreciate the input, bro. I really think it is mental, but want the tests to be sure. Best of luck on your tests as well. Please post in here once you get them and let us all know the outcome!

LMAO! Nice, bro! I literally lol'd.

Yeah, the neurotransmitter dopamine is very important for erections. Dopamine, testosterone, and adequate blood flow.

So very true.

This may be a stupid question... but would using a Dopamine agonist like prami or caber help out in that department? for performance anxiety issues...?

ED is not solely a result of low testosterone. Low T is a variable but not the only cause. I've seen plenty of guys with extremely high T with ED issues. ED can be a very psychological issue...which is the hardest to overcome.

In addition to having your bloods done, try a few things - supplement with argnine 5g (do NOT take with cialis) a day and tribulus, refrain from masturbation or watching porn (I'll explain this one), talk to your girl and let her know that you might need a little bit more support in that department for a little bit, try positions where you are upright to help blood flow (doggy, standing, etc.) stay away from alcohol and tobacco. If it is anxiety related, talking to your girl and her helping you out will really help in this department. Refraining from masturbation and porn will help keep sexual associations limited to your girl - makes it much more powerful. Arginine helps with blood flow but also acts as a nitrate which when mixed with cialis can cause dangerously low blood pressure. Alcohol and tobacco also hurt blood flow. During sex, focus on the orgasm. Even if you have an orgasm quickly, it's okay. Focusing on the orgasm keeps you from focusing on staying up.

Try these things before using cialis. Cialis is a great drug but it can quickly create a dependence, both physiological and psychological.

Very solid advice. I think most of us men have dealt with what you are dealing with OP. I know the mental aspect of it can kill things. I would take Dialtone's advice and Austinites and get that blood work done to see what your levels are at. Me personally, I use Cialis because it works but it also helps build confidence in the bedroom as well. Good luck. Post that blood work on here so we can help you out.

 

[Austinite]

I'm curious to know why arginine should not be taken with cialis. I can't see blood pressure dropping with the combination into any levels of concern. I'll have to look into that.

Excellent advice. The first time it has ever happened to me (without being blackout drunk) was just into post cycle therapy (pct) after my last cycle. I believe that one was all cycle related. But then after that, it got in my head and I'm sure everyone knows the power of that scary feeling of it getting up and staying up. I am going to get bloods done in a few minutes here, but I really think it is all mental. My girl randomly dropped to her knees Saturday afternoon in the kitchen and I had ZERO issues. Gave her a shock and aww kind of performance. For me, the hardest part (pun totally intended) is if she starts to handle biz on me and stops and plays anywhere but there, I start worrying if I am still hard etc. It is seriously a shitty and helpless feeling. I am getting bloods done regardless, but I really think for me, it is mental. A few solid performances in a row along with good bloodwork oughta get the mind right. Would you still suggest the Argnine or wait til bloods come back? I know what you mean on Cialis. Confidence booster that has serious mental dependency (similar to gear), but I am for sure taking that shit before and during my honeymoon!

Thanks, bro. It is s shitty feeling because you feel like the first person it has ever happened to, but you are right. It has happened to all of us at one point or another, but more than likely the vast majority of us on this board.

Yes. And OP is a hot cheerleader. And 2rude has flames behind him as we speak. Halfwit is actually the real spongebob as well.
