Mystery of my vanishing boner + Labs

[Schweddy]

I've been on the same dose of 100-120 Mg Test Cyp E7D for 6 years. I started liquid cialis 6 months ago. Recently I've had some weak nightime/morning wood but when it's go time: nothing. This is even on a higher dosage of Cialis.

Labs indicate my T and Estradiol have crept up. I suspect either my T batch varied from bottle to bottle or I goofed an injection.

How long until Captain Granite returns to active duty? Do I need an AI? HCG? My protocol has been great thus far. How do I get my E2 down? Any supplement suggestions?

Testosterone. 1057. (264-914 ng/dL)
Labs taken on day 5 of 7 day rotation. I estimate my max at 1450 or so.
Estradiol. 33.6. (7.6 - 42.6 pg/mL)
(I have had my estradiol higher with no ED issues).

Should I be concerned about this:
A/G Ratio: 2.5. (1.2 - 2.2)
Alkaline Phosphatase. 36. (39 - 117 IU/L)

Thanks all.

Did you get lipids done? Your E2 is fine why do you want to bring it down?

Also what is your free T?

 

[Schweddy]

I just got a CBC panel. I don't know Free T or lipids.

I've had my E2 higher with no ill effects before. I just want a boner (preferably my own).

No need to decrease E2, last thing you want to do is bottom out. Free T looks good, probably decreased LH with which HCG will definitely help. Always good to get a FSH and LH with all labs not to mention dhea and shbg to test hpta function.

boners are good. Especially when they are your own

LH was 0.1. (1.7 - 8.6 mIU/mL)
FSH was <0.2 (1.5 - 12.4 mIU/mL)

I had low DHEA on my last labs. I started supplementing and started to break out like a teenager.
Not sure about my SHBG.

I've not tried HCG with TRT. Do you think that will help? Perhaps somebody could suggest or PM me a legit source as my doc will not prescribe it.

I have Hashimoto's as well which adds to the mix.

Thanks guys.

Yea they always come in right around 0.2 when on TRT. I was thinking lipids are important because if your TRT increases cholesterol, which it has a tendency to do, then your new problem could be reduced blood flow from build up.

I ask about free T because although your TT is in range I bet your free T is 300. TC tends to increase free T more than other applications, and thats what really matters. In other words your free T might be too high and this can make you feel like crap too after being on TRT for a prolonged period.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I donated blood last Sunday. They told me my total chorestoral was 170 and I typicically have very high "good" chloestoral.

I'm still baffled. 10 mg liquid cialis last night and nothing.

I'm going to take a hard look at adding HCG. (Pardon the pun.)

HCG is the best hormone for men since testosterone, I personally think is stupid to not do it with your TRT.

Anyone not using HCG with their TRT is a dinosaur in my humble opinion

you start taking any dht blocking meds? or any other meds?

anything for hair loss maybe? or a new medication, or change in dosage of medication?

How often do you take the cialis? I take it on and off. If I take it regularly then I seem to build up a tolerance and it's effectiveness is much less if list all. I discontinue use and the next time i take it is like the first time again. Try giving it a break for a week or two maybe? I know several people who have had the exact same experience. Just a thought

 

[Entourage_Doc]

In regards to cialis, 5mg per day is max if taking daily, should start around 2.5mg per day and increase as needed not to maximize 5mg per day.

If dosing is in regards to sexual activity, then an as needed dose can be up to 20mg.

For me with Cialis I don't take it EVERY day but very often. When I think it will be the night to play with wife I'll do 15-20 mgs. I have gone on spell of everyday @ 15mgs. t will stay with me at least 2 to 2-1/2 days .

I also take it for vascularity along with some Nitric Oxide as a pre-workout. I'm already very vascular naturally but with both I'm a budging road map.

I've heard most do 5 mgs a day. Thanks Entourage for the pointes good info ! at least for me Ha !!!
