UPDATE
Hi guys. I'm about 6 months since starting treatment. Been working with a new helpful doctor now - all usual TRT meds are available.
I've switched to 125mg/wk (1x injection per week). I've noticed nothing in terms of ups/downs during the week on this protocol.
From a blood results point of view, everything looked good, except the high E2. So I tried adding 0.5mg Adex twice per week (total 1.0mg per week). This lasted two weeks, then I stopped taking the Adex.
What i noticed from taking the Adex is I dropped some water weight, looked leaner and ED issues set in.
I've been continuing with test only for the last 6 weeks.
Great things about being on TRT: mood is great, no anxiety or depression, I'm stronger than I've ever been (at a lower body weight), I'm leaner, motivation and enjoyment for life are great.
The pesky negatives are: ED issues are present, libido is still inconsistent, I'm starting to get annoyed with my atrophy.
My plan going forward, and here's where I'm looking for some input:
I want to try some Cialis - for the ED issues. I'm thinking my libido may actually be OK, but the ED issues make it seem like there is a libido problem. Mind you, my libido has definetly been a lot higher while on TRT. I'd love to be able to get that again! Liquid Cia is on order and due to arrive shortly.
I'll redo my baseline blood tests whilst on 125mg only. Then i'll try Adex again at a lower dose - probably 0.25mg twice per week (0.5mg total/wk). Try this for 3 weeks then retest.
Another option would be to alter the test dose, but this is something i'll consider later.
Will also look to add HCG once the E2 is dialled in (to address the atrophy).
I also need to get a sleep study done - something I've yet to get around to doing.
Are you using Cialis for your ED? I am also in Australia (Perth) and on TRT. No ED problems, however i use Cialis for its health benefits. I ordered liquid Cialis from the states and it gets through customs every time.
