The ED problems you are describing sound like they are caused by high estradiol. Going soft during sex is a common problem when E2 is high.

So when you were injecting twice a week (every 3.5 days) how many milligrams were you doing for each injection? And over what time period did you do that? How much AI were you using and what was your E2 at?

I may have misspoke... I haven't ever went every 3.5 days... if I would have it would have been 50 mg though. Instead of 1 - 200 mg injection every 14 days, I went to 1 - 100 mg injection every 7 days... at that time I wasn't using an AI or even zinc and they didn't do an E2 test... only total T.

Right now ( I have an appointment soon) he will only prescribe 200 mg every 10 days... so a 10 ml bottle will last 100 days.

I think it may be time to find another TRT clinic or new doc. Unless you can get things broken up to smaller injections every 3-4 days your going to keep having issues I believe

I can pin every 3.5 days... but would 70 mg be enough to do anything? As far as finding another dr... I live in a small town... there's not much to choose from. I'd like to go to a real TRT clinic... but ins won't pay. A friend went to one in Nashville and he raves about it... but it's $1000.00 to get all initial tests run. I don't have that kind of dough.


I notice an ad for TRT Experts.... anyone on here use them?

Try 50mg every 3.5 days. If you can talk him into increasing your dosage even better. Just don't go above 100mg every 3.5 days. It is very unlikely that you would need more than that. Just remember to keep an eye on your estradiol.

Thanks Mega! Couple more questions... by pinning E3.5D when would be the best time to get a blood test to check Test & est (day of pinning, day after pinning or day before next pin)? What's the max Estradiol should I be looking for before needing an AI (hopefully I won't need one though)?

Check trough - so if you can on the day you pin, but before actually pinning. Or the day before that. You peak and trough will be much closer together on this protocol.

Most guys like their E2 to be between 20-40pg/ml on the Sensitive Assay. Keep in mind that if you get the regular estradiol assay, that it is often overstated by 10-20 points.

Awesome! Thanks for all your help & knowledge.

No problem, you should have one in your inbox. Regarding TRT place I use etc.

So here's my story... Been on TRT for 2 years now and having erection issues. This started happening about a year ago. Most of the time I have to use an ED med. My libido isn't what it used to be either... I'm on injections of Test-C 200mg every 10 days. 50 mg zinc to control Est. My last blood test was 6 days after injection and my T levels were at 720 and Est 28.

Stress is fairly high in relationship (kids that won't sleep/demand all of my attention) and work. My doc says it's due to the stress and not hormone related. Your thoughts??????

I got RUI CIA and I have to say that Cialis is something to try out, even just a few times and then think on it. I LOVE it!

Yeah... I bounce between RUI & CEM.... whomever has the best price! I've been actually wondering if they weren't the same place... my lab rats tell me the stuff tastes the same... and it's not bad ;-)

I'm just trying to figure out why I'm having ED issues while being on TRT... kinda thought it was supposed to be better. Funny thing is I had no ED probs before TRT and my TT was 202!

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but have you been checked for sleep apnea? I only ask, because I have just recently been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and believe that it has been exacerbated by TRT.

Like we have been saying, ED problems while on TRT are usually caused by high or low estradiol. Sometimes by high Prolactin.

I'm sure I have it... I snore alot and have never (at least no-one has complained) snored before.

Found a TRT Clinic that my ins takes today! Hopefully.... I'll be back UP and sailing soon
