I am not to much younger then you so it is nice to talk to some younger guys.
So I kind of took your advice and did the same thing you did. I lowered my T dosage thinking it could be E2. But I didn’t add a A.I. Based on the labs that im getting ready to post it looks like my E2 is lowering as I lower my testosterone dosage. I my self had a bilateral hydrocele and had them both removed about a year ago. Now my mind was thinking the same as yours that maybe this whole low testosterone situation was caused by having the hydrocele for 5 years. But other then that I don’t what would have caused this to my body. I defiantly thought that once I had the surgery things would be fixed but unfortunately that was not the case.
Did you ever find to exactly what caused you to have Low T even at 46 its not normal so I am just wondering what may have cause your body testosterone levels to drop.
As for my self I have no idea which really sucks because if I could figure it out I could treat the root of the cause
That is exactly what I am thinking so I lowered my dosage too 126mg weekly and I do 18mg injections every day of T and 250I.U EOD of HCG and this are my results that I am going to post
As you can see when I lowered my testosterone dosage to 126mg of T weekly doing 18mg ED injections and HCG at 250 I.U EOD my E2 dropped naturally without a A.I. It actually came down a good amount. Bu the problem at hand still stands. I can not maintain an erection using Cialis my penis feels really cold and gets shriveled for some reason. Also my semen seems to be very watery and the amount is very little.
Any suggestions?
Do you guys believe it is still my E2 and do you think I need to lower the E2 even more which means I would have to lower the dosage even more or do you guys think I should leave it at a high dosage and just use a A.I. It seems to be two different ways to lower your E2 not sure which one is best.
Does anyone have any thought process on the Thymosin beta 4 injections?
I will be running SHBG on the next set of labs so anyone can chime in on what they think about my SHBG
@roscoe88
Thank you for showing me that ratio formula I have been trying to figure out how people were coming up with that. So the 34 represents the E2
Here is my next question how can I do the two options you said?
How can I bring my E2 up and keep my TT the same or how can I bring my E2 down and keep my TT the same. Usually when you manipulate one the other gets manipulated as well. Can you give me any suggestions on which method you think is best?
Also what are you thoughts on HCG as far as libido rite now mine is all messed up. Its like I have no libido at all. Have you found anything that help you with libido? Because it seems that every time my levels are different my libido and erection quality changes with it as well?
Also other things I am noticing when things change Become unemotional and I get back acne and also I sweat really bad during se and only during sex and I don’t know why even if I am having slow sex I still sweat pretty bad
In my experience HCG makes my dick literally numb and cold. Like I could smack it around and not feel a thing. It also makes me retain water and makes me emotional even if I take an AI so I speculate that HCG itself has properties in the body that mess me up. If I were you I would bail on the HCG and just figure out the Test.
yes that exactly how my penis feels. It feels numb and cold and desensitize. Now I will say this I have been on HCG and have been completely fine with no porobelms. But with in time usually around 3 months max I end up having problems again.
So are you just on testosterone alone now? and have you seen any improvement being on just testosterone and have you seen any down side on being on only testosterone bits self?
So what made you start the HCG to begin with? and im kind of skeptical about stopping it due to fertility reasons and I have not had a kid yet and I would like too and Im scared that I will run into fertility issues such as my fertility not starting back up when it time too.
Dude, you can forget about the venous leak for now. 99% percent probability your problem is hormonal so don’t mess up your mind thinking about other stuff.
I am still dialing in and I am not perfect at all but I am much better without HCG. I feel like I am very close to getting things right. I’m so close I can feel it.
I started HCG because my Dr offered it and made it sound cool. I have learned over the last 1.5 years how powerful all these hormones are despite some people, Drs included, being very flippant about them like they aren’t a big deal. They are all a very big deal and adding or subtracting something has profound effects.
I haven’t had kids yet either. If anything, you are hurting your chances of conceiving by staying on HCG permanently because some Drs believe the Leydig cells can become desensitized to it. That is debatable. But if you take HCG when you want to conceive, that’s a proven, medically studied clinical use for that drug.
So here is one thing that has had me worried lately. I have started to notice that I’m hardly producing that much semen anymore. Have you heard of anyone else having this issue and do you know what might be the cause of it. Also I’ve noticed the little of bit of semen that I do produce is sometimes very watery and I don’t know why.
But yes I agree about maybe getting off of the HCG but I am willing todo what ever I need to so I can get properly dialed in with out compromising me being able to have kids.
I think that if my trial and error expire not does not work with the everyday injections this will be my next option is to go to every other day injections
Here are my new labs. This is with 16mg of T daily and 250 I.U of HCG EOD. @roscoe88 I did ad in SHGB this time around and remember the ratio you were telling me and it look like based off of these labs I still need my E2 to be higher . Idk Bro what do you think about a E2 higher then 43 you think I would be asking for problems. So based off my symptoms my errections deffintly improved a little but I would say that there was at least 3 times where I lost my errection during intercourse out of 13 times. The rest of the times I was pretty decent. But still I want to try to fix this problem to where I do not have to deal with it anymore.
I would actually lower your dose a bit and see what happens. 12-14mg a day perhaps.
How is libido right now?
Also, and issues w orgasming in a decent amount of time? I know when my numbers get high, that takes forever to happen. It’s likely due to raised serotonin from a higher estrogen amount.
You’re estrogen seems low for your T level. Anyways, have you checked DHT? I know several guys that had erection & libido problems who fixed both just by switching to topical T cream (good compound pharmacy grade). It raises DHT much higher than injections. That’s what I’d try next if I were you.
I’m using low dose Masterson right now for recreational reasons which raises DHT and my libido is insane. I have to have sex daily at minimum.
I’m astonished that you’re still not feeling a thing at this really high dose. Something doesn’t add up. You’d need to feel ‘something’.
I’m at a loss here.
You could be more of an @equel type that requires a really low dose. But what I find confusing is how could you ‘feel’ a low dose and not feel a high dose?
Stick with it longer just to properly do the experiment and then at least you’ll have a reliable, accurate result and outcome.
