    Help Needed, struggle with erections

    I am in need of advise. In the last thre weeks I have struggled with week erections. I was taking .7ml of test cyp and .5ml of deca twice a week. I recently finished the cycle and I am currently taking .5ml of test cyp twice a week for HRT.

    It seems since I finished the cycle that included deca I am experiencing week erections. I tried .05 cialis but it does not seem to help.

    Any help is appeciated

    From what I understand its most likely elevated prolactin and/or e2. Did you get bloodwork done? Maybe a vet can jump in here. Also cialis won't help your libido no matter how much you take

    with your .5ml and everything we have no idea the mg/ml of the test your taking.

    sounds like deca shut you down and the test has not kicked in yet. deca can shut down your natty 100% after the first week. it can doesn't mean it does to that degree

    we do not know the doses for it to be an E2 issue. but it does leave me curious cause he doesn't state running an ai or serm or anything

    Yes, if you failed to control E2, prolactin goes up. You're just developing female characteristics. At this stage you'll need Blood work first, but also Pramipexole or Cabergoline to control prolactin, and adjust your AI dose.

    Are you even taking an AI?

    but when you increase the ai dosage prolactin won't go down with e2?

    Yes, I'm talking .025mg of anastrozole twice a week on shot days.

    Currently running .5ml of test cyp twice a week. Went in for blood work last Monday and have not received the results.

    At that stage it's too late if you're continuing with cycle. but if you stop injecting everything, eventually it will go down on it's own.

    I'm on HRT so I most likely will not stop the injections however, I can increase the AI. If I get the prami or caber will that assist with the erection issue?

    Get some blood work asap. You ran 250mg in january and you experienced gynecomastia symptoms. Time for reality and less guessing.

    Good luck.

    Correct however, the doc recommended anastrozole .025 EOD and my blood work looked great in March..

    So you don't recommend anything different until I get the results of blood work?

    Other than the items mentioned above is it possibly that I'm having these issues from not gradually decreasing the amount of test from 3cc per week to 1cc per week?

    Thanks again for your feedback

    It won't hurt to increase your AI some while you wait for results.

    Take your adex the day after your test injection. Not the day of. Time the peak for more effective usage.
