Wondering if this is low estrogen

**NOSUPERMODEL** · 11-04-2011, 08:03 PM

Okay so me and the wife had some nice sex this afternoon. The erection was good. I would say 90%. But as soon as we were done my buddy looked like he was ready to go take a nap. Completely limp. Now I am on 200mgs Test Cyp every week with Anastrozole 1 mg on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Could my estrogen be too low. Also noticed I don't recover as quick after sex. I have never given blood since on TRT. Could my blood be too thick and I am not getting adequate flow? Or is it estrogen? Should I drop my AI some? Opinions please.

3 mgs of anastrozol a week is a lot, what other symptoms? Back aches, joint pain?

**NOSUPERMODEL** · 11-04-2011, 10:04 PM

No not really any joint aches or back aches. This is just one thing I noticed.

Knock the AI back a little at a time and see if it changes, it's quite a bit for 200mgs of test.

exactly my thought JD!

NoSuperModel, what did you base you AI dose on? generally its 1mgs AI per 100mgs test! when i was on 200mgs test i was taking 1/2 mg AI 4 times a week and my e2 was 19!

It's been a while back but basically I was at 250mg of test a week and 2 mg of AI a week. Went to the doctor and E was high. So he upped it to 3mg a week. 6 weeks later my E was at like 17. So the next blood test it was at 30. So I said okay I will stick with the 3mg. All this time I had problems with acne so one day I decided to drop my test back to 200mg a week to see if that would help with the acne. Well it did a little bit, but I also started hearing from people that I had lost some weight.(I started a thread about that). So I have just left it at 200 and 3. Maybe I need to just go get my blood work done. I haven't been since early September.

blood work will definitely show whats going on, but if i had to bet on it I'd say your e2 is low!

I had the same problem.
My wife takes a little longer ,so after i would

i used to let i marinate for a bit until she could hit her sweet spot. This has not been possible since starting trt because of the wet noodle effect right after finishing(Sorry for sounding like dr Ruth)
I too started out at 200mg test c 1.1 mg 3x/wk.
Recently i dropped my ai to see if my joint pain would go away.
My dose is now 100mg test c .25 mg Anastrozole 2x/wk ,so far i have noticed some joint releif and libido improvement.
I wonder if this is a normal issue when on trt?
I will be following this thread since this is of great concern to me to.

gotta say that post deserved three post counts

Maybe the little guy just did a good job and was "spent"....

**Fred40** · 11-06-2011, 11:08 AM

I'm starting to wonder if the maintenance dosage for Arimidex might be less than 1mg per 100mg of test?

I'm on 100mg of test cyp and started taking 1mg of AI a week. That worked great up front but has since become too much.

I've cut back to .75mg a week and I'm considering going to .50mg based on sides.

Will need a blood test to really tell the story though.

i use a little less myself...but for the record...that 1mg per 100mg is just a basic guidline/to start/...

finding your own 'sweet spot' is always been the best recommendation...

back to the above posts...never again will i use anything different for my steak than a dry rub...dont even wanna hear the M word again

i was thinking the same thing, but in stead of lowering AI i'll increase test dose a little. it hard as is splitting the stupid little anastrozole pill in half!

I cut mine into quarters with a pill cutter.

well i cut all i have with a blade and they are uneven, will the cutter still cut the halves?

**JD250** · 11-06-2011, 10:47 PM

Oh hell yes Bass, I used to get mad as hell cutting those tiny cabor pills when I ran deca , bought a cutter and couldn't believe it, it will quarter just about any pill and do it fairly well.

Vickenkalle.......I'm not sure I've ever heard someone use the word "marinate" in the context that you just did, I'm still trying to process exactly what that entails.

**NOSUPERMODEL** · 11-07-2011, 10:19 AM

Well it was a pretty rompous weekend and the problem was the same every time. Defiantely going to go get some blood work in the near future.

**JohnnyVegas** · 11-07-2011, 11:24 AM

I agree with the people above that recommend dropping the AI dose. I sound like a broken record, but here is my weekly reminder that I take 200mg/wk and use ZERO AI and my E2 stays very low. It is my belief that not everyone needs it at TRT doses.

**swllce** · 11-07-2011, 06:21 PM

Just trying to keep it Kosher for our female members

Hope they don't read this one lol!

Cut one pill at a time. Cutting them all and putting them in a bottle the bigger pieces fall to the bottom and small to the top. You'll end up getting uneven dosages. Always, one pill at a time.
