    I know this is an old thread, but it's relevant to me at this point and I hope nobody minds I'm bumping this. I'm on TRT via the site sponsor since Oct 2013 and I'm having erectile issues although my test sits around 1044 and my e2 is a 39. It was suggested to me that a low dose of daily Cialis could really be beneficial for me as it goes down almost as soon as it goes up, which means sex life is non-existent and that doesn't make for a happy wife nor myself.

    Cut to the chase: Any clue on what the site sponsor charges for their low dose Cialis? Trying to figure if I can manage it into the budget.
    Thanks!

    Consider backing down the T dose a bit. You may feel better at a lower level, and you'll make less E2.
    When my E2 is too high I lose the erection too soon.

    Good advice right here.


    LFH40,

    Your e2, if this is on the sensitive assay, could stand to come down a bit. 39 is too high for most guys, and could absolutely be contributing to your ED. The majority of men on TRT seem to feel their best in the 20-30 range, I'd say that we see more guys prefer 20-25.

    Bringing e2 down without an AI seems to work best for most guys. So lowering your dose of testosterone seems to make the most sense for you. Most guys are able to bring their e2 down by injecting smaller doses, but with greater frequency.

    There are also quite a few guys who seem to function better when their testosterone isn't close to maxing out the reference range. You'll see it posted here a lot, more is not always better when it comes to TRT.

    What does your free T look like on your current protocol?

    If you posted the details of your protocol here I'm sure we could help you figure out a way to make the right changes. And obviously, this is the type of thing that you'll want to talk to your doctor about as well.

    As of September on my annual lab, see below. (I am taking my 6 month labs this coming Tuesday morning, so we will see where it all sits)
    Total Testosterone: 1044ng/dL 348-1197
    Free Testosterone: 25.6 pg/mL 6.8-21.5
    Estradiol, Sensative: 39pg/mL 3-70

    I inject .25cc every Wednesday and Saturday, and hCG .25cc on Tuesdays and Fridays.
    I was prescribed Anastrozole, but I've crashed it before just on 1/2 a pill twice a week. I backed it down to 1/4 twice a week. Back in the fall I got nervous about crashing it again and I stopped it altogether. I know everyone is different. Some guys do well taking an AI everyday, but for me I don't think that is the right thing. I crash too easily. So before taking an AI again I want to see where I sit with the labs next week when I get my blood drawn. I go to LabCorp if that makes a difference in reviewing my numbers as other labs may have different reference points?

    I haven't really had great erections since starting TRT. I FEEL a lot better after being a 192 total T, but the sex life is non-existent with the wife and if I have to clean the pipes on my own, as soon as any manual stimulation is stopped, so does jr. No morning wood, no nocturnal wood and not even a thought about any spontaneous erections. It's sad compared to when I was 20. I think in addition to maybe changing my protocol, I would really like to incorporate Cialis into my protocol either way.

    Would dropping my dose have a negative effect on my workouts? As I mentioned in other threads, I was in decent shape for being over 40 until an on the job accident left me with two shoulder scopes in the last year. February was the first time I ever got to lift weights on TRT. I haven't even had a chance to see what TRT can do for my workouts. Don't get the wrong idea, I don't want TRT for my workouts, I have the tumor and I don't produce enough T, but I'm fascinated that I worked out for all these years with T in the 200s and 100s and stayed lean and defined, but now I have what I need in my system and want to get the maximum benefit of TRT.

    I apologize for getting off base. I felt like I should explain my background a bit if I am asking for help. I won't go off on a tangent in a thread where it's only quasi related to the topic
