So just to circle back and keep my thread updated... Erection quality has been excellent. I'm at 100mg/week down from 140mg/week and injecting 3x MWF. Erection quality returned almost immediately after dropping my dose. Now, I've added nandrolone and primo. Running both at 100mg/week...

Currently 3x, MWF.

UPDATE: I've reduced my dose to 100mg/week. It's been a couple weeks. I've had night time erections almost every night the last week or so. I can't remember the last time that was happening. I've had a few spontaneous erections through some of the days. Again, that hasn't happened for a...

Another option I'm looking into.... After starting TRT, I started daily tadalafil. I used it for the health benefits and sex benefits. But, it gave me awful heartburn. I've battled heartburn since and have tried to limit, but have taken a lot of PPI and H2 heartburn meds. Both seem to carry...

Does that crush your SHBG?

This is about TRT causing ED. Not whether or not TRT will fix ED. I posted a similar thread a while back. Even with Low T, my erections and libido were solid. Not until years on TRT did they diminish. We're still missing a piece of the puzzle for some of us. Just like the original post, my...

I take a half dose of a multivitamin a few times a week. I'm not much of a believer in taking 10,000% daily recommended dosages of everything every day. I also take prescription omega3's, vitamin D3 and K2 and creatine. I've always been interested in health and fitness, so I've tried...

I've tried to take into account that an AI will reduce T being converted to E2 so may raise Free T. So, I've taken my dose higher to get Free T higher. It only gets worse as I get Free T higher. I've taken proviron, thinking it may be a DHT issue. That has no effect on this issue. I don't...

I appreciate the sleep apnea talk and agree that if you have sleep apnea, I doubt you can figure out any health problems you're having without first fixing your sleep. However, what literally.me and I are talking about is a different phenomenon. This is related to the TRT in some way. I can...

That's where I'm trending now. I'm thinking of maybe just finding a dose that puts me in the 500ng/dl Total area. That would probably put my Free T at 20ng/dl or less. I know I certainly do better at 700 than I do at 1000 for a variety of reasons.

I'll be your anecdote. That link is about TRT not leading to better erections or sex drive. What about when TRT results in less erection quality? I don't want anyone to hear what I'm saying and suggest "he says killing estradiol levels is good for erections." I don't know the mechanism...

Not exactly. I was dialing in the first year. At 6 months or so I had complete ED and when I stopped injecting 2x a week and went to more frequent, it helped. Also, anastrozole woke me back up. But the first year I was gradually increasing my dose as well and as my levels continued to rise...

I haven't measured my estradiol in some time. I may take a good dose of anastrozole to see what happens. Effect of estradiol on penile erection: a cross-sectional study...

I take large amounts of citrulline, arginine and beet root to try to account for this. That would be a solution to the issue you're describing, correct?

My lowest Total Testosterone reading before TRT was in the 170ng/dl range. At that time, I had no erection issues. 10mg of tadalafil or 20mg of sildenafil would light me up all night. I would have sex every day at times when the wife was willing. Once I started TRT, that quickly moved to 4x...
