Low Libido/no morning or spontaneous wood
Been on TRT almost 2 years now, adjusted dose multiple times to get good numbers and an improved sense of wellbeing, recent blood-work showed T level around 1000ng/dl with sensitive estrogen at 173 pmol/L
I understand the estrogen is slightly high, i am only currently using 80mg of Cypionate a week to attain these levels. I have also been using 5mg Cialis daily to aid with bloodflow and sexual function (for the same duration as I have been on TRT)
I noticed the last few months I have no morning wood or spontaneous erections anymore, also I barely think about sex or get horny, seems my sex drive is very low.
Erection quality is ok when actually having sex, but not as good as it has been in the past.
Just wanted to know if maybe taking an AI would help as I have Arimidex on hand, or wether I should further lower my dose or maybe add HCG into the mix.
Any help would be appreciated as I see so many conflicting opinions on the web its hard to know what to do.

Proviron solved this issue for me, and I’m almost out of it. Thanks for the reminder to reorder, LOL
I keep meaning to try this but keep forgetting to order it.
I took 0.25mg of Armidex last night and within a few hours started feeling horny as a dog on heat -- just woke up and morning wood has returned, this has got to be placebo right? Would Arimidex kick in that fast?
Get that estro under control #1 but also at our age the morning wood and thinking about sex constantly goes away with all the other stuff we have to deal with but as soon as mama lays down in that bed and I smell the scent her lady part is giving off it gets up and gets ready for playtime. As long as you can still get up on command I wouldn't worry about it
That’s a big estro number for that test dose. Something to be aware of for the future, you’ll need to be cautious as you’re a high converter it appears.
Need to get that number down for sure. Low / regular dose of AI for a couple of weeks or three then ideally get another blood test if possible.
Maybe look into pt 141, it’s a peptide used for low sex drive
I’ve heard that stuffs intense, like you’d only want to use it for a party weekend or something and not on a regular day because it turns you into like a sex maniac or something lmao. Idk tho I’ve never tried it but just what I heard
If you already have a good sex drive it probably supercharges it, I know you are only supposed to administer 2x per week so at high dosages it’s probably pretty wild
You should try some L-Carnitine to upregulate the androgen receptor.... and something to lower shbg.
My SHBG is already quite low its sitting around 16nmol from my last blood work, I worry that could be part of the problem? Do you think L-Carnitine would be worth a shot?
L carnitine is really good. Now vitamins has a liquid version that works best for me
One time, I was drinking shots of liquid Acetyl-L-Carnitine every day for a few weeks right before I started a cycle to help burn fat. Once the cycle kicked in I had the most manic boner rage, I slept with this fat hog I met at the bar. While it was a good release, it was the most evil post nut syndrome I've ever had. I think if you time the ALCAR just right it, like before a cycle or when you're cruising on a low dose, it can work wonders..
Dude. When I use L carnitine before cycle it a much better cycle. It’s night and day difference
ALCAR is cheap and it works.
I have heard crashed shbg can do that. You might be on to something with trying hcg. Vigorous steve has a youtube vid about crashed shbg levels. Might be worth a watch.
I have been trying to gather info on the low SHBG theory and it seems it can be a problem, I love Steve’s stuff so will have a search on youtube now see what I can find.
Gonna grab some HCG tomorrow and see how I go with a low dose twice weekly
Be careful if your estro is high because hcg can raise it further so you might want to try the Ai route first but your on a very low dose of test, but you also seem to be a high responder, I’d go with a very very low dose of an Ai but maybe research how that will effect your shbg because idk how Ai”s effect shbg so you don’t want to make that issue worse
