+ 1 Bedroom Problems on Test Only Cycle!
Okay, here is the situation. I am running a test only cycle. If you go to my previous posts, you can see exactly what I am running. I started with both P and E, The E at 250mg twice a week (Sun night, Thurs morning) and the P for the first 4 weeks at 125mg every other day. I will be 6 weeks in this Sunday, so I dropped to just the E less than a couple weeks ago. My libido and everything was fine while I was using the P, but it seems to have plummeted a bit since moving to only the E. It is strange, because I will get erections at random times here and there, and I can perform most of the time... But, I have no morning wood and I have been getting some pretty weak boners here and there... And, to be completely honest, I have been a bit disinterested in sex altogether. And THAT, my friends, is strange. I am using Aromasin at 12.5mg... I was on every third day, but I switched to every other day this week to see if that could help. Idk. It is kind of a shitty situation. My girlfriend keeps thinking it is her or that I am not attracted enough and all that stuff. It is not that at all. Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Again, I CAN get an erection. I often catch myself with random ones a couple times throughout the day... But it is so inconsistent. It is not impotence... But it is definitely something. However, I do not know exactly WHAT it is. Any advice or shared experiences will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

JohnnyBlackAll about finding that dosage AND ai that works for you my friend
I was there when I started TRT after awhile my libido when down to nothing my test levels were good and my estrogen was in normal range. My endo started me on 250 iu twice a week of HCG boom libido stronger then ever. My FSH and TSH levels tanked which is a regular side effect when you supplement with testosterone. Check your levels but if you have HCG I would try that protocol.
Just throwing this out there. Since you are no longer taking the Test P and just the Test e, would you now have less total T that could potentially turn to estrogen now. If your AI dose is the same but you have less T and thefefore less potential for aromatization, maybe you are tanking your estro by keeping the same AI dose?
Been there too. Everyone's advice is good regarding their thoughts on gear and ancillaries to control estrogen levels. But also consider other factors like sleep, diet, and possible overtraining. My issue was mainly not getting more than 5 hours of sleep a night despite using enough test e to satisfy my lady at least 10 time a day. Look at these possibilities and get some bloods done periodically. Wish you well bro.
Drop the Aromasin, thank me later.
I think he may be right. I was using Arimidex 12.5 e3d. that day and the day after I would not stay hard. I have read alot on here use an AI, but I dropped it now and I'm back to a rock. good luck
GearofWarThis sounds very familiar to me. I've been there brother. It definitely is E2 related. Blood testing is your sure fire answer. But, your AI's could be the culprit as well. Bunk, under dosed, overdosed, so on. Personally I was experiencing the same exact thing as you and I changed my AI and source where i was getting my AI. Aromasin turned out to be the problem. It was too suicidal on my E2 levels. I switched from exemestane to adex and that made a big difference.
What dose were you taking on the exemestane? What dose are you taking on the adex now and what was the big difference?? Just curious because I have both and never needed them until now, I got loss of sex drive and very very tired all day long
Same here. When my E2 is in the dirt, so is my wood quality regardless how much T I have flowing.
Also GRordie, mentally if you are worried about performing, then chances are you will have an issue.
Yeah, I have read a lot into performance anxiety. I do not think this, in itself, is really the issue. It is just the physically aspect and THEN, when that is making itself apparent as a failure... THAT is when it becomes mental and just kills any chance there may have been. Haha. Yeah, man. I need to get a blood test.
And there ya' have it homey.. Please post update after bloods to help others in question. ( Curious as to what your Test/E2 ratio is at )

Be sure to order the E2 Sensitive Assay or the test will be useless brother. Hope this helps a bit.

Yizzir. Mega thanks!

WithdrawlThis happens to me if my estrogen is too low or too high. I'd start using your aromasin daily, not every other day. The half life of aromasin isn't long enough to have truly stable levels by dosing every other day. My recommendation is to try 12.5mg every day and give it a full week at that dose to stable out completely and see how you feel. 12.5mg isn't enough to crash your estrogen too low but should be enough to get it down quite a bit, IF that is in fact the problem.
I am gonna try this and see if it helps. I sure hope it does. This is a somewhat scary problem. Not only physically but psychologically as well.
Yea bro just relax, stress is another factor here so just relax and enjoy you gains!!
WithdrawlTry as best you can to relax and not let it get in your head too much! That will only make matters worse. Don't worry man, you'll get it sorted out I'm sure.
GearofWarThis is sound advice also. The first time it happened to me I was freaked out and I was letting my head win. Also, if you're on open terms about AAS with your woman be honest and she should understand that it's not her.
Yeah, she knows and I actually texted her this morning about all this as I was on here and also looking up stuff elsewhere around the web. She is 100% understanding. Thankful for a woman like that, man. Thankful for you guys, too. Very helpful. All of you.
GearofWarThat's what we're here for my guy. Hope everything gets sorted for you brother. Your woman sounds like a keeper too. You'll be all good before you know it because you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Peace!
Im just going to throw some ideas BUT i dont really have a lot of experience with this.
-Estro could be too low,
-underdosed gear
is your AI a research quem? or pharma?
is your test p and test e from different srcs?
^^This and never count out the psychological aspects of things.
I have had good gear and great libido, but the wanting of sex was not there. So it could be endless amounts of variables that could be causing this.
The P and the E are both from the same source, and that source is held high here on Eroids.
My AI is from a different source, but this is one of the VERY top here on Eroids.
And, like I said... I can perform MOST of the time. There have been a few times recently it has been difficult for me to get properly aroused, and this just fucks with my head and makes it even worse... Once I realize it is kinda not working out, it bothers me, and it is pretty much game over from there. Idk, man. It is definitely not cool.
