Issue Performing
Hey guys a little background before the real question. I just did my third pin of Test E today and not having any issues. I know that I have another week or two before the fun begins. Here's the issue. My wife and I started to have a noon session today and things were going just fine. I was definitely in the mood but all of a sudden I went completely limp. I still had the desire but just couldn't salute and perform. I noticed my boys were riding high and not hanging like they should. Is it possible that try are shutting down and my injections aren't kicking in yet? Could it be estrogen related already even though my "sex drive" is there? I do have Aromasin but didn't plan to start until Week 3 with it.
I should point out that mid morning I started to feel a little achy all over and have a little bit of chills. No fever. Could the infamous test flu be setting in?
So many options and potential causes. I did ask oldhead in PM if he has any answers but if like to hear different opinions.
PS. Our sex life is very important to our relyionahip so I really want to figure this out quick. Thanks!

Have you solved this problem yet bro? I've been through this before. To me, it's of utmost importance to have happy, healthy, romantic, and sexual relationships.
Issue has been resolved, thank you for asking! I instantly started on 12.5mg Aromasin ED and I would say within two days my libido was back to normal, legs felt good, and I didn't have such bad night sweats. I'm having morning wood again and actually am pestering my wife every chance I can get. I have been running the 12.5mg ED for the past two weeks almost now. I just had bloods taken again yesterday to check my E2 levels again and verify the how well my AI is working.
That's good to hear bro. I've had similar issues which I've resolved, but it's sheer hell dealing with it while it's happening. And I can completely relate about pestering the woman! When I'm ready which is quite often any time of day or night, I want it immediately! It's the greatest thing in life IMO! It takes us to another world. hahaha
So what were your original E2 levels vs, now? If you don't mind sharing.
E2 levels after the first week were about 83, nothing crazy but it made symptoms appear for me. Just got the bloods back today and E2 is now at 22.5. Debating on dropping the dose of aro to either 6.25ED or 12.5EOD. Any suggestions?
Depends. Are you still on cycle? Any sides from the Aro that you tell? If still on cycle and no PCT within the next week planned, I would just stay with your current dose. Any sides from the Aro that you tell? If not, as I said don't change it if it's working.
I just completed my 4th week of my 12 week cycle. No issues with sides from the Aro that I can tell, or signs of low E2 that I've noticed. Maybe a little shortness of breath and a slight increase in BP. My E2 has come down 60 points or so in two weeks so I don't want it to get much lower. I took 6.25mg today and will continue that unless I notice any sides.
Hey bro if u want the magic pill until u figure this out , I would recommend cialis or Viagra or even some herbs such as yohmbie. I been there and it sucks because sex is very important for a relationship.
Sorry for bumping this up to the top but I got my bloodwork back. Test is >1500 already however my estradiol was at 82.7. I already took 12.5mg of Aromasin today. Anybody have a good protocol for bringing my estrogen back down safely and effectively?
Just keep taking aromasin until it goes down. 12.5 is good. U should get it back soon , just take some cialis for now
The libido was actually back before I started taking my AI, so I shouldn't need any Cialis. I am going to be taking 12.5mg every day for a week and then drop it back to 6.25ed. Thanks
I should point out the signs/symptoms I've been having after looking back at this first week:
Sweating at night
Massive sweating while working out, more than usual
Some loss of appetite starting yesterday
Achy legs yesterday (similar to getting sick), gone today
Able to achieve an erection, but lose it (yesterday)
Semi-hard erection today and able to finish (although it was lackluster)
No dehydration and actually peeing a lot
Mood and energy is good
AGain, bloods were done a few hours ago so hopefully that will give me some answers.
Update....I woke up this morning and felt great, I wasn't achy like I was yesterday in which I thought I was coming down with an illness. I tried to watch some porn, unfortunately the wife had to work this morning. I was able to get the job done however it wasn't what I had hoped for. Took forever and just didn't feel like it normally would.
I made the decision to go get some bloods done and get this shit figured out. It's been two hours since they were drawn so hopefully I will have some results soon.
Thanks guys I've decided that I will wait to see how I feel in the morning. I may have to load up an adult video and see how my guy works. If no improvement I will go get bloods done. This is my first cycle by the way.
Very Good!
Low estrogen sides?
Dry skin, dry lips, dehydration, loss of libido, good morning wood no wood when its time for sex, loss of wood while having sex, loss of sensitivity, irritability, mood swings, dull orgasm, hesitation just before urinating, night sweats, loss of appetite, constant fatigue, lethargy, constipation (due to dehydration), diuretic effect (pissing more water than you are consuming), itchy scalp...
I take it you didn't check your estrogen levels before this cycle? Or after your last cycle if you did one before. Otherwise there is really no absolute way to tell. A lot of times people can even mess up in their PCT and still come out with high estrogen levels.
Also it could be other factors stress etc. But sticking to the pure aas issue, I would go get tested before trying a bunch of solutions. If your sex life is very important to you don't skimp on finding the answer. Wish you the best of luck.
Are/were you trying too hard? (Serious question, Mate).
There's times when I'm on cycle, when the woods are throughout the day, all day long, when we've been going for an age of Sunday's and all I want to do is empty the fun-bags, with the result being, NOT TODAY.
The urge is there. The timing is there. The granite strong wood is there. Even the positioning is there. But I'm just.....NOT there.
And when you look down at your best Mate and start mentally talking to him, "Come on, Pal. You can do it. You can do t. YOU. CAN. DO. IT.........COME ON ALREADY!!! I'm f**ked", the stresses of the moment CAN have some really horrible effects on us guys. (SOME Ladies don't understand out pressures, do they guys?)
MAYBE your just being to hard on yourself to perform, Mate.
(If it happens again, I'd cut it off. It must be broken and is no longer of any use to you LOL)
I know exactly what you mean and the pressure has definitely been an issue once in the past.
The longer the day is going on the worse I am feeling, so I feel like I might have a slight bug or illness. Hopefully with a good night sleep and a few vitamin C I will feel better in the morning.
I appreciate all your thoughts and ideas on what can be a sensitive subject.
Just take your time, relax and get well soon, Mate.
In ALL aspects of your life ;)
ClassyChassisDoes your wife know what you are doing as far as the juice? Just wondering if there might be some subconscious guilt or anxiety affecting you psychologically.
Wife doesn't know as this is my first cycle. I want to see how my body reacts to it first. If this is something I will do more frequently in the future then I will most definitely have a discussion with her. Until then it's myself and you bros that know!
Test at dosages above 250mg/weekly make my dick useless and unreliable even with an AI.
Cialis will be your best friend through these times
I have to say I agree with this concept that more test did not add to my libido or erections. If anything the opposite has occurred. Until I started using HCG with my cycles then all is good.
What dose do you run your HCG during your cycle? 500IU twice a week?
Could be a lot of things; I.e., stress, chemical or hormonal imbalance. We all produce aromatase differently, so if its estro-related, you could be one that either aromatizes more rapidly or is more sensitive to estro. Won't hurt to try the aromasin early. Small dose, 6.25 ED and adjust if needed.
I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow and go from there. If I'm not ill tomorrow then I will know there's a different cause. I will hit up 6.25mg aro and adjust if needed. No other signs of increased estrogen though. Time will tell
Those are my thoughts as well.
31 and all pre cycle was good. I personally feel like I'm coming down with something and that the reason. I've had one issue like this before which was a long time ago.
BigBmajComing down with ED ;).
With it only happening once (recently), it litterally could be anything. Keep an eye on it and if it happens again, you can start narrowing it down (illness, estrogen, etc.). Lets hope it's a one time thing. Best of luck.
BigBmajIs this a new situation? How old are you? Did you have stuff on your mind? Did you have pre cycle blood work done?
Don't think estrogen would be too high at this point.
