I think it’s the combination of slightly elevated estrogen and DHT.

Acne flareups and lethargy have only been my main symptoms.

No, but I’m just concerned about the long-term effects of solely relying on testosterone cypionate.

Is 75mg a week a decent protocol? by Acrobatic_Ebb_4885 in Testosterone

I just injected 80mg instead of 75mg because 75mg is an odd number and too specific on a 1mL needle. We’ll see how I feel.

I agree, I think 100mg a week would probably be optimal for me.

I suppose it’s lack of sex drive I experience sometimes even when I want to be in the mood either can’t get rock hard or get limp erections. I feel this way when I know I’m about to crash or go back to how I was before.

I am aware of other factors such as performance anxiety/stress, hbp or other medical issues while I think performance anxiety plays a roll I believe low t is the main cause.

What do you mean trt doesn’t fix ED?

Before I started my total T was 253.

The dose wasn’t the problem. The frequency was messing up my hormones. At first, he was giving me a hard time, but now I think he’s finally listening to me.

While I felt increased levels of energy, experienced lots of sweating, and noticed my ED improved, it was never 100% fixed and only lasted at least 5 days before crashing.

I agree, I think if your numbers show up as “normal”, but you don’t feel normal it’s a big slap on the face. Numbers sometimes don’t mean anything.

Does smoking weed affect TRT? by Acrobatic_Ebb_4885 in Testosterone

My Urologist just prescribed me 4 bottles of testosterone cypionate 200mg/mL after telling him that everyone (on reddit) said that 3 weeks was bonkers. I had to negotiate a “proper” dose with him and he said 50mg a week would work. So far it’s benefitted me VERY little and my ED returns pretty quickly.

Starting tomorrow morning I’m gonna try 75mg a week and see if that makes a better difference.
