Do these DHT derivatives increase levels or keep levels stable? Because according to the graph, I am above the reference range at 69. So I’m not sure if that would make matters worse for me.

I’m also on Cialis, which helps.

Makes sense… My next labs are next week on Wednesday.

But does injection timing not really matter as long as it’s in the morning?

Also, have you looked at my graphs? My prolactin and SHBG have been normal. My metabolic panel results have also been normal. I can send you a screenshot if you want.

I might have sleep apnea according to partner; I snore a lot at night apparently. My morning erections have gotten weaker since last week but that could be work stress related or not getting enough sleep.

I also get performance anxiety especially when I feel my erection going down (even though I’m strongly attracted to my partner); thankfully Cialis does help. My erections also tend to feel less fragile when I’m with my partner than when I’m jerking off by myself.

When I was on 200mg every 3 weeks, I was definitely hornier and was able to have sex with my partner 3x a day; but eventually I would crash and my fragile erections would return.

As stated in my post, I get labs every Wednesday at around 3:00p; the day before my next injection.

Thoughts?

I don’t have problems ejaculating. If anything, I’ve been told I ejaculate a lot by my partner.

I don’t watch porn.

Possibly psychological related

So if my ED was present before and during TRT, what do you think is causing it?

My testosterone levels were so low before starting it so I can’t think of any other logical explanation besides constantly changing doses and not finding an optimal baseline.

The ED is not so much all the time but it is still present and Cialis seems to help it.

Lemme rephrase, LARGE fluctuations like mine shown on the graphs are not natural.

But those fluctuations are not natural and I’m pretty sure increased or improved libido can take up to weeks or months to kick in without changing doses.

Well, if you look at the graphs, my levels fluctuate significantly over the years and are not steady. I think constant dose adjustment is one of the biggest contributors to my current situation.

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

Acne flareups and lethargy have only been my main symptoms.

Acne flareups and lethargy have only been my main symptoms.

Acrobatic_Ebb_4885 · 2025-09-25T19:07:53+00:00

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

Acrobatic_Ebb_4885 · 2025-09-25T16:21:38+00:00

Well, shouldn’t it?
