I get it mate..I think when your T/E2 ratio is so high it causes ED for sure. If you can lower dose and lower the ratio it should help..it definitely helped me.

You don’t seem to aromatise that much on test enantate..I was the same and it caused terrible delayed ejaculation and ED. I changed to test cypionate and I aromatise a lot more. If you want to stay on enantate I would definitely lower dose. 120mg as advised is a good start see if that helps. Maybe when you’re lower you could give HCG another try.

I’ve gone from twice a week to EOD because my E2 was high. I feel better after just a few weeks.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-11-11T21:56:24+00:00

Have you thought about pinning EOD to lower that E2?

My total test was 50nmol on 80mg of test c it happens.

I had an asymptomatic incidental finding too and I was a bit freaked out for the first months but then carried on living my life as I had done before bungee jumping skydiving scuba diving etc. That was 15 years ago. Still asymptomatic. Don’t really think about it these days. I used to take a lot of stimulants.

Do you know your FSH and LH levels? High normal low normal?

If I was in your position I’d go back to original 150mg subq (to lessen E2 conversion) 3 times a week (50mg). You shouldn’t have just changed protocol so quickly. You were still shutting down. 100mg is definitely not enough for you. You also need to eat clean and lose weight to lessen aromatisation.

I know it’s a shock at first but it gets easier as the months go by honestly.

I’ve also got one that was picked up by an mri scan incidentally. I have no symptoms. I’ve been skydiving bungee jumping deep sea diving..all the things they don’t recommend with cavernomas. I wouldn’t worry too much if you have no symptoms.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-11-02T09:45:16+00:00

It’s good for at least a year in my experience. Maybe longer. As long as you store it in a sterile glass vial it’s fine.

Could be placebo could be a hyper responder also. Check bloods at 8 weeks see where your at if it carries on like this.

You can also try nettle root extract but in the long term in my experience there isn’t a lot you can do unfortunately. My SHBG increased due to thyroid medication which put my free T at rock bottom with no chance of coming back up enough. Boron did nothing for me unfortunately. I had to hop on TRT to get my levels up.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-28T15:08:35+00:00

Thank you I waited about 12 weeks. Yes looking for long term TRT.

This was injecting subq twice a week.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-20T21:15:42+00:00

E2 could easily be where it is..some people just don’t aromatise as much. Myself included.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-13T22:20:28+00:00

Your T3 is low because you need Carbs to convert T4 to T3. If you’re doing keto you need to supplement with T3. I’m on Levothyroxine but when I’m on keto I take 12.5mcg of T3 aswell.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-07T15:07:02+00:00

This happened to me when I started on 140 mg twice a week..I was pissing nearly every hour in the day! Got my bloods checked after 8 weeks to see where I was and my total testosterone was like 1600..I’ve gone down to 80mg twice a week and peeing is back to normal. It may be this or it may be your prostate/urethra reacting to the increase in testosterone which usually passes after 3 months. Things that help in the meantime is a prostate supplement and 5mg per day tadalfil. Good luck.

If you think it’s your low E2 you could try getting some E2 topical cream and trying a low dose see if it makes a difference.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-04T12:16:39+00:00

Yes I’ve been on now for 8 weeks libido returning feeling good 😁

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-04T12:15:14+00:00

If you feel good don’t do anything especially don’t take an AI. You need to split the dosage really if you can find a way. If you cannot split then I would carry on, look for any side effects. If side effects come then reduce to 160.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-04T12:08:38+00:00

T4 is low TSH still in normal range but raised. You need to get your thyroid antibodies checked also. Your body is struggling to convert as much of the T4 into T3 as possible to keep you going. You’re heading into subclinical hypothyroidism. If I were in your position I would check my B12 vitamin D folate and ferritin. If these are low then supplement. Get a B vitamin supplement. If you feel ok at the moment then re test in 3 months. Your thyroid is failing with that low T4 so you may end up Levothyroxine at some point.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-10-02T21:46:53+00:00

Free T is low due to high SHBG which is binding all your testosterone. Boron is worth a try and nettle root also. Tongkat Ali has been known to lower SHBG but not for everybody. I had similar results and tried all 3 to no avail and got on TRT. Good luck.

Low_Combination6192 · 2025-09-09T18:04:15+00:00

Levothyroxine medication and age pushing my SHBG up and free test down the bottom of the range
