E2 level at 73

[Atillah67]

Unless the E2

So your E2 isn’t 73...it’s 47. Which is barely high if I remember the reference range...

So the NuMale clinic NP was lying. Not surprising. I never saw the actual lab results they took, he just wrote them down. I felt like I was being seen by the medical equivalent of Saul Goodman. I was right.
I never got any further because they demanded I pay for a years worth of meds, that they couldnt just work to lower my estrogen over a few months.

So, now there`s no explanation at all.

 

[Atillah67]

change meds, you sound fucking nuts.

The reality of things was the girl was probably already talking to someone else before she left.

Not trying to sound harsh here, just being real

I know I sound nuts on this thing, but I`m not a nuts guy in actual life. I`m very mild-mannered. My friend was shocked to learn I take lithium for example. But this discussion does sound nuts I agree. Its just this has been my experience.

Weak to strong erections when waking up, depending on how much T is in my system, but It never gets hard enough for sex, or if it does, it goes soft within 4 minutes. Struggle has been on-going since 27, before T.

Finally got some bloods back. T level at 1036 with E2 levels at 73.
NP stated he wished to lower these e2 levels while keeping me ON 250
mg of T. I will do whatever is required to get a functional sex life back, including
losing gains. Could not care less at this point.

However, I sadly could only be seen by a scammy NuMale clinic, that then wanted me to
buy medications for a year and sign an annual contract. Can't do that.
I will see another doctor ASAP, but considering I've been suffering from ED while going
back on a TRT dosage after system didn't re-set for 6 months on its own, it is generally safe to assume I need some Aromasin ASAP. I will get bloods taken in another two weeks. Does anyone recommend Aromasin over Arimidex?

And yes, I am aware of how profoundly stupid all of this sounds. I managed to commit all of the errors of cycling and when I got deep into the pitfalls, I just dug deeper and deeper. The mind can play amazing tricks on us. Consider me a fool, safe to say. I am just trying to recover what I have lost (poor grades, girlfriend I loved left me, body dysmorphia, exacerbation of depression 10-fold).

Are you symptomatic??? Puffy/sore nipps ?? Lack of energy?? I wouldn’t worry to much about lithium it is basically super condensed salt pill. Probably would help to take a potassium supplement. If you could answer those question that would help

The explanation is likely as I stated before; your mental state. Destress. Stop worrying about ED. Don’t make sex a priority. It’ll come back.

If you get morning wood your hormones and your dick are fine.

It’s totally in your head. You got performance anxiety. Knowing that you “have to perform” to save this relationship is a ton of stress. You need to simply stop thinking about it. Stop putting so much importance on it. And just let things happen. This is like having a gun to your head.

There will be other girls. But nothing is worth the stress and anxiety you’re putting on yourself. Get out of your own way!

 

[Mac11wildcat]

These threads pop up frequently man. You’re not alone. Time and time again guys come back a few weeks later and admit the stress and their own expectations caused the issue. You’ll be fine.

@Mac11wildcat gave me some great advice when I was inquiring about my e2. Now I wasn’t ever dealing with Ed problems and have never had a problem getting it up, but my e2 was 79 just a tad higher than yours. But my test was 2986ng/dL. If you aren’t symptomatic, and you have morning wood, then it really depends on how you feel other wise. Some guys like to have there’s e2 run on the higher end of the range some guys like the low end. I was running 1mg e3d of arimidex cause I only had 1mg caps at the time. So I got some aromasin changed my protocol to 12.5mg of aromasin eod and maybe e2 went to 28. I felt much better and tbh safer. Now I was running a hell of a lot more test then you are, best thing to do is probably get some arimidex and start with .25mg eod because the half life is 48hrs and get bloods done again. I do know quite a few guys that won’t even fuck with an AI at the dose of test. But everyone is different . Just know you don’t need much. But in order to make sure it does it’s job it’s best to try and dose adex eod imo

It's 100% your medication. I know ppl on shit like lexapro and even I began having issues after xanax for awhile. Same thing, quality of erectile function. I dropped that shit and literally 2 days later was waking up in the middle of the night pitching a tent.

It's not the test, your e2 isn't in range but not crazy enough for this to happen I don't think. Dude, get on cialis daily at 5-10mg, it's not only healthy but it can help

And what if I get soft or partial morning wood but rock hard from then on..what does that mean dad?

Its great idea. Illl get to my doc about it tomorrow. I have dropped the lithium. Its been 6 days. The worst is over. I am still on Welbutrin, which has allowed me to be off lithium and not really feel it after day 3. Doc wants me on lamictal but has been out of the office. Lamictal causes this shit too, but not as solidly as the lithium.

But I am also on temazapam because I have always had sleep issues. It is a mild benzo. It could be making things worse as well. I was on trazadone which would give me raging boners at 4 but nothing worthwhile. But I would have to stand up to make it go away or just jack off with a boner like a 15 year old. Never was that way when trying to have sex while on it.

Unfortunately, Im UBER sensitive. When I first used this, it was like I was finally formed as a man. I happened to be in South America at the time, living there, and I had more sex in 6 months than I had in 5 years. I used viagra casually and there wasnt an ED problem until 2.5-3months into using a trt dosage. Nothing mental happened there. But my t level was probably higher than now and my e2 level with it. I started to get bumps under my nipples and nolvadex took care of that. But nothing recaptured the initial few months.

Benzos do it too. Sounds like a combination of things could be causing it. Not sure abt the welbuterin, i use it myself at 150/day and no issues

 

[TX_Hempknight]

Sounds like your medication to me as well.

On another note, How has your blood pressure and breathing been lately?

120/75

which has been my typical BP even when I was thinner and running alot. My family just runs a little high. I am on no medication anymore and since ive dropped to 220 recently, my neck is smaller and I dont wake up in the middle of the night gapsing for breath. So that seems to not be an issue....

Welbutrin is one of the few psyche meds that is not known to hurt libido but in some reported cases, actually helps its. This is why I chose it over the others. It has at least helped me functional reasonably well while going off of lithium.

What sleep medication does not cause ED? Benzos can cause it, and Trazadone gave me crazy priapism. Ill start using melatonin again.

I told my doc i wanted off xanax and he scripted a non-benzo drug to relax me and take edge off, its called Clondine and its actually a BP med, but it doubles as an anti-anxiety type drug. It's worked quite well and it really doesn't start messing with BP if you just take 1 or 2 in the evening

and its not one of those BP meds that affects ED? Honestly, keeping t levels around 1200 is the best anti-depressant. Ive just been told since 19 I required a mood stabilizer, and most times going off have been pretty disasterous. I am a normal person until Im not. Welbutrin has really helped me kick the reliance of lithium.

I had a t level of 300 at 26. I played all the sports in high school, worked out, was athletic looking etc. Docs ran tons of blood tests and found nothing in my body was working incorrectly. I just suddenly naturally had low T at 26, which no US doctor was willing to treat.
When I finally took t, it was like the best psychiatric drug in the world. Focus, attention, drive, self-esteem, energy and yes- sex drive and ability to get and maintain erection- all came back at 30. All of those things I had been working on by reading, by exercises, by BS GNC supplements, by shifting my thoughts and by taking psychiatric drugs that only addressed the problems so so- all of a sudden all those gaps were filled. But it was temporary. Eventually, ED came back and with it, everything else.
