I take a similar dose of my prescription cyp every day. About 10mg. For whatever reason dhea worked out better than pregnenolone for me. Or maybe lower the dose of pregnenolone since your estrogen is a bit high. I don't know if that will help but some guys seem to need their estrogen to be in a certain spot.
How long have you been on this regimen? It took a while for my levels to reach homeostasis. Like months.
 
Have you talked to a doctor about it? Could it possibly be something bigger or something that could lead to something worse? ANy other medications?

Quit taking pregnenolone. See what that does for you! (If possible) DHEA levels may correlate with many age-related phenomena or deterioration in various physiological functions. Particularly, aging; neurological functions including decreased well-being, cognition, and memory; increased depression; aggressiveness; and dementia have involved changes in body composition, decreased bone mineral density, obesity, diabetes, increased cardiovascular morbidity, erectile dysfunction
 
To me even though you've tried ai previously your estrogen is above the high end, albeit not by much but it is.

Have you had bloods done where your e is well within normal and still had the issue while taking ai?

Some guys need that estrogen lower to be getting a sex drive.

Your progesterone is also 1 point away from being high. That also causes erectile issues with some guys. That and prolactin are related to you being able to get a boner after busting a nut because they raise after orgasm.

If it were me the female hormones would be my first focus as they're actually showing you something in your bloods. You could look at lowering them and see what happens.

Also some guys get a jump in sex drive and erections from Proviron.
 
9mg a day of prop? That 63 mg a week. TT of 733? Not a bad number but thats a pretty low dose. Try 120mg a week. 17mg a day. That’s about the equivalent to 150mg a week cyp, standard starting point for most trt protocols. Should knock TT to 1000 ish. Id be willing to bet that shakes things up.
 
Does that do anything for ya?

Seriously just throwing it out there as a means of exploring other possibilities for your issue.

It might not be medical, never know.

What a dick


Oh wait, that sounded gay. I better fix it.

“No homo”

It’s all good now.
 
What kind of quack would prescribe daily intramuscular injections? Is testosterone propionate even commercially available outside of being a component of Sustanon?

There are benefits to daily low dose injections of testosterone for trt purposes, the first being more stable levels and less fluctuations which ideally helps regulate secondary and tertiary markers like estrogen, etc. Another is that it is easy to make adjustments to dosage if needed.

You don't have to do it with TP, it can be done by taking a low dose of TE/TC ed as well, but if the goal is to simulate the closest to a natural test production you can, low dose daily shots is the way to go.

15-20mg ed TP is what I am currently cruising on, but you can definitely do something like 10mg TE ed.
