Impotent on cycle, erections come back off

[engival]

Would you elaborate more? Such as what are you taking with testosterone and dosages?

I noticed that I'm hard to balance out as well. I have hypogonadism so I need to be on hormone replacement therapy to function properly. But here's the thing. If I stop everything for a few weeks and then start a therapeutic dose I start to get erections in about a week but then after approximately two weeks they seem to go away.

I've had my estradiol levels checked and they were in normal ranges. I also had prolactin and leutinizing hormone levels checked and my doctor said they were in normal ranges.

I have noticed this when I cycled back in my twenties with heavier gear and to this day while on hormone replacement therapy. I'm nearly fifty years old now.

I do remember using clomid to come off a cycle years ago and had spontaneous erections which made me feel like I was sixteen again. I recently bought some more clomid to see if this happens again. But the thing is I was coming off a cycle back then. I'm currently on TRT and don't plan on ever coming off. So I guess I'm going to experiment to see if anything helps. I'm also going to be looking for some HCG, too, to see if that helps.

Clomid monotheapry gave me better erections than trt. Trt is always hit or miss and i often switch between clomid and trt

Tbh I think it’s a combination of fluctuating levels and the natty hormones from the hCG. You may also like me feel better when you have some natural T levels, and when you trt without hCG you’ll natty T for the first couple weeks.

When I was on trt at first I did 500iu 3x/wk as it had been a year into trt when I started so I thought I’d need more to get a response from my balls. Eventually I was doing like 300-350iu 3x/wk MWF. I always administered my hCG IM, way better than SC ime. When I went off trt I was doing 1000 iu 3x/wk (sometimes higher) for sometime. That was pct tho. The typical dose most on these forums do is 250iu 2x/wk but honestly I think it’s a bit low. When I was on trt I was tight on $ otherwise I’d probably have stayed on 500iu 3x/wk.

All the issues I had on trt, low libido/sensitivity, weak boners etc improved quickly with hCG. If you’re here in the US most drs won’t rx hCG. You’d have to go to one of those trt/men’s clinics if you want to be guaranteed an hCG rx. But a lot of sources here carry hCG.

I thought they aren't making hCG in the United States anymore? They are moving to kisspeptin? I have never done hCG IM I may have to start I have been using 500iu 3x week subq with my TRT dose of 100mg/wk and I'm sitting at 1100ng/dL TT and like 30pg/mL E2 with some ED issues as well. I'm wondering if the higher E2 is causing it. That's not even that high IMO.

Well I’ve always “prescribed” my own hCG overseas, way too expensive here anyway, but I haven’t heard of hCG being discontinued here? I didn’t even know they had medical kisspeptin available. Either way I can’t imagine it replacing hCG completely, what about those that have pituitary issues, don’t think kisspeptin would help them. You’d need something like hCG in that case.

I mention IM cause it felt like it worked better. When I first started hCG I didn’t feel anything but after my first IM shot I noticed a big difference within 12-24 hrs.

I guess it won't be completely discontinued. I'm not in America so it's not a concern for me. Here is a link with some information:

As far as kisspeptin is concerned. I think many TRT clinics are starting to manufacture that peptide due to not being able to compound the hCG without a biological licence.

I will have to try my hCG IM to see if I notice any differences. I wonder why it helped your ED. It seems to increase E2 because it stimulates aromitization in your leydig cells.

That sounds like it would only apply to compound pharmacies, not your typical brands like pregnyl or whatever from normal pharmacies. I’d think there’d be more talk of that on a forum like excel male where they all use the trt clinic associated with the forum which uses its own compound pharmacy.

Not sure why IM worked so much better for me. My guess is because IM works a bit faster, and there might be more fluctuations like there are when you’re natural. When I say ED I don’t mean like hardcore, it worked, but it wouldn’t get fully hard, and after sex even with viagra or cialis I’d still have to wait at least an hour usually a couple. When before I’d get boners that wouldn’t go away without viagra/cialis. Anyway IM hCG made a big difference to return to normal down there

PHARM clomid 50mg per day helped alot with libido and erections. I've never actually used HCG but that is my next go to once I finish my next cycle.

The issue is that the FDA won’t let compounding pharmacies make HCG anymore. So it’s available but the price is now astronomical. My TRT doc is prescribing gonadorhelin which can’t hold a candle to it. Balls shrink too.

Is there not kisspeptin down there now?
