Some ED Issues.

So throughout my entire test only cycle I really have not had a huge jump in sex drive, if anything it has slightly diminished. Estrogen levels have been an issue with me for the entire time, they seem to have been in the mid 50's for the first 2/3 of my cycle. Since my last blood work I have doubled my AI to hopefully counteract the e2 issue. Since then I have also been on 600mg test-e/week.

To make a long story short, I just recently started hanging out with a new lady. I have been having some intermittent ED issues. It started off a few days ago when she wanted some morning plowing, and my cawk was just dead to the world. Same thing happened the next morning. Today, after a workout she had me come over for a lunch break smash. You guessed it, couldn't muster anything passed half mass. I have yet to have an issue during the evening hours, and like before bed. I am sure now I have crossed into the psychological aspect of it too, as I psych myself out. She is about 10 years older than me, and so being a young guy she is really having a hard time with me not being the young stallion she expects. I can only go so far as to blame it on my, "workout supplements."

Anyway, I have Sildenafil and Tadalafil, I just don't want to use those as a crutch and become dependent. I would really like to figure out the underlying issue if it is beyond just psychological. Blood pressure has not been bad lately, I do take a lot of stimulants though (lots of caffeine, and the occasional chew). As far as e2 levels, my next blood draw is Friday, and I have not exhibited any of the other low estrogen symptoms.

Any input welcome, and for reference I am 24 years old.

Take the dick meds until you can get bloods back and just adjust from there.

Probably a logical path of action. I can't afford to lose out on this cross-fit cougar due to limp dick.

High stimulants and lot of caffeine can definitely play a role.

Also psychological as you said.

Any trouble "by yourself".

Have you guys been hooking up just fine till this point? Are possibly just "over sexed" maybe a week off will restore the urge.

Get the bloods go from there.
Until then by God use the ED sups if you have to. You may not have to use much just to help out. No need to overdue it.

2 things I'll toss in the ring - I'll leave the estro and other issues for others with more experience than me. Sild and TADA are both good meds and don't form a dependence. They do their thing, then they leave the building. They even work well to boost you when you already "work well" so no harm in a backup plan plus they're a good morale booster - which leads up to the other thing above. That would be the "psychological" aspect. I never had an issue, ever, until she hits me up one day when I just wasn't into it. Junior just wasn't a player that day and that lead to a huge confidence killer whereas even on a good day when I can drive a spike through a truck frame, that one day still lingers in my mind. Don't get stuck in that trap! Your mind will fuck you over if you let it!



Special note: anyone wanting to pm me with more spam regarding this, you will get my first ignore! I've got it handled, thanks anyway!

I am going to cut caffeine out of my normal routine, well my pre-workout at least. I ended up with a 10lb bag of whey isolate that was a coffee flavor; turns out there is 100mg of caffeine per scoop. So I am really in a daily excess there.

As far as by myself, I can get going, but maintaining doesn't happen.

I will just hop on a daily dose of the Cialis. There is absolutely no reason attraction wise that this woman shouldn't have me going 24/7. As far as over-sexing, sure there has been a lot, but that has never been an issue before for me. For now, I will let the drugs do their job and get her/my confidence back.

Where do you live I would gladly fill in until you can get your problems worked out.

^Repped for the kind offer.

Whose gear are you on? Not saying or implying anything, just whose gear (pm this so as to not start drama).

I would normally say it could happen to anyone. Take the meds. You probably had one incident and now it's mental and your psyching yourself out, probably thinking more about it than the woman in front of you. But.... Your 24. You need your bloodwork done. You shouldnt have this for another 20 years.

Just take the meds till labwork comes back. I'm more than twice your age and you should be like a jackhammer at your age.

How many cycles have you done?

Wtf is wrong with you, why wouldn't you take the cialis anyways. She wants a good fuck, give her one.

Ya I know, I was really just hoping to see that it was a single occurrence. Now that it is definitely not, it will be the Cialis for me.

This has been my first cycle. My first set of labs came back with a mid 50's e^2 level and I had not had any ED issues. Second set of labs came back with a mid 50's e^2 level and I had not had any issue. I am 4 weeks into the third leg of my cycle, with a doubled AI dose to hopefully reduce the estrogen finally. Though my libido has not been stellar throughout the entire cycle there has never been an occurrence of ED prior to this. The test I am on is definitely legitimate as the lab results have been rolling in at adequate levels for this vendor.

Are you taking anything like an antidepressant? There are a lot of other factors that could be causing this.

What I am on:

Test-E 600mg/week
Exemestane 50mg/day
Optimen Multivitamin
Hawthorne Berry
Himalyan Liver Cure
Omega-3 Fish Oil
Taurine
Creatine
Nitraflex PWO (stopping this as of today).

Other than that, notta.

I wouldn't double down on the AI dose, stay with your program until the labs come back.

Our bodies are not cookie cutter one size for everyone. The hardest part for me was to balance my estro when I first started on gear. You can plan your workout, diet and dose of gear, but to find where your estro number is best to benefit you and feel good and are getting results is not the same for each individual. There is a sweet spot for everyone. For me, it is a little higher than normal.

We tend to automatically want a super low number when we start our first cycle, but that is not always best. With time you will learn yours too. Stay the cours, take the Ed meds now, get labs and go from there.

You probably psyched yourself out.

50mg of exe is too much, with no symptoms or labs.

Id start there. Knowing our bodies are different, I am on more test than you and I am taking 12.5mg a day. Labs every 3 months. Double red cell donor every 56+ days.

LowT

That seems like way too much Extremestane. Is it from a reputable source? I have had bloods done from Maxim and IMR and both were good.

Have you been sleeping enough? Could be a psych out issue now, I had that happen after getting out of a long term relationship. Felt odd banging different chicks but a few beers helped with that.

take the cialis, works like a boss, it will give you some confidence back and allow you knock the cougars boots off til you get the blood work in....because your probably right, the reason she is with a 24 year old is to get her freak on, not for the stimulating conversation. IMO. so take 30mg of cialis, bang her til she begs you to hurry up and finish, then spit on it keep going.

A good read.....

That is A LOT of exemstane. May well be the problem.

I am taking the IMR Exemestane, and the dose was recommended by Heavy. I had been on 25mg/day for both of my lab sets and my estrogen still came back in the mid 50's. Other than this occurrence I have experienced zero other low-estro sides; and I have been running this dose for approximately 5.5 weeks.

Obviously labs are the only way to know for sure, will be drawn Friday, and should have the results by Monday.

On a side note, I am really think maybe I was just psyching myself out after the first no-wood event. I was just driving around running some errands and got a half chub for no reason. Fucking weird. Either way, yes I will be taking some Cialis tonight and redeeming myself. Pics to come.

Well we are all playing with hormones here. Bound to be an issue now and again. You will be fine.

I have a hard time performing in the morning. I may have morning wood, but keeping it hard is an issue. Mid day I'm usually g2g, but sometimes need Sildenafil. In the evening, I'm the horniest lol.

Ya.. night time has been no issue. Today's failed nooner may have been a combination of things too.. Had a rough leg workout, had thrown up, blah blah blah. The lack of function a few days in a row just really started to weigh on me.

Exe dose is too high. Dose given is a guideline and you tweak from there. Take the least amount needed for the desired amount of results.

Please, anyone chime in. But I don't know anybody on that dose with only 600mg test with no symptoms. My 2 cents. Make sure to read the link.

Good luck.

I gave the article a read, and it seems to have some conflicting information compared to what I have heard before. Specifically in terms of the half life.

Aromasin (exemestane) - has a half life of about 23-27 hours or roughly one day, and a common dosage is 25mg EOD. A more suitable dosage would be 6.25 mg ED or 12.5mg EOD. Aromasin is a definitive Suicide Inhibitor, meaning it permanently and irreversibly binds to enzymes looking to convert androgens to aromatase. This sounds great on paper, like you would only need a few doses.... but the reality is that oru bodies are constantly upregulating the supply of available enzymes as others die. So, continued use througout cycle is needed. This is the one drug IMO that if you can find the sweet spot, you are in the money! 12.5mg EOD will be enough for most to keep a steady level going, or you can use 6.25 mg ED to keep levels steady because of the shorter half life (although either method will produce very similar levels in most). Aromasin also binds to SHBG, lowering the available amount to bind with free test, thus increasing free test levels (It's a much more complicated process than that and I'm sure I'll write in more detail about it soon).

I had also been provided some articles by other members during my last run of labs that indicated many people do in fact take 25mg/day on just a cruise, while bumping up to 50mg+/day on blast. It seems that the variance person to person, as well as the general mild effects of the drug itself can allow for dosing so high. As I have said, my labs this week will indicate where I am at and allow for further adjustment. The reason for such a high spike in my dosing was due to the fact that at the time of my results my test levels came back extremely low, and yet my e2 was still significantly out of range even at the dose I was on. I do appreciate the article, it had some good information regarding the generally physiological aspects of AI's.

Prostate.
any urination issues.

E2 issues do that to me. Too high and I can't get really hard, too low and it takes forever to nut. So before I spend the weekend off somewhere I'll take more Ai than usual and let the tren and cialis do the rest. Fuck like an amateur porn star. If you got dick meds give her what she wants bro

so pics of the plowee?

I hope your bottle of testosterone is really testosterone try a different brand sometimes bottles are missed labeled. ..amd take the dam cialis before this beautiful cougar bounces on you!

Which lab does the bloodwork. I've heard(talking out of my ass here) that with the female hormone panel from private labs if you do the regular essay and NOT the sensitive. Your E2 is can usually be 10-15 points high. So if your E2 is in the 50's you may actually be in the 40's.

It's possible you crashed. Just a thought.
