Thread: Erection while on Trt

Hi
Im 52 and been on TRT for 18 months. It is likely your high E.

Ive tried anastrozole and Letrozole for AI. I have stuck with Letrozole and use a liquid so i can accurately measure small doses.

After 250 mg a week T, i need AI definitely; i also use HCG which seems to help with libido (but only if your E is ok)
I react to AI doses within 24 hours, might take half a week if i let E get too high, to come good though.

If I'm consistent i dose letrozole between .15 and .25 mg's, you can take your E very low with letrozole, so you need small accurate doses. (every 3 to 7 days depending on how i am dosing T)

Log everything and write notes on how you are going, after a while you see comments and dose against blood tests. That way you learn about yourself.

Like others have mentioned, it is most likely estrogen imbalance.
FInding the balance it tricky; sometimes with TRT your body will find it on its own over time.
But other times it needs help - and things like Arimidex or Letro can help.
Letro, which is what I use on cycle when my test is very, very, very high, is incredibly strong and helpful.
I like it because it takes estrogen way down (be careful about going too far down) with only one small (.25) dose every 5 days. But it’s harsh and takes some experimenting. First time I tried it I did 1mg and for the next three days my joints hurt and I was so tired I couldn’t move.
Regarding, specifically, erections: usually (at least for me) morning wood is a good indicator that I’m spot-on with my levels. I don’t have to have rock hard boners all day (on cycle that’s nice) when I’m running my TRT, but pretty solid erections on demand should be do-able on TRT with estrogen in check.

Take notes about when you dose and how you feel. Don’t try to guess. You’ll thank yourself in the end. And note physical and mental feelings - both are very much affected by test and estrogen imbalances.

At 50 300mg a wk is a cycle. Even at a younger age. Things like elevated prolactin, estrogen etc could effect erection.

Two options, drop down to 50-60mg 2x a wk. That’s a better dose for you. Then you most likely wouldn’t need an AI.

But if you need to stay on 300mg, get a new doc as he has not clue what he’s doing. Or buy and AI like Arimidex from a sponsor.

It took me 5 years looking for a Dr. Who would treat low T. When no one else would.
I'll blast on this dose for 5 weeks then lower it. Any idea on a dosage for arimidex? Thanks.

You would have to dose and then lab to see where you at and then titrate up or down from there. But I would start with .5mg the days you pin. Please tell me you don’t pin 300mg in 1 day each wk?

From there, if you regulate e2, then great. If not you might even need 1mg 2x a wk. There are some great sponsors with adex. Go check them out.

I split my dose of 300 in half twice a week.
How long after taking arimidex can I get labs done for an accurate assessment of estradiol?
Thanks

IMO, I would give it a few wks. For an accurate assessment say 4ish wks to be safe.

I think aromasin is a better choice at 12.5 mg EOD to start then E3D when issues subside.

BPP

Proviron should help you
