I’ve been on TRT the last 13 months and for the first few months I feel like it helped, I had a very high sex drive and sex felt about 80% which I could deal with. The last 6 months or so I’m at about 50% and orgasms are weak.
Thats very interesting and a good point to start from! Often times it is necessary to take further adaptions to a TRT regimen in the course of the therapy. E.g. maybe your estrogen levels block further symptom relief. Or maybe you just need a higher dose...
May you write something about:
- your application form
- exact medication (+hcq, anastrozol etc.?)
- dose (history)
- your labor values then and now? ((free)T, SHBG, E2, LH, FSH, Prolactin, TSH)
- exact symptom history
I‘m not great with all this but I’ll answer as best I can
I take it by injection - 0.3ml sustanon, 0.1 hcg twice weekly, anastrazole 1mg per week (in 0.25mg doses)
These were my bloods the last time (September 2019)
Oestradiol - 96 pmnol
Testosterone - 24 nmol
Free Testosterone - 0.59 nmol
SHBG - 19.3 nmol
LH - < 0.3
Prolactin - 197 mU/L
The first week I started TRT I didn’t know what I was doing as I order it online and do it myself, I live in England and my testosterone was in the low normal range (10.2) I accidentally injected the whole 1ml as I didn’t know what I was doing the first time, after that I did 0.4 per week. At first I was having my bloods taken regularly and had high estrogen so lowered my dose to 0.35 then now I’m at 0.3. The above combination of sus, anastrazole and hcg keeps my test highish and estrogen low. Because of this I’ve realised it’s useless as I’m in the perfect range and PSSD symptoms are as bad as ever. I feel like it was placebo why I had the huge boost at first. I was so excited when I first started TRT after watching YouTube videos of people saying how horny it made them and saw one saying his dick sensation was now amazing. If only it was as easy as taking testosterone to fix it
would do anything to be how I was before!
FYI my symptoms are -
Hardly any sensation when touched by partner but sex feels ok
Masturbation is rubbish, barely feel anything unless major excited by the porn I watch (hard to find videos that mega excite me anymore, used to be easy before this shite)
Orgasm is 50% (At a guess)
Premature ejaculation (even though sensation is shit)
