Increase frequency of shots, I do E2D, but even 2x/week is already big progress.
What is that your blood show.
If DHT is at about top level or only slightly higher, you want to be on shots.
If DHT is low, use transdermals.
Keep track of your E2, when T and DHT are in check then E2 have the biggest influence on your penis.
T & DHT are easy to control, just stay on good steady, frequent routine.
E2 is a bi*tch to keep in check.

Not sure what you mean by blood show?? I did not think I was harping, but, I have been kinda obsessive lately..... No offense taken either way with me. Life can be ugly enough, so humor does it for me!!!! I am curious as I have suddenly found myself moving from a quick start into
AAS, to HRT/
TRT. A friend of mine was telling me that I was too compulsive and that I would be "hooked" on
testosterone forever, as I was sure not to be able to quit becase of the psycological good feelings associated. Even back then I quickly realized on about his third time warning me before I started, that the main reason I was doing it was to replace something my body was missing, and I was thinking it was
testosterone. I then told him it did not matter if I was "hooked" because I was not planning to go on feeling miserable like that anyway. 1.5-2 years later, I am finding out how right I was. I am an "all or nothing" type personality. The guys over in the steroid section all seemed to make fun of HRT guys. The more of them I have met, even in person, I am finding that they all are doing HRT, in that, the serious ones, the ones that really work out seriously, are in fact on cycle all the time. The never stop, they either ramp up for a while, and then continue on HRT in some form or another. Anyone in between is the real pretender!!! I have no problems with anyone who takes it to the max in order to do what they love, which is work out. The ones that can actually cycle down completely, even for a few months after what the call PCT (which is really HRT anyway), are pretending or in denial. They will be "on" forever eventually. They are just in denial of the fact that they are getting old and things aren't working the same. To be in acceptance of the fact that we are aging, and realize that we ARE living in "Roman Times". It best route.
Test replacement causes almost no shut down to a healthy male. I went steady for 9 months averaging 350 mg /wk, then discontinued, and was right back where I started in 5 weeks flat!!! I FELT LIKE SH!T before I started this. I cant tell enough people how lucky I feel to have stumbled into this. ENOUGH!!! I just cant shut up lately as I am into my 5th week of 200mg
TRT and feeling better then I have since I was 17!! The fact is, I almost missed the whole point in that, When I started my first cycle i felt great for 2-3 weeks. I was loading at 500, 600, 600, and 800 mg doses. On week two or three, I had the best sex I have ever had. Then it all disappeared as i had blown past the point of diminishing returns. But I have stuck with this stuff. Thanks to this website also having a
TRT section, it finally go into my head how important proper supplementation is. Now, I am not saying that I wont ever ramp it up again for a short period in order to gain some muscle, but I have a feeling that after another year or two I will realize that defeats the whole purpose. Life is about feeling good. Muscles are
temporary and for people that can afford the time and have the desire, for whatever reason. I have a lot to learn. Now for the reason I responded.
Question, I have seen people stating that the estrogen is the problem (as you have again), and that the
test and
DHT are pretty controllable. Can You elaborate?? I did notice on my first 8-9 month venture into testosterone that as time progressed I seemed to get more side effects regardless of the dose.?!!?!? Meaning by the 4th month I had a slight nipple sensativity. It was not related to the dose as I would jockey up and down. Sometimes I would just do 250mg for acouple of weeks straight. Then I might even wait 10 days and pin 5,6, or 700mgs. Then maybe 150 in 7-10 more days. I was on so long that I seemed to loose interest in the "juice" side of it, and just knew that I needed it based on what my body was telling me. I find that interesting in retrospect. THe point is as time progressed, nipple sensativity was beginning to be an issue. Nothing ever pressing. Just sensative. I remember telling my wife "that now I knew what she mean about her breasts being sore". Because that time of the month, I could not be so playful with her, as she would complain. Of course, I never listened and continued to "grab those titties", and she got angrier. Apologies were in order. Once mine really stung like a bitch!!! so to speak. But never any swelling or growth apparent. I did not take any crude pharms like nolva, nor did I supplement
Clomid. It just never got out of control. So I am assuming that even at 200mg/week steady, i will eventually end up with this issue again. I am planning to supplement zinc this time as I have learned it may help stop aromatization. So you thoughts and further elaboration on the estrogen conversion in relation to my thoughts here would be greatly appreciated..!!!
Sorry so long...
