Background on me again:

48 years old
Low test levels but not low enough for insurance company to pay
Decided to get on some low levels of test just so I can at least have a libido
Wanted to play so I am doing 16 week cycle
Started off with 100mgs eod of Test Prop and NPP (libido off charts at this point)
Been training for 20 years. Did a few cycles in college
Currently 5’10” and 185 lbs but very lean. Usually stay around 200 lbs.
Got tired of sticking myself so I switched to 600 mgs of Test E at 600 mgs per week splitting into two doses
i dropped the NPP because I was just planning 8 weeks for that
Added 100 mgs of Proviron a day
I really did not use much AI’s for first 8 weeks because I read people overuse it and should be used if nip problems

I think the lack of AI’s screwed me. My libido is nil. Can’t get an erection.
My gains have been awesome. I’m 15 lbs. lighter and remarkably more strong and lean.

Bloodwork
Estradiol. 49. (High)
Test Total: 5256
Test Free: 1756

i started taking Aromasin at 12.5 eod

All other results came back normal.

i am dying over here unable to get erection with a very horny wife.

i am asking the pros out there for help. Tell me what I need to do.

also I did do the Test Prop for a week or two while starting Test E

I have been out of the game a long time. My day you just did Sustenon at 500 mgs a week and you were good. I think I kept Nolvadex on hand if nipple problems.

oh, I just added Cabergoline which I just started taking .5mgs twice a week.Would like thoughts on this as well.

Please Help!

Your estrogen is just barely over the high end of normal. were you at 49 without an AI? I HIGHLY doubt your libido issues are estrogen related at that level.

The Proviron should help a lot, it can do wanders for sex. Cialis or Viagra may help as well if it is a blood flow issue.

I added the Proviron for this very reason. I added Cabergoline after reading articles like this: https://www.steroid.com/Cabergoline.php

So my estrogen levels are high but the are not massively out of whack? Just stick with 12.5 of Aromasin eod?

It does not not make sense. What are your thoughts on my test levels? I have never been tested and don’t know how high is high but are those numbers in line with what I’m taking? Those numbers seem aweful high to me. Should I be thrilled with those numbers or should I back down a little?

Caber suppresses prolactin. You get a sexual benefit because your body releases a flood of prolactin after you ejaculate. This prevents you from being able to perform again until the prolactin wears off (elevated prolactin will prevent you being able to have an erection). Taking caber allows you to have sex again in a much shorter span of time.

The benefit to you is nothing. Your ed isn’t prolactin based.

Stop takibg caber.

Your bloodwork is fine. I’ve had 147 e2 and could still perform sexually. Although everyone is different I highly doubt that level is an issue.

The only thing I can think of is a lag time between when the prop injections ended and when the longer eater kicks in. But I doubt that is the case either because your test levels are so high they wouldn’t have time to drop.

Shit happens when you alter your hormones. Sometimes sex on cycle is frequent and amazing and sometimes it can be underwhelming and scarce.

Are you able to get it working solo? If you are then the problem isn’t physical.

Ok. Dropping Caber. Solo takes a while. I can do it. It just sometimes does not work and sometimes it does. When it does sometimes I’ll be doing it and it goes away. Probably because I don’t care. Alexa Ren could be nude in front of me and I’m not sure I would care. Actually I would and if you don’t know Alexa Ren it’s worth a Google.

And thanks for help.

No problem.

I’m unaware of other factors that may be the cause of your ed.

I hope other people have have some suggestions because I’m interested in learning more about how to maintain peek sexual desire whilst on cycle.

Dumb questions but you say you’re 15 pounds lighter... Over what time period? Are you on a huge caloric deficit and training hard? Could it be as simple as general fatigue/depletion?

yeah drop the caber and see how you feel in the next couple days.. that level of e2 shouldn’t be causing an issue..
has mental health been an issue? Are you depressed about anything or super stressed out?

I’d say the weight loss was over 5 weeks or so. I’m eating a lot but very clean. Major protein, quite a bit of good fat, very low carbs. For me I look pretty ripped. Yet I’m light years stronger than what I was. I’m not going any lower on weight. Just eat and lift. I only train 4 days a week and do zero cardio. I think I could gain 15 lbs. in a few weeks if I got after it. Everything seems to be getting better since adding Aromasin. I had one dose before the blood test. I am waking up with erections most mornings so maybe I’m turning a corner.
