Erection issue whilst on TRT

[mrplunkey]

Im 40 years young, 95 KG pretty active and I take sutanon 100 every week.
Sustanon 100 manufactured by Organon, breakdown below:
20mg testosterone propionate (Ph.Eur.)
40mg testosterone phenylpropionate (BP)
40mg testosterone isocaproate (BP)
(equivalent to 74mg of testosterone)
Blood work done 3 months ago showing test level at 9.1nmol/L
Thats all the info doc gave me, you have to appreciate the UK docs are a bit behind you guys in the USA.
Initially taken as low Libido, tiredness etc. The first month on TRT my libido was better than it has ever been, but seems to have started to decline.
What do you mean by the root of the problem??

You've got some serious expertise helping you on this thread, and they'll have more experience than I do.

Having said that, what you wrote (the part I bolded) makes me think its estrogen build-up. Noticed any bloat or fullness feelings, especially in your abdomen?

I do feel as though my stomach is bloated and I do feel more FULL on the same amount of food that I regularly take in.
I will wiat for further guidance and I thank you for your guidance mrplunkey

Try injecting delts and quads for better absorption.

I am injectging into my glutes, because the pain isnt as bad as when I inject in quads. Then again I didnt think injection site would have made a difference as long as it is IM?

Did your doctor prescribe any anti-estrogens for you? You have an enzyme in your body that will convert a portion of your testosterone over into estrogen. When guys cycle on testosterone, they frequently have to take an anti-estrogen (pill or liquid) that inhibits that enzyme. Their testosterone levels build-up over time and without an anti-estrogen, an increasing portion converts to estrogen. They'll get bloated and pie-faced -- and yes, sometimes lose libido and/or erections.

Doctors currently prescribe 0.5 mg every other day of Arimidex (anastrazole) often as an anti-estrogen, but there are several choices beyond that available. Look at a few of this boards sponsors and read-up on their products. And also, always go a little easy on anti-estrogens -- you're on such a light testosterone suppliment that you won't need much of it at all.

Also... bounce all this off your doctor!

Well your ass tends to have more fatty pockets and may slow absorption. Ever wonder why when your off you get one of those awesome workouts? Juice being released thats been just sitting there. Delts are a sure bet for steady release. Pure muscle.

Took a 25mg tab of Proviron last night, this morning woke up with wood which hasnt happened for a week or so, but then again I did have a sust100 jab on Tuesday night,but I generally feel better. May be too quick but will carry on with proviron for a week to see how I get on.

Good luck! Sounds promising.

prob your test is too low....By the way, i'm not a fan of sustanon and I think it sucks for TRT unless you inject 2x a week. Cyp or enth is better and if you want a fast release agent use propionate with it. That's what I use now, 100mg cyp and 100mg prop once a week. Sex is great and no estrogen problems or anything either.

How long do your do 200 mg/week? Are these cycles, or do you take that dose indefinitely?
