Starting in December 2025 I began a 160mg testosterone injection weekly protocol that has HCG 250mg monday wednesday friday however the clinic had closed for approximately two weeks. I ended up taking a test booster called EVL Test that has the following
Vitamin D3- 50 Mcg
Vitamin B6- 11mg
Magnesium 160 mg
Zinc 30mg
Daspartic acid- 3120mg
Tribulus terrestris extract - 750 mg
Fenugreek extract- 500mg
DIM- 250mg
8 hours later on June 1st 2026 I took .25 Anastrazole believing the DAA would rise my e2 levels in the past I was taking Damiana. I am met with Genital numbness (glans) and the shaft can only feel temp. Ejaculate still exists to some degree but am completely reliant on cialis for manual activity. I have not attempted normal intercourse yet but I can say with certainty thought based erections are gone 100%
It’s worth noting this was onset within hours
I also get 4 am wakeups I am assuming from cortisol along with some light gut issues that I can hear thruout the day.
My blood levels never crashed below 27
And would this incident involve some sort of genetic predisposition in order to occur?
