High test, low sex drive

[Oxygen]

hi all,

this was my second cycle of test e for 11 weeks, 8 weeks 500mg & last 3 weeks 250mg, I used adex (0.25mg eod) throughout the cycle, also started using hcg in the last 3 weeks of cycle (500 iu x 2/wk) & continued using it 12 days after last injection (because I heard test e has about 12 days half life).

pct was:
w1: nolva 40mg + aromasin 18.75mg
w2:nolva 40mg + aromasin 12.5mg
w3:nolva 20mg + aromasin 12.5mg
w4: nolva 10mg + aromasin 6.25mg

then I dropped everything & just used I FORCE reversitol as recommended, I kept most of my gains but my sex drive is the culprit, it was great while on hcg but it faded during pct leaving me with low interest in sex after pct.... 2 weeks after pct , the lab tests are:

total t: 33.5 ng/dl range (7 - 29.5)
E2: 98 range (0-257)
LH: 8.5 range (0.5 -12)

now what? I have used finesteride during pct because my hairline has really thinned out, but I noticed that my morning woods have disappeared so I stopped it, currently my mood is great & workout is fine, the only symptom is low sex drive.... is there anything I can do ? please help

it just takes time to feel normal again-if your only 2 weeks done with PCT-i would say you will feel 100% every which way in a month-keep diet up so you dont lose your gains.

i think the range for your 257# is 200-800. you may still be a lil lowere than you normally are.

did you get tests done before you started?

dude its only been 2 weeks. There is a reason you go off for 3-4 months as it takes a while for your system to reset. Wait it out my sex drive is usually down for a month after PCT.....also it seems down compared to when you are on and its through the roof. Give it a month.

If it stays down you can down another HCG and clomid cycle. Hcg at 500-1000ius eod and clomid daily dor 21 days, as thats what my doc thinks is the cure. I however would wait another 2-4 weeks.

thanks for your replies my friends in iron

I believe you are all right about the waiting game, so am gonna give it more time say 1 month & see how it goes. The thing is that my gf is being too horny & I need to manage her needs which puts me under stress lol

I have done many tests for my hormonal profile before, I know where am standing right now & my total test is good compared to before but I have to re-test later to further verify.....

your are really helping me guys, thanks thanks thanks

Oxygen, get Viagra or Cialis for the post cycle period......works like a charm and no impact on recovery

[dennis]

It might take several months bro...use cialias viagra tequila whatever it takes to satisfy the little lady.This is why anabolics can be so dangerous..imagine being shut down for life....

[Oxygen]

I got myself some cialis and it did the job,, I mean I almost lost my gf because she started thinking that I lost interest in her during pct & I didn't know how to explain it to her especially that she had no idea about my cycle.... but with your help am surviving this..

dennis;
I hardly imagine how someone could be shutdown for life!! did you suffer from steroids ?? I have been on 2 test only cycles,, sorry am starting to believe steroids aren't worth the risks....potential hairloss, high chance for loss of libido, potential permanent shutdown, depression & post cycle blues, difficulty in keeping gains..etc

right now, 2 months passed since my cycle & waiting....thanks again for your invaluable input

[dennis]

You definately have to weight the risks and sides when using anabolics.I am 45 years old and been using steroids for roughly 15 years..off and on 12 weeks cycles..average 1.5 cycles per year.The last two recovery periods for me have been very rough.I am considering trt for life or just quiting anabolics for good.My shoulders are torn to hell,the lower back hurts,knees are going etc.....If you start at an early age say early twenties or late teens using steroids and use for many years you will be in for a long road later in life.I think you should gain natural untill early 30's and then run one responsible well planned cycle and pct per year keeping up with blood work and making sure each cycle recovery is smooth.When the recovery's get bumpy it's time to reconsider usage?!

dennis;

I admire your experience with roids & really wish you full recovery because I know how great it feels to be normal again, you make solid point of view regarding steroids use & timing, a well planned master plan is a must if someone is to benefit, I started my 1st cycle at 28, I cannot deny the gains I have made & how joyful life was on cycle, unfortunately it all faded post cycle, I see many many teenagers accessing steroids & hgh nowadays, with zero background on their impact.

UPDATE: still using I FORCE reversitol, am noticing a few morning woods every now & then, hope this goes on. workout is good, mood is also good. am experiencing some acne break out on face, brow, shoulders, chest, does any know why ?,,, I will re-test (TT, E2, LH) in 2 weeks.
