Deca Erectile Dysfunction Question (Update)

Hello, So I was on a cycle of 500 mg sustanon 250 with 250 boldenone for 9 weeks , I changed my trainer and told him the results were not that great and he decided to raise the doses and add deca to my cycle for 8 more weeks, also I told him I want to change from sustanon 250 to enanthate 250 and he said that was fine. his new cycle is 625 test, 500 deca , 625 bold

so week 10 where the cycle was changed:
Saturday: 1 mg test sustanon 250 , 1mg boldenone 250
Monday : 0.5 deca 250 ( it was supposed to be on Saturday but i received deca this day)
Tuesday: 1 mg test enanthate 250 ( where I changed from sustanon to enanthate ) , 1mg boldenone 250, 1 mg deca 250
Friday: 1 mg boldenone 250 , 0.5 mg deca 250, 0.5mg 250 test

Total : 625 test, 500 deca , 625 bold

Week 11 (now):
Sunday:
1mg enanthate 250, 1mg boldenone 250, 0.5 mg deca 250 ( before taking my injections I did an E2 blood work, then took AI 0.5 right after because I was worried about high E2, however when the result came it was within normal range)

Wednesday: 1mg deca 250, 1mg test enanthate 250, 0.5 boldenone 250

total: 500 enanthate , 325 deca , 325 boldenone

so tomorrow (Saturday) are my last injections of this week, but during this week I noticed decreased libido and erectile dysfunction, tomorrow I’m going to have a blood work for E2, prolactin, testosterone total, free testosterone and Progesterone

I was thinking about dropping deca but im worried this wont solve the problem and will just screw up the risks I have taken for this cycle , my other plan is to reduce the deca dosage to 375.

what do you guys think? thanks.

Could be the Bold or the Deca, but it’s likely the Deca. Dropping dose won’t help in my experience. I would drop it all together and expect it to take several weeks for full improvement.

Also you need to learn standard volume versus dosage communications. You are mixing mg with ml/cc in your communications.

Update: So I did some blood work to make sure what was going on, i did not stop the cycle but reduced doses to 625/375 deca / 500 bold

my FSH was below 0.66 (ref range 1.55 - 9.74 )
my LH was below 0.216 (range 1.24 - 8.62 )

prolactin was 9.65 (4.04 - 15.20 )
free test was 263.200 ( 4.810 - 22.240)
total test 7090.00 (249 - 836 )

so my trainer advised me 2500 IU every three days and proviron 25mg every day

however, I had my libido and no more ED 24 hours after the 2500 IU injection, with mild pain in the testicles, i have not taken the proviron yet

my question now, should I stop both of HCG and proviron? there’s still like 5-6 weeks left for my cycle, libido and ED dont bother me they just put me in a bad mood.

Very odd that you got these checked, but not estradiol? Was there a reason for that?

Didn’t really need to check these, unless you thought your gear was fake. You’re on a cycle, it’s assumed TT/FT will be very out of range.

Interesting PRL wasn’t elevated.

If I were you I would complete the cycle as is and worry about libido/ED after the gainz have been made.

I have done E2 and prolactin like one week before this test.
prolactin was 9.55 (4.04 - 15.20) , another test two weeks earlier it was around this level as well, so I think the nandrolone is not affecting me

Estradiol was 24.20 ( 7.63 - 52.00 ) I’m taking like 0.25 mg arimidex weekly, I will check it next week and see if its too low I will stop the arimidex.

Honestly I started this cycle with some terrible gear, I think the dosage of the gear was not accurate. I was on 500 test / 250 EQ week 8 , nothing changed no symptoms just few/little back acne.

Week 9 I changed my trainer and he added nandrolone, and I raised the dosage of EQ to 500 test to 625

Week 4 of this new cycle I really started seeing differences with symptoms.

Yeah I think I screwed up I should not have touched the HCG but was worried its a nandrolone related symptoms

My question is now, during my cycle (this is my first ever), do you think its better (like less side effects in the future) to keep the testicles functioning during the cycle by hCG, or just ignore libido/ED till this cycle is finished.

but psychologically, I was so depressed before I started taking the hCG , once I started taking it I was mentally fine, but I think this is because of the symptoms I had. I dont know if losing ED/Libido will make you feel like this because I have never lost it or its just the thinking about it.

I think you overcomplicated things for your first cycle. There’s a reason everyone suggest test only to start with, cos if something fucks up, you know what did it.

If it were me, I’d drop it all except 500mg of test and run that. You do’n’T need HCG currently unless you are actively trying to remain fertile now.

Anyway, that’s what I’d do

Agreed. Too much information these days is causing a severe overthinking and paranoia around cycles. Just take some test, eat, work hard, sleep and get big. Not really that complicated.
