I had recently gotten bloodwork 3 weeks after my cycle, since my libido took a big hit towards the end of it.
There was still test leaving my system but everything else was roughly normal.
My libido problem is interesting though. I can get hard, just not easily or through anything other than touching my dick. Mentally I do not want to have sex, I feel no drive. My penis also lacks the pleasure/sensitivity it normally had with normal libido.
I had ran NPP, but I’ve ran NPP in the past and ended up just fine. I’m hoping once my HPTA kicks back on through PCT I can gain my libido back.
The near 0 libido or ability to function properly is making me depressed, especially hearing guys have it for months and months. I want to be able to function and since I can’t my life has been pretty blank.
I’ve read a lot on the DHN problem with nandrolone and other things, but i’m not 100% sure it could have been the NPP, since I was also running test at 750mg with no AI, although my recent bloodwork showed my estrogen within normal range. Prolactin was only a couple points higher than the reference range.
Am I screwed? Is there anything I can do other than wait it out? It’s been nearly 5 weeks since my last pin, and i’m starting my PCT now roughly, Balls are still pretty weak looking, penis is kind of shriveled, limited bloodflow.
I saw a guy say HCG fixed this problem, obviously I shouldn’t take it when trying to recover, but is that a sign that the natural HPTA working again could possibly be the best thing to wait on for this libido to come back?
Honestly wouldn’t have thought this would be so detrimental/depressing for my quality of life, but it has been these past 4 weeks or so. Little to no improvement at all.
It’s too distinguishable to be a psychological problem right now. I’ve been on 40mg nolvadex for a few days and haven’t seen any changes in testicular size or anything.
I’m praying someone has some hopeful shared experience with this.
Bumping this. Erection quality seems a little better, but I still have very little mental sex drive or erections that aren’t induced. Is it possible this is permanent? I’m genuinely starting to become anxious and depressed as a result of this…
Same here. I had the same symptoms as OP too on just a small dose of 150mg/wk. As other said don’t let your anxiety get worse or you’ll feel your libido take a double whammy.
Here’s the correct answer that everyone hates: the cure for what ails you is time. That can’t be bought nor sped up. As @anon18050987 showed, neurotransmitters run on their own schedule.
I see. I am willing to wait. Its only the fear of being sexually suppressed for months and months or possible permanently is what scares me. I don’t care if it takes another month or so, but I hope it comes back as my natural test returns, or else I don’t know what i’ll do.
@anon18050987 so you’ve experienced a suppression of mental sex drive as a result of cycles, and it does come back? This is what I really wanted to hear, but could hardly find any success stories to comfort me lol.
Will do. I really appreciate you being positive about this. Its just now hitting around the 6 week mark since last injection on nandrolone. Luckily my hammer still works with work, but as long as it all fires back up again i’ll be fine. Its just the permanent loss of libido or ED on some forums that give me nightmares. this has honestly made me open up to abstaining from porn and everything that could possibly hinder sexual performance.
I’m glad you’re back to normal. Would you say your drive and sexual function is fully normal now?
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I ran a cycle of Test/NPP/EQ for 14 weeks. Towards the end I had literally no sexual desire, and it was no where near comparable to before the cycle. During the end and coming off, I found it very difficult to get an erection or have a desire for sex.
I have been off for exactly 8 weeks now, and started my PCT of Nolva 4 weeks after my last injection. I understand the EQ half-life and my mistake of running it, so I plan to continue my PCT for another 4 weeks.
I find it easier to gain a full erection now, but it is still somewhat difficult with no libido. I can not seem to orgasm easily, and prior I used to. I just don’t get overall turned on, which is not normal. I don’t really know what to do and I am praying it isn’t permanent. If anyone could offer some insight it would truly be appreciated.
