Libido Issue During and After Test Cycle

I did a test cycle
250 sustanon
200 prop weekly
10 week

27 years old

After week 1 starting to have low libido and ed issues…
I not use hcg, AI, nolva anything more during cycle

Two weeks after the last shot i did only 3 weeks of clomid 100,50,50 the last day on clomid i did blood work

One week later:


(E2 85pg non sensitive)

Used exemestane to lower my e2, did it but no improvements on libido…

4 months OFF, after the last pin i did another blood work, and my FT is really high, FSH low

Currently having dead libido and ed issues, can help me? Ft looks high, i guess my shbg will be very low… any advice guys? @KSman @systemlord @dextermorgan @middleages

Do you have current labs for prolactin and DHT?

last lab was taken a week ago,
And another labs when my prolactin was 8, i feel the same when it raises to 20, no symptoms changed @swoops39
I have another blood panel, and my sugar level its ok

Your numbers look pretty normal. Do you have pre cycle blood work to know how far off of baseline you are?

I dont have pre bloodworks bro

Look at
FT range 8-27
Mine is 23.7 off cycle

That means my shbg is really low

During cycle i guess the high e2 was the cause of libido issues

Sustanon hangs around in your system for a long time. 3 weeks of clomid is also not enough. If it was me I would go back to PCT at 25mg/day of clomid for 6 weeks, and see if things improve.

@Rg9494 some guys report they get horny as hell on high E2 others get dead dick. I get dead dick if my E2 goes over 40 pg/ml 29 being the top of the sensitive scale. My sweet spot is 20-24 YMMV

@hrdlvn
But you feel diference?
On my own experience when my e2 was 83 lower it with exemestane to 50,40
The lowest was 28pg but dont feel any better
(Non sensitive test)

If Im reading things right, your PCT did reboot things, but you’re gonna need another test 3 months after your PCT to have a true view of where your levels are. The thing that is probably happening is that your Nitric Oxide production may have slowed down a bit, and this is essential for erections. If you have an erection fail it can create a loss of libido due to fear of failure. Panicking releases cortisol and the problem compounds weeks into recovery. So… if you can find injectable Arginine get some. Then take 2.5mg of Cialis daily. This should help you get your erections back. Libido may take a bit longer, but it will return if you get proper sleep, and promote sexual thoughts by reading instead of watching porn. Look at provocative pictures and ease your mind back into a healthy baseline. Im not saying that good ole porn is bad, but dont force yourself into wanting it. Hope this helps.

I got libido issues since second week of cycle… I guess e2 was high, i got bloodwork just during pct and e2 was 83pg, used exemestane like 2 weeks to lower it, but not improvement on symptoms ,during cycle sildenafil was working, but now 3 months after pct it doesnt work

That bloodwork was from last week
My natural FT 23.7 <~~ high level (low fsh)

TT=560
E2 =32 pg
LH 2.5
Fsh 1.5

Sorry for the bad english man

Well it does sound like Nitric Oxide levels are not what you need them to be. When levels are good, Viagra works as good or better than Cialis. While on cycle, higher T levels accelerate the production of Nitric Oxide. As for Libido, that ends up falling into the waiting game. Its not easy to pinpoint.

When I look erotic pictures and touch it, it responds like 5/10 (just work a little but phisically stimulation) but feel like another thing is missing or isnt working like sex signal or libido signal, also the semen volume its very low by now
My fsh 1.5

Nitric oxide can be taken like GAT suplements?

When the symptom list continues to grow its because your mind is trying very hard to find an answer. Semen volume being low is not uncommon. I experience this when I cycle HCG. Its nothing to worry about since weeks later volume goes up a bit. I think that you’re ok and the lack of connection is because you’re focused on your lack of erection. Its a vicious cycle. But lets dissect this a bit.

  1. When was the last time you had sex?
  2. How often do you have sex?
  3. Do you have morning wood or wake up with erections at night?
    Lets start with that

Morning wood was really good before cycle i usually have sex and takes around 1 hour even more to finish, hard all time…

, just when i start the cycle the second week feeling down and down my libido and erection, some people reports rising sex drive on cycle, but in my case it was the opossite….

All the cycle I used sildenafil , sex frecuency was very frecuent like 4 times/week and hard wood

When i was trying to lower my e2, the most i lower it was to 28pg after that, sildenafil doesnt work

That was like two months ago

Now I have sex like 1-2 times\week
But libido sex arousal, no existent,
I just got a erection when touch myself my d….

And when gets hard isnt hard like before cycle…
Its like 5\10 and a few minutes during sex or masturbate
it gets soft, its like off…like i want but i cant… like something is missing
How i know now its really bad because I compared to before all
@middleages

Ok. So on the second week you decided to lower E and thats when the problems began?

@middleages

Two months After finishing the cycle, and two weeks after finishing pct
was when I tried to lower e2

The problems about libido and ed
Started like week two into cycle…

And still the same after 4 months off

Ok, now were getting somewhere. High E was never the issue, but you believed it to be, so you lowered your E with no result. First of all, Estrogen is good for you so leave it alone, and let’s keep it out of the conversation from now on.
You’re experiencing Deca or Tren Dick, and since you continued through the entire cycle (due to good gym results) its going to take time for your Endocrine, CNS to recover. Your best bet is to get the compound out of your system and never use that source again. One of the esters you used is junk.

Getting it out of your system is the only solution. So I hope you’re still hitting the gym.

  1. Hydrate like a fish
  2. Work out as usual
  3. Cardio daily for 2 weeks
  4. Sauna daily for 2 weeks
  5. Eat right
  6. Sleep 6-8 hours

Its as simple as that, yet it requires commitment and no messing around with your hormones. Leave it all alone. It will come back.

I recently stop cialis (2-3 weeks ago) and erections came to a halt for weeks, no night time or morning erections at all and actually had a new onset of urination issues and in the last week urinary symptoms have all disappeared and erections are back with a vengeance.

So if you were on sildenafil during cycle and stop abruptly, maybe that’s why you are having these issues and are just dealing with withdrawal.

So low SHBG

In the last bloodwork

With a natural TT 575ng
FT 23.6 8-27ng
E2 32pg 11-44 non sensitive

Can be the E2 stills causing the issues?

Because I read with low SHBG you need e2 in the lower end range

But cycle was 4.5 months ago…

I’m sure this is true for some but not all. I have low SHBG (14) and I don’t feel any different whether it’s 28 or 93.
