+ 1 Bloodwork help (low libido/liver pain)
Looking for some help breaking down this blood work here.
Should I be worried about any of this (cholesterol levels and high monocytes specifically)
I recently came off a cycle of 400mg deca per week and 600mg test per week. Took my AI as needed, and took .5mg caber per week. I felt “OK” throughout the cycle, but definitely realized that will most likely be my last time using deca. I am currently only on 300mg test per week, and as of lately I have had zero libido and struggling to keep an erection even with viagra/Cialis/PT-141. Clearly as you can see my prolactin is crashed. My LH and FSH also appear to be crashed (I am on TRT prescribed by doctor for 3 years now, so does LH/FSH really matter?)
I have nolva, clomid, HCG, proviron all on hand, should I add any of these to the regime? Is there any way to bring my prolactin back to normal aside from just waiting time, and would this be the root cause of libido/erection issues?
On top of that I have been using Accutane for some time now due to bacne, which has since cleared and I have come off. I also have been going out a lot lately on the weekends drinking quite a bit (I know, bad on cycle shame on me) and have lately been experiencing pain in my right abdomen, lack of appetite, and acid reflux. I was sure it had to be liver issues, but blood work proves otherwise, any thoughts/help is appreciated!

Prolactin crashed will cause erectile dysfunction. Horney Goat Weed helps with ed and sex drive. Might be worth a research dive. Lot of literature in medical journals on it
I saw reports on vit d used in females gave a quick rise in prolactin but unsure about males.
I miss old school diesel test.
It seems many guys get into the habit of added aromatase inhibitors or dopamine agonists too soon or too high of a dose. I certainly miss the days of small test cycles with no ai and grow like a weed!
I ran different combos of test and test/dbol 5-6 times before I dabbled into anything else. I did that because those are the two best drugs ever manufactured for lifting heavy shit without screwing up everything else. Never did I use an AI, because the one time I did I crashed like a mf’er, and my only PCT was clomid… never experienced issues like some people seem to experience and it’s evident there is so much more going on.
Spring was a massive 300mg test and winny. Fall 300 mg and huge 15mg split of pharma dbol. Clomid and recovery was simple when younger. Haha! Did that quite a while.
Can you time stamp your last cycles and list everything you were on? After going down the rabbit hole, it looks like you’ve taken EQ, Tren, and Deca within a year and a half period. I know your massive and logic tells me other things were involved. I log everything in a journal. If you don’t, you should because this is the type of shit that puts you in a hurst.
You have 2 factors working against you in terms of ED. Low prolactin and low estro. Each are likely to cause ED and you have both. Yeah, technically 20 for estro isn't crashed but it is pretty low on the scale and can be a problem in terms of ED just like high estro can be. Are you still taking AI? That is an extremely low level for 300mg of test if not on an AI. How long have you been off cycle for?
Last ai was .5mg arimidex 1 week ago. I have been off cycle for about 1 month now. I plan to not use AI at all anymore unless the nips truly get spicy. I know I mentioned potential liver issues, but considering my blood work looks clear, would it hurt to pop 25-50mg of dbol for a day or 2 to get that e back up?
Adex should just about be clearing system now so I would expect estro rise on its own fairly quickly with that amount of test so I wouldn't mess around with taking dbol or anything else to raise it. Going to end up on a roller coaster ride playing that game. If going to try anything, I would opt for a couple of weeks of some high dosed shots of HCG. That should wake up the nuts and help with raising estro just a tad to where it needs to be and fire up the libido more. 2500iu E3d for a couple of weeks should give you a spark. Estro should be covered then, but raising prolactin is a much more difficult and slower issue. I'm not sure of anything natural to raise that. Probably going to have to ride that one out. Who knows, just raising estro a bit and getting a LH surge may be all you need and you will be good to go. So try that and see how it goes. Getting estro up should help a little bit with prolactin also.
2500?? Sounds like alot but I’ll give it a try. Forgot to mention I’m about 2 weeks in on doing 500 iu 3x a week and nothing notable yet. Appreciate the advice!
Need to bump up dose to kickstart things in action and to give a little estro boost Can cruise on 250-500iu 2-3x/wk afterwards
In my opinion 400mg of Deca is too low an amount to be using Caber, so basically its crashed your prolactin levels. These will return back to normal usually on their own in 3 to 4 months time. Caber really is strong stuff and should not be underestimated. I'm not too sure on the liver front as to why you would be getting pains there, without seeing bloodwork I would of immediately thought it was down to the Accutane as its so toxic to that organ but all your levels look fine. Maybe the lack of appetite is due to drinking and slight anorexia from coming off cycle which many can get. You could request an ultrasound on you liver if it continues to bother you to check for tumours and excess fat, but normally those things would show in bloodwork.
