8 weeks in on low dose- libido in shitter
Stats:
33, 200lbs, first time taking aas. Bodyfat. I don't know but not fat at all. See my pic I have posted. I am a bit leaner at this point however. Been training since I was 19 and competetive powerlifting for about 7 years.
Anyway, I went to the doc and got my test levels checked and they were right around 430 total. I said for my age I think it should be higher and would like to get it to the high-normal range so he had no problem putting me on some test. Prescribed 200ml Watson Cyp once monthly. Well, I am in college now and did not want to do a real cycle and blow up as it would probably get me in trouble considering the profession I am going into. I did however want to just feel better and have some motivation in the gym; a little extra edge I guess.
I have been doing 200mg/week instead of a month. The first few weeks I noticed an increase in libido right away. Well the last 3 weeks or so I noticed that it was taking me longer to get off which wasn't all that bad. Well, now this past week I get hard at first and then right away I lose it and it's like trying to stick a marshmallow in a keyhole. It is really starting to piss me off. Not sure why this is happening. Checked my BP today and it was 140/76. Not that low but nothing higher than before I was on test. I decided to do another shot yesterday so I have had 400mg this week and I started HCG (250mg yesterday) hoping that would maybe kick it back up there.
I am not experiencing any high estro sides. No bloat, no itchy nips or anything of the sort. I didn't think I would need an AI on this low of a dose but could my estro be high at that? Should I start an AI? I have adex and aromisin. Just want my cock to work again! This sucks. That never happened before I was on test.

Well, something is working. Fapped it twice today and it didnt take a damn hour either! Plus i am hornier than shit today. Felt better yesterday alreadt but even much more noticable today. Thanks guys! Now just hope i dont go the other way. My exemestane is in 12.5 mg caps and i know there is no way to split them up and end up with an even dose.
Good to hear brother. Glad you your spirits are up among other things lol.
X2 what fast said. Not everyone gets the same high estro sides. That's why blood work is really important when doing things like aas.
mr127superdeelisten to fast hop on an ai i cruise at 200mg a week as well and .50mgs arimidex eod keeps my estro under 30
Get your estrogen and FSH tested. Both of these if not in good working order can effect libido. Estrogen can still be high even though no indication of outward symptoms. Did you have your estro checked before you went on TRT?
Yes. I have blood work posted.
Those bloods are from 4 months ago. You need bloods now.
You are right. I knew when i posted this that is what people would say. It is the only way to know for sure. Better than a guessing game. Im gonna see what i can pull together. Thanks
Very good! You doing it the right way. When I went on TRT my libido drop at the 10th week my Doctor prescribe HCG to up my FSH levels and within a week it returned. Not presuming that this is your issue just giving you what I experienced. My estrogen was in normal range as well I was on adex when my libido dropped.
Thats why i have stayed away from the ais just yet. I was reading it caused a lot of people to lose libido. Adex anyway. Well. Hopefully one of these works between the hcg and exemestane
Yeah I gave just my experience. Fast48 has a lot more knowledge & experience then I do. I get tested every month because I like to be overly cautious but it can be expensive.
No bro...you gotthis correct from life experience. High five! Teach him
I appreciate the support but I try not to go beyond my depths:). I am grateful for all that I have learned here from you guys and when it comes to this stuff those who know more can give more. I want him to know the difference in our experience so that he can prioritize his sources. But thanks for the encouragement.
That's exactly why you are very correct. Until bloods show the current levels its simply ai. Giving advice of getting bloods and which to ask for is key. His prior test didnt show bound test either. Another thing that generally hits anyone off cycle and libido....stress. He's a family man and student. He might have been Hella horney just by stress alievers. Either route if he continues hrt.....its a big decision.
I hear you. Can't do this thing well without proper tests. More important to save the money for tests imho then gear. As a proper order of doing things.
Bingo!
Bloodwork of today. Need current estro values. And hcg also converts to estro.
Well... Cant even afford bloodwork now. My wife just dropped me from the insurance cuz we cant afford it with me in school. Just took the exemestane. Hopefully it helps with my problem. U suggest i dont do the hcg?
Privatemedlabs.com female panel tests everything for $59. You're on a cycle. To go from the 400test level on your bloods to 600 woulda been a simple 50/week of cyp if doc prescribed 200/mo. At the level you're running I'd bet your well over 1000. So wuestion is....are you finishing cycle at week 12? Pct? Reblood test month after pct completed? Or run exmastane thru cycle then back to the 50Mg/week. If you blast n cruise it shuts your natty test off. So this is a moment to plan your future. Hcg depends. It converts to estro but keeps balls plumped. Many guys on trt for life run just enough hcg to have fatty balls even though the trt has them badically shut off. The exmastane/aromasin will keep estro in check. When estro is in check you might be able to half dose so you don't get low estro problems.
fast48, Thank you for the blood lab contact info. Come to find out they will perform my blood work from a location 2 miles from my home. You Rock. Thanks Bro.
No libido is high estrogen. Ai definitly.. Also know at that level of test you ARE on cycle. So week 12 you'll need pct. Aromasin at 12.5Ed thru cycle and pct.
Pct
Aro 12.5 12.5 6.75 6.75
Clomid 100...100...50...50
Nolva 20...20...10...10
