Low libido freaked me out
36 y.o male 5'11 195lbs
worked out since early teen years.
Always stayed active sometimes I lift mainly I play sports after a few of life's injuries i slowed down in the gym. Started hitting it hard 3,4 years ago and decided I wanted to see some growth so I did a test cycle 12 weeks at 500mg a week. I did not gain much size but what I did gain I feel I keep most of and satisfied with the results.
Did a basic PCT nova, clomid for 4 weeks.
3-4 weeks after pinning I noticed my libido was totally gone. It was hard to get hard and sometimes even lost my erections.
I think it was 2 good months after last test shot that I started feeling like my libido is back. I plan on running 2 more cycles of test maybe starting off the next cycle with DBOL. But keep every thing low even maybe keep the test at 350-400 mg a week for 12 weeks.
I really didn't enjoy the lack of sex drive and considering adding HGH to my next cycle or even PCT.
I have been reading up on HGH for a month or so and think I wNt to add it.
Have any of you seen a big difference in cycle with HGH and a cycle without HGH? And do you recommend it or not??
Thanks for your time guys I have done my homework it's just reassuring hearing experience for the experienced

This is very typical at your age. Ignore those who say otherwise. Clomid and nolva appear to be a cause for many. This is the reason for the new product Androxal, which is a single isomer of clomid.
HGH will help you recover faster, but you will still be down. It's the price you pay in this game.
Don't use proviron until test levels normalize. It can be suppressive.
Honestly, at your age, you should be done with sex being central to your life. Hit the gym, make money, invest... I have come to enjoy periods of low libido as I can get shit done.
Interesting point of you. Really at 36 y.o I have sex 5-7 days a week still I have slowed down to where Iam not banging all weekend long. So when I went a what seemed to be a whole month I was concerned. Thanks sir your input different angles and perspectives is what Iam after
I have experienced very low libido but it came while running nor-19's. I also did experience some libido loss while blasting 1200mg test weekly, but it was my fault due to not increasing ai dosage. I would really make sure that your source is good first off. I would also recommend getting blood work to see where all of your levels are at. I would recommend doing this before you start your next cycle. Dbol will raise estrogen and could possibly result in crashing libido. I would also make sure to have an AI on hand and take it throughout your next cycle. Proviron, as stated earlier, will help free up your test and keep it from binding so much to your sex hormones. I always get blood work checked before and during mid cycle, to make sure I am dosing correctly. I definitely agree that having low libido is totally unwanted. Good luck with your next cycle.
I did do my bloodworm and got on clomid cuz My e2 was a bit high. I will defiantly keep an eye on my e2 especially using DBOL. I will defiantly look into proviron now that I know how my body is reacting to the test I know I need a lil help in that area Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it
RustyhookerClomid has nothing to do with e2 buddy. I'd skip that dbol cycle. Master a basic cycle. It sounds like you don't understand ai, pct, hcg yet.
At our age you better be prepared. Post up a full cycle. Skip dbol. Learn estro control first.
Are your current bloods posted
Thats an abnormal to have a reduction in libido. High estrogen can be a cause, but after only 4 weeks at that dose hard to imagine estro spiking that high. As stated, look into proviron. You sure what you had was Test? Tren enanthate maybe? That would definitely cause loss of libido for duration.
If it was indeed Test, then high estro is the only thing I can think of that would cause it......strange, Test should raise libido skyhigh....and even if estro raised, your libido would be up at least for a little while.
Thanks for the input sensei that's exactly what I was looking for so its not to common. Now while I was on cycle I felt like a raging bull when it came to my libido but like a months after that's when I lost my libido for a bit. Even now almost 2 1/2 months later I'll call my drive about 90-95%
Ok, so you had raging libido on your cycle? Reading your original post it alludes that your libido died 3-4 weeks after first pin and never came back. Maybe I read it wrong. If your libido is still shot after pct then you likely didnt recover, or worse...wont recover. Maybe your clomid/nomvadex was bad, or maybe at your age, the endocrine system decided to stay shut off. This is a risk we all take, there is no guarantee our HPTA will recover from any cycle we do.
I would assume here your pct did little to nothing for you, and your body is just slow to bounce back since you say youre now at 90% libido.....
Well did you use an aromatase inhibitor during your cycle to control E2, if not that could explain low libido if estradiol was high.
Also read up on proviron it is a great addition to help free up testosterone and keep your libido reved up.
I did use a.i clomid because my e2 came back higher then I wanted it at it was like 72 if I remember correctly. So I will give it another try if my blood work comes back at regular levels and keep an eye on my e2 which I suspect was an issue all along I could tell in my water retension
No you don't want to use clomid it only increases the E2, you should have used nolvadex, but what you really need to use is adex or aromasin so look into those for an AI. Also join beginners cycle in the group section and browse around and read and you'll learn a few things and pick up on stuff you my need for your cycle.
Your absolutely right hump pump I Meng aromasin is what I used sorry about the confusion. Thanks for catching that man
