lost erections while on pct

[ndnlifter]

sorry about the TMI guys but i have a problem. week 4 of pct, clomid,nolva, gw50156, aromasin, and mk2866.
I have noticed over the last 3 weeks that my sex drive is way off. Non existent. this is not normal by any means for me! my stats are 48yrs old, training for many many years. 8%bf, 165lbs. My cycle was a simple one of just "TEST C" for 12 weeks. I know i should have done my blood work by now but i havent. making that call today to have done immediately. Never went above 400 with test. I could not perform with my wife last night! i have only done 3 cycles in my lifetime and never a pct before this cycle. I have never lost sex drive after previous cycles either, so im not sure what is going on. Any advise is really welcomed. Will repost with blood results after i get them back if needed. I have not lost any size and just a little strength. But i cant have my most important part not working. HELP! Feel free to ask whaterver you need. I have very tough skin. Thanks in advance.

I'd like to help bro, but unfortunately it's all speculation without bloodwork. It could be high or low estrogen, or still low test, or something else entirely. You need the bloodwork to see how to proceed. If I was to guess, since you are in week 4 of pct, with a well covered pct it could be low estrogen, but that's purely a guess. You are about finished with pct at this point anyways, so stop the aromasin and see if it improves. But definitely get that bloodwork

thanks. yes stopping the aromasin and scheduling blood work with dr. this am.

Yup, totally agree with Rick. I just went through this but I'm in a longer PCT (8 weeks), blood test showed estradiol at <5.0 which was off the chart low on the ref range. Stopped the aromasin and the wife is happy again. I still think clomid and nolva mess with sex drive and emotion to a degree...

How are your joints, achy? Another sign of low estradiol.

Joints are fine, strength is still suprisingly good. almost no change is muscularity, bf% very minute change. thought all was well.

 

[RickRock]

Stop that aromasin and update us if anything improves within the next week

Clomid always messes up my estro. I use very little of it. Very impotant to get bloods so you know for sure. I always keep some viagra around for pct b coz u never know when ur gonna need it

Thanks everyone. Will update with blood panel when it comes back.

ok. its been a week. just got blood panel back and can clearly see total testosterone is low 248 (264-916 range), free test is low 6.2 (6.8-21.5 range). looks like my doc DID NOT include estrogen levels in panel, i cant find it anywhere. is there any other info that would be helpful to you guys. i did use viagra 2 days after this post and IT WORKED THANKFULLY! And now morning erections starting to slowly come back.

It would really help,to know your estrogen levels, but from the info you provided it's obviouos you need to bring those test levels up which could at least be a part of your issues

It sucks but you need to go back and get your E2 checked... do it via privatemdlabs or the equivalent, the minimal cost far outweighs the headache of getting your doc to test it IF he'll even agree to it. The more you read about hormone levels and doctors, the more you realize the level of ineptitude among GPs and even some Endo docs. I recall my doctor telling me that he wasn't going to test me for a female hormone.

Some of the symptoms of high and low E2 are similar if not exactly the same but the number of matching symptoms should stand out indicating one or the other. I'll PM you a link I found helpful.

Believe me, I understand the frustration... my wife is an unstoppable freak which would be perfect for me at test levels of 2300 but right now, I just go make a sandwich instead. Sucks.

Would running a test booster like D-aspartic acid or tribulous help speed up the recovery process?? As well as running a NO2 booster like Arginine alpha kept gluterate or agmatine? I run both those and seem to help.

they will all help, yes... the product i have coming out next week will increase libido in ridiculous amounts
