7 weeks into Test E and no libido increase

[wutangnomo1]

Doing 12 weeks of human grade ICN Galenika Test E 500mg/week and in week 7. This is a lean gain/body recomp cycle with the goal of achieving 8-10 lbs muscle. I'm up 10-12lbs on a clean diet b/c want to minimize bloat. Strength is up and muscle fullness and overall physique changes are noticeable.

I sweat a lot more especially when working out/physically active. Personally, I think I smell differently as well. Recovery also seems quicker.

Negatives: I cannot sleep as well which sucks. Usually I'm out like a baby but I wake in the middle of the night and have a tough time falling back to sleep. Also, I haven't experienced any increase in energy (some ppl say they have more energy on cycle... if anything, I might be a little more tired but not sure if that's related to the sleep). Biggest disappointment is zero increase in libido!

I'm pretty sure this gear is legit given the above affects. Is this normal not to have any libido increase?

your estro might be high or bp as well! bro, are u running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) along side with your test?
Man i am on my 7th week of test c and sex drive is crazy, plus pumps are crazy and focus at the gym, well lets just not get into that part lol, all and all great bro!
running myself 400mg/week, with no Aromatase inhibitor (AI), this is not my first cycle and my past cycles i dont have any issues without running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), so i dont , to each there own

I agree, this is a good possibility. My libido tanks when my estro gets too low or too high.

Have you had any blood work done?

 

[Matt0071]

gets some blood work done, only way to determine whats really going on bro
i myself like stated above have the complete opposite other then the same at night at times, hard to sleep at times, but other then that i just always get the sides of acne on my shoulders and back, but i can live with that
last time doing sustanon my levels were wacked bro, bp was high as fuck and estro was high, i am fine with running single esters but blends for test my body doesnt agree to a certain blend in the sustanon

Thanks bros!

I have not had blood work done but probably should. I'll check my BP tomorrow.

To clarify, my libido has not tanked, it has just remained the same and there has been no increase at all. I can still get horny, i still wake up with morning wood but that's how I was pre-cycle. I would not say i had a high sex drive before, just average. I was hoping being on test would make me horny as fuck.

Also, i don't seem to sufer any estro sides... no bloating (partly due to clean diet), no acne (I actually clear up when on test), no itchy/puffy nips.

I have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) but have not taken any b/c I want to minimize the compounds I put into my body.

I have never been able to make sense of libido fluxuations, despite lots of blood work and monitoring my estrogen and test levels on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) very carefully, and in the past, massive doses of test, tren, orals, etc. There would be random periods of time when my libido would absolutely crash or not respond to a cycle, and it never correlated with much (what I was on, or what my blood levels were). Been on steady dosage of test ( 300 mg/week) for past few years and my libido still jumps all over the place for months at a time, even with constant anti-e's. Am in my mid 40s and have been trying to figure this out for 10 years with all sorts of different regimens. It is just the way my physiology responds. I dont think everyone gets a huge libido boost from test, or similar, for the entire time, or maybe not at all.
