Arimidex and low sex drive, please help. Urgent

My sex drive was up the roof in week 2.. Started test it was fine, the moment I took adex the very next day sex drive went South.. Just took 2doses from Monday to Saturday.. Will be doing a 12 week cycle.. And also this is my first cycle. Do I really need adex? Or should I just start when required?

Okay here's the kicker because I have never cycled, yet honestly I think I'm right based on my research and reading here. Megatron actually confirmed above that he's thinking the same thing as I thought.

Issue is you ran var only for 2 weeks... Yes your sex drive was thru the roof in week two because var is androgenic so that can always be a side. However being that it is a steroid it will shut you down so once you discontinued the var and didn't have the extra androgens it provided your libido tanked because your natural test was shut down. You're in week 3 of test-e there for it hasn't fully kicked in yet as you know, the var should have been ran with the test not prior to the test.

As for your new plan, I don't believe you need 1000iu/wk of HCG, the gurus and pros on here suggested 500iu/wk to me for the same cycle (500mg test/wk @ 12 weeks) split into two shots, so 250iu twice a week like on test pin days. If you mix your HCG with a ratio of 1000iu to 1ml of bac water and use 100iu/1ml standard slin pins then 25iu on the syringe would be 250iu of HCG. So if you have 5000iu of HCG then dilute with 5ml of bac water and that gives you 1000iu per ML. Makes it easy to draw up. Then if you wanna stock ahead for a whole 12 week cycle you can pre fill all your pins with 250iu and place them in a paper bag and tuck them away gently in the freezer. This way all you have to do is pull the syringe out 1-2 days before pin and set it in the fridge then your GTG. There's a good article on here about HCG you can read, and the freezer point is because I read in another thread that HCG can't last 12 weeks in bac water just refrigerated... Idk if that's true but I'd rather freeze it than be sorry.

Like I said I haven't even ran my cycle yet so what do I know... Not much. Just passing along what these good dudes taught me.

I planned the same thing which you just mentioned for HCG, but BAC water is not available in here, so thtas why the change.. as for test i started test in week 3 and this week is technically my first week of test 3rd for overall cycle,i havent stopped my anavar yet..
 
I guess I'll just do 3-4 week nolvadex pct... I've just had 0.5mg of adex and 2 shots of test, so basically I need pct for anavar recovery.. So 3 weeks pct. Then after a month start with test only cycle.. Feeling sad would have gained so much.. But you learn from your mistakes.. This has made me a wise man.. Thank you everyone for your help..

Ah yes then you're definitely shut down man, I would do the PCT like they said and give it a few weeks after that and start back up. Like I said my knowledge is limited but you weren't shut down that long so you should come back fast. I see you said that you're only gonna have to recover from the anavar but unfortunately that's not true, even one shot of test will shut you down oddly enough. I noted this in another thread. I would run the test only next go and if you're set on the var then make sure you run it with the test at least.
 
the only problem you are currently having is a 'slight loss of libido' ? right ? big F'ing deal. Personally, I'd get bloods done, but not drop my cycle just 3 weeks in and then go through another 4 weeks of pct and feeling like shit.

The test will take a few weeks to kick in, your shut down because of the var that you took before ever running the test, and you could possibly of mis-dosed your AI (or took it too early) and you simply have low estrogen AND low testosterone right now (and thus NO libido, but that's an easy fix)
Var does NOT aromatize, so its doubtful you have high E

Okay so what do you suggest?

No, just the pct. Will drop the var completely in my next cycle.. Just test

keep on your protocol and keep pinning your test.. if your using a longer ester like test e or test c it will take a few weeks , but you'll get your libido back once its kicking in (your just currently shut down and low on T from the var). Also, being you were shut down from the Var and had NO test in your body that was aromatizing, and you took the Arimidex, you prob lowered your E big time or crashed it.
I would simply NOT take the arimidex until after you get blood work, but yes I would keep pinning the test.

I know a lot of guys around here believe in taking an AI from 'day one' even with long esters, but in your situation you were shut down and had no test to begin with and you took an AI. . VAR + Arimidex = no test and no E and thus no libido

Okay so, no anavar no adex.. Keep doing test as it will get my libido back.. Do my bloodtest and see the results and depending on that start with adex. Any specific blood test to be done?
