Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to doing steroid cycles. I was planing to start a new cycle in January/February, so I am "in between cycles" so to speak. The problem is that my sex drive is really low and according to bloodwork it might be due to low estrogen.
BACKGROUND
My last cycle was:
Test (500mg/week for 12 weeks)+Deca (300mg/week for 10 weeks)
PCT was:
Clomid: 200mg first day and 50mg E/D for 4 weeks
Novaldex: 40mg first day and 20mg E/D for 4 weeks
The PCT of this last cycle was completed about 1.5 months ago.
While doing PCT I felt downtime hitting me really hard. I had no strength, no motivation, no sex drive, it was horrible. It lasted for 6 weeks. I waited for 6 weeks after PCT to get bloodwork done, and the results were:
Estradiol: 15.21 pg/mL (Normal Male: 25.80~60.70)
FSH: 2.57 mIU/mL (Normal Male: 1.50 ~ 12.40)
LH: 2.22 mIU/mL (Normal Male: 1.70 ~ 8.60)
Testosterone: 4.78 ng/mL (Normal Male: 2.80 ~ 8.00)
Before the bloodwork I was suspecting my Testosterone wasn't totally recovered, but I was surprised to see that my estrogen levels were low. Doing some research I'm starting to think that the low estrogen might be affecting my sex drive.
I have plenty of clomid at hand so I though about doing 50mg E/D for about 2-4 weeks and see if that makes a difference. While my testosterone is not dangerously low, I though that increasing T might help increase Estrogen as well.
What are your thoughts on this? Any issue in taking clomid all the way up to my next cycle? Anything you would do differently?
Thanks a lot.
