Irregular sex drive is a side effect of AAS use. No way around it, and in my opinion, no way to really predict the formulation of factors that precipitate a period of low libido. There is speculation that too high E or even to low of E can cause your libido to crash, then there is the idea that prolactin elevation can cause it, or even SHBG, DHT depletion, DHEA depletion, etc. I have had countless blood tests over the years while on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and monitored E levels, test levels, etc. I have also tried using compounds that have DHT like effect (Proviron, masterdon), which often do nothing as well. SO, bottom line, who the fuck knows why my libido crashes for weeks, even a month or two at a time, then suddenly comes roaring back for 1-2 months. Also, I am an emotionally stable guy, in a stable relationship, with a stable job, so its not related to life-stress factors.
periodic loss of libido is definitely is a side effect of test usage and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), no way around it, no way to prevent it from popping up.
