Sex drive just died on HRT..natural anti-estrogens?

[sterling90]

I've been on very low doses of test e and GH for about 8 weeks now. I've been taking only 1IU/day of GH for about 6 months (dropped from 2 IU as it seemed to be bloating me in the face). I've been taking 100mg of test e/week for about 8 weeks. My sex drive was off the charts until last week when it just stopped. My ejaculate is now practically nothing. I'm taking this more for sex and general atheletic performance and was feeling great. Now the sex sucks. I didnt think I would shut down on such a low dose..escpecially with the GH..does this make sense? I dont have a source for viagra ect.. Does anyone have suggestions for an over the counter anti-estrogen fix? Something I could maybe go to the nutrition store and pick up today? I'm leaving this weekend to spend a week with a girlfriend from out of town so this timing really sucks. I dont have time to have anything delivered.

My other question is should I take this weeks injection or just go off the test for a while? Will quitting now drop my sex drive even more or will taking another 100mg shot hurt me more?

100mg/week of testosterone enantahte is not low at all for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It puts most (but certainly not all) guys into the top quartile of the normal range.

It is impossible to know what is going on without some bloodwork. In particular:
-Free teststerone
-Estradiol (the most sensitive assay available, not the standard estradiol test)

Very helpful if you can get these as well:
-Total testosterone
-Bioavailable testosterone
-Total estrogens
-Prolactin

And it wouldn't hurt to get these if you haven't already:
-CBC
-Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
-Lipid Panel (cholesterol: you should fast for 12 hours for this one)
-TSH
-Free T3
-Free T4

Stopping your shot now would UNDOUBTEDLY least to an almost negative sex drive! It sounds like you've become accostumed to your new test level. Makes sense as enanthate will level out around six weeks (those tiny weekly increases due to hormone buildup-for however long the first shot stays around). Maybe a liquid anti-E? Best bet would be to have comprhensive bloodwork done.

The same thing always happens to me,when I start a cycle my sex drive goes crazy,then after about 6 weeks it completly goes away.I really don't know why it does it to me mid cycle like that,but it really sucks.

Thanks guys. At least I know what I'm up against and that it's not that unusual. Anybody know of something I could get from a health food store to help in that area other than sexual herbs. Something for anti-e?

Order your liquid Viagra from Researchology.com, for research purposes only, of course. That will keep you functioning, although your libido may be off.
