Unknown Sex Drive Fluctuations for a Year

Hey guys,

I've been dealing with fluctuations in my sex drive for almost a year straight now. And the depressing thing about it is that it has been anywhere from 0% to 50% tops. I have had issues both on AND off cycle. I am pretty much never horny, ever. I've gotten blood work 8 weeks into a cycle and my test was over 5,000. My estradiol was in range, but my prolactin was just under the normal range because I was taking caber for a few weeks prior to the blood work. The reason I was taking caber was because my sex drive fell all from the start of a cycle with deca (no surprise there). But I don't know anyone who experiences sex issues for long periods of time both on and off cycle.

My dick has gone down in the middle of sex with my girl numerous times. I am literally nervous to have sex because I'm afraid it's going to happen again. I tried cialis but that doesn't help sex drive, it just helps maintenance of an erection. But if you have no sex drive and can barely get it up cialis is worthless.

I am currently finishing my last week of post cycle hcg, then starting my pct of clomid and nolva this coming monday. My cycle was:

Week 1-4: 400mg Test E a week, 400mg EQ a week, 50mg Tbol a day.
Week 5-10: 500mg Test E, 500mg EQ, 0.5mg adex a week, no orals.
Then I waited 2.5 weeks clean, and started hcg 750iu 3x a week for 4 weeks (ending this week). Still taking 0.5mg adex a week throughout to control E sides.
I'm starting pct this coming Monday 100mg clom/40mg nolva first week, then 50/20 for the last 3.

Then I plan on getting a FULL blood test a couple weeks later.

The reason my sex drive fell in the first place was because I was running sust and deca last year with nolva during cycle, and no caber i think (I knew nothing about this at the time, I was an idiot). I'm assuming this shot my prolactin through the roof. I also did not run hcg or a pct after that cycle because I aborted the cycle early as I was barely getting results and thought my cycle was diluted or a fluke. I was frustrated and literally just cut the cycle early (10 weeks or so). A month later I crashed hard and stayed off for 6 months hoping my body would eventually recover itself. It didn't. So I got back on the test/eq cycle stated above (in which I'm now coming off of) in hopes that if I run a proper pct it may bring me back up. I am hoping that now that I am running a proper pct coming up, that my body will feel normal again.

But my main question is, is there anything else you guys know of that plays a role in sex drive other than your test levels, estradiol levels, and prolactin?? My sex drive has not been over 50% in a year, whether my test is high or low, and I just can't seem to figure this out. It's depressing and my anxiety is high. Feeling like an asexual is creepy as fuck and I don't want this shit to ruin my relationship and sex life in general. Any feedback is much appreciated.
 
Anxiety can kill erections and libido. That's one thing to consider. You could inquire about a light dose of Xanax or the like. Might help.

I struggled with libido while on test cycle with estrogen in good range, prolactin ok etc. I posted and asked for insight but nobody responded. Things are fine now, cleared up on their own. I know that's not much help.

When did you have 5k test levels? Not this past cycle, right? What were you running?
 
Lot s of potentialities could be at play here.

How old are you ?


Yes Xanax or any benzo will lower anxiety by forcing your GABA to chill u out central nervous systemically speaking but they also can ( me ) cause delayed ejac as the nervous system has the edge taken off it which CAN manifest itself into your not feeling that red snapper or tight crapper as well as u could w o the benzo's. Besides they are ADDICTIVE as heck. Most prescribed , overally in the western hemisphere b t w. With ani biotikaa s and opiates running a close 2 nd and 3 rd . ( The University of Newcastle School of Neuroscience, University of Psychology, The Royal Victorian Infirmary --The Ashton Manual 2006 to name a few )

Thinking about your losing ur virility is not a good thing...ie..it s not sexy in no shape or form and over analyzing it and wondering -
Is it hard enough, is it staying hard enough ?
Used to kill my erections.

I d pct out..wait get bloods and till then quit obsessing and try to chill and remember this did not happen in a month and month s maybe required to restore normality to your whole body. Dick included.

Like training, it s the mind first , the gym 2 nd. Sex too. Don t over train or over think either.

I think in both German 1 st, and then English and at times type what is not correct grammatically in either language but efficient as heck if ur fluent in both....savvy ?.

.it s part of my on going mentalness...
 
so we have to look at a number of possibilities

1. you now have performance anxiety due to not being able to perform in the past thanks to bad hormone levels... psychological ED is very real

2. your current hormone levels, since youre blasting hcg and about to start pct, are going to be in the gutter.. your sex drive will likely not be doing so well.. but bloods will let us know for sure

3. your blood pressure, if running too high will cause this issue as well.. when was the last time you had your bp checked?? what was it??

4. what other drugs and medications are you taking? benzos? anti depressants?? list everything

My test levels were at 5,500 after 8 weeks of this past test/eq cycle which got me by surprise that seemed high for such a cycle. And yes I believe you about the anxiety. There are times when I'm not even thinking about it and I kiss my girl and the guy pops up. Then when it's time to have sex he's completely dead and I have to try and not think about it in order to get it up.

Yes ED is happening because I'm always thinking about it during sex. Yes I'm aware my hormones will take a shit during pct that's another reason why I'm freaking out because I'm having issues and they will only get worse. My blood pressure is fine I check it often at work. Never was out of normal range. And I'm not taking anything drug wise. Just currently on hcg and adex. Cialis on hand but it's not doing much for me
 
Can EQ give false test level results? Anyone?

Does your girl know about your AAS use? An open conversation about feeling anxiety and the reasons why could lesson that anxiety. when my libido was low my wife was aware of what was going on and took steps pre-intercourse to help the little guy out.

If your girl does not know I'd say that would certainly add to the overall stress of the situation.

It actually was this past cycle. I was on the test and eq when i got that blood work done, and forgot to mention I was running 250iu hcg 3x a week as well by that time (just a couple weeks).

Yes my girl knows. She doesn't like it. But she knows.

I'm only 24. I'm coming off my 3rd cycle. My first was a year and a half ago. Just test and a winny finish. Never had sex issues. The next cycle was sust and deca. My sex drive got murdered. Then this past cycle of test/eq in which my sex drive is still struggling. I've stayed off cycle for at least however long I was previously on cycle with all 3 of these cycles. The main issue is that I did not properly recover from the 2nd (sust and deca) and I'm still struggling.

I will try my best to grind it out mentally throughout this pct, eat great, not over train, and then get bloods shortly after.
 
Have you ever checked your DHT?

I have not. It was not included in my last blood test. I just checked and noticed it would be an additional $123 to add it in the test.... god damn.

Can you tell me more about DHT, how my cycles may have altered it, and what exactly it does to me when its altered? I feel DHT is one of the things I need more info on.
 
If it's hormone related, this is where I'd look next. :)

How exactly does DHT get altered and why would my DHT be doing this? It's been almost a year straight that I've been having issues. And How would I reverse it? I never really hear people talk about DHT when getting bloods. I need more knowledge on it
