Low libido, blood results

[OneMo]

I am 24, 6'1 and weigh ~217. I'm finishing up week 6 of my 500mg test e cycle and my libido seems to be fairly low. Around weeks 3 and 4 it went up like crazy but at week 5 i noticed a significant drop. This is my first cycle and i have had some thinning of the hair and mild acne but not very much bloat. Around week 4-5 i noticed some aggression but that seems to have subsided along with the increase in libido.

I recentley had a physical and just picked up my blood results today but i am not sure what i should be looking at. Is the low libido something i should be worried about? I also have noticed i am drained after my workouts lately.

Are you running an AI? Sounds like high estrogen. Post your BW with ranges so we can take a look and give you a better opinion. Also, is this BW during your cycle or after? If after, did you run a PCT? If so, what?

Not running AI but do have some on hand. BW was collected on the 24th and i got it back today which was during my cycle. I do plan to at least go 10 weeks, 12 depending on how things go.

Really need to see your E2 sensitive assay if you got it done. High and/or low E will cause libido issues. I'm betting on high E. Get it tested asap. You don't always have nipple issues to indicate high E and problems from it. You don't need to fast for an estrogen test. Just make sure it is a sensitive assay. If you use labcorp I can give you the codes so they don't screw it up.

I don't see serum/free/bio-available test. Nothing else is really jumping out at me as off the charts but ranges are not there on everything. CRP is high but could just be that snapshot in time. It's just an inflamation marker in the body. Infection, illness or arthritis or maybe a rough day. Vit D is low. Start supplementing as there are receptors for it in every cell in the body and it will also lower shbg levels which will allow more free T to be available for use.

It wasn't done through labcorp so i assume they didn't do the E2 sensitive assay, i'll call and check tomorrow. I do have crohns so that explains the inflamation. I'll start some AI tomorrow and if they don't have the blood results i need i will get those done asap. I'm sure you are right that it is high estro i just wanted to see if i could get specifics with the blood results. thanks for the help kelkel, I will keep this updated.

Start low with your AI if you go that route, especially if it's pre-BW. Far too easy to crash your E. Go slow and adjust with BW. Read this:
