    Question libido probs on striaght test??

    hey guys just wonder whats up with the lack of libido and quality hard-ons since ive started my test only (500mg/wk) 3 weeks ago? Ive heard stories from deca etc etc but was under the impression that test was "suppose" to gimme super boners frequently. LMAO.

    but yea not getting that, instead finding myself goin hard,soft,hard,soft..... during my cardio workout with the girlfriend.

    any perticular reason? happen to anyone else? this goin to pick up sometime soon?

    havent noticed any ball shrinkage yet or any other side, growwth is goin good but that probably a little early from test. my guess is calorie and workout schedule.

    lol i know alot of questions in there but do your best.. thx

    Bro anytime your using test your messing with your hormone balance. It's a side effect. Some people's libido goes through the rough others well...not so much. My advised, Cialis.

    are you using an AI?

    have you checked your blood pressure lately?

    How confident are you in your gear?

    whats your cycle look like?

    Unfortunatly no I'm am not using an AI. Blood pressure is good. 133/78 just got checked last week. And my cycle as mentioned is just straight test400, 500mg/wk (250 tues morn, 250 fri night) and obviously a PCT planned for afterwards.

    Is there a chance it will pick up as its still early in my cycle? Or should I be noticing an increase already being 3 weeks in?

    You shouldnt be getting libido issues while on a test cycle really unless your estrogen is out of balance, correct it with an AI and see how you go or get Blood work done for sure.

    Ok thx, AI recommendations? Something I can't start taking around week 5 or 6 as it will probably take me a couple weeks to get.

    Thx again

    Exactly! Only reason libido sucks on test only is cus estro is too high, period! Many ways to go about it. You can try and AI like arimidex at .5mg eod, aromasin at 12.5mg eod, or a SERM like nolva at 20mg eod. Reason i say eod at these doses is cus ur only using em to help with estro, no gyno symptoms. Oh, only pick one of the above bro, just given ya ur choices.

    estro too high or too low will cause issues. as well as fluctuations due to unstable blood levels. i would try implementing adex at .25mg EOD or some proviron if it does not get any better

    Ok I have nolvadex (liquid tamox) on hand and I should have enough for about 7-10 days before I need the remaining for a full PCT. Would that be enough to notice if it is makin a difference, cause if so ill get another bottle.

    And no, I have no gyno signs/symptoms so far.

    if ur only 3 weeks in give it another 2 weeks, i didnt notice my libido rise until early fifth week of my cycle

    but agree with above, could be estrogen issue aswell

    also get a blood check done, and get ur test levels checked

    u could easily have fake gear, not at all un comman

    if ur test levels come out high then ur all sweet, if they come out low guess what? lol

    I have very high confidence that my gear is not fake for 2 main reasons. My source is actually a buddy who's been using for years and its the same stuff and 2. I know its coming straight from a doctor.

    Im having the same problem atm also. Just started week 3 on the same cycle. Will sort of impact will Nolva @ 20mg EOD have on gains?

    Will this also reduce the redness of my face and chest?

    nolva will do nothing to the estro in your body except not allowing it to bond to breast tissue. you don't need a serm you need an AI like arimidex or aromison

    You are right but SERM can also help.. But it is very weak..

    Do blood work

    Or try to add some AI like arimidex at dose 0,25mg / EOD

    If your problem is not in high estradiol I dont know what your problem is.

    Armidex if estrogen related or if u are on for a long time shbg goes up. Proviron may be a good all around solution . I personally love it.

    I am using Testosterone, teston-B injection 400mg/mL
    Each mL contains:
    175mg test cyp,
    175mg test enan,
    50mg test prop.


    Can I ask why u ask? Does this formula have something to do with it?

    SHBG depends on ESTROGEN/ANDROGENS ratio...


    According my research and blood works which I did it looks that this is main factor.

    Correct me if I am wrong please.

    So I suggest If you are taking 400MG/week and your ESTROGENS are OK your SHBG should be very low... It doesnt depend on lenght of using testosterone...

    Yes it kind of does. Anytime you are running anything with multiple compounds in it, it leaves your blood levels unstable at some points.

    I ran T-400, which is 200mg of Test Enenthate and 200mg of Test Decanoate, and almost like Sustanon, I had jumping libido from feeling "normal" to "I want to fvck the next thing that moves". I find with Enenthate alone, you feel a little more stable.

    Gains wise however, running something with multiple compounds can actually be more efficient at times. It's all about what works for you and how you react to certain compounds.

    I'm young, but old schooled, if I run multiple compounds, I'm gonna run it manually so I can monitor what and how much of each I actually put into my body. I prefer doing it that way. I'm Bipolar, so I gotta know every modification or change that happens, otherwise stabilizing myself becomes a major issue.

    I'm not takin 400/wk. I'm takin 500mg/wk. Or test that CONTAINS 400mg PER mL.



    I guess I'm goin to do as mentioned above and wait another couple weeks to see if things stabilize. In the meantime ill look for an AI and take it if need be this cycle, or if things are all good by then ill hold on to it and use it from the biginning on my next cycle.

    Curious about getting bloodwork done though....? how do u go about getting that done in Canada? I imagine just goin to a doctor and askin randomly for bloodwork tests is a little sketchy. How does on go about doin that?

    PROVIRON is a great addition for libido while using testosterone or any cycle for that matter.

    Im having a similar problem at week 10 of cyp only. JUst got my liquidex today, and Im hoping that 0.25 EOD will help straighten me out. I still have sex drive, but my hard ons come and go during sex, and its pissing me off.
