    I have pretty low libido for several months now. No erectile dysfuntion but not a lot of interest in sex. Maybe once a week. Strength has stayed pretty good but gains may be a little slow. Its hard to tell if that is from cutting. Need some direction on what course of action would help. Another pct? HCG ? Go straight to an endocronologist?

    Bloodwork would shed some light. My low libido has to be related to low free test and LH levels but I would not have known that without bloodwork. Now I need help figuring out how to correct it

    I'm hoping to avoid trt but may end up cruising and blasting if I can't sort things out.

    Your FSH is also in ratio with your LH. Your over all test is pretty normal but your free is low
    testosterone , total 555 ng/dl [241-827].

    So basically your testicles have atrophied. August was a long time ago.

    So exactly what is your goal here? Be detailed.

    I will also bet ACTH is high....

    Cholesterol is off also.

    Hummmm

    My goal is to take a course of action to raise free Test, LH and to aleviate the libido and slow gain issue. I'm looking for an option that does not include trt if possible. Would another pct address this? And if so should it incorporate hcg in any way(I've never used)? What should pct look like keeping in mind I am not comming out of a recent cycle and wouldn't think estrogen would need to reduced with an ai unless hcg is used? Another course of chlomid and novadex?

    Cholesterol is trending in the right direction. I'm certian the oral winny backload on my last cycle destroyed it. I probably won't use it again. This is whAt it looked like in oct. 09 after pct.

    Look at post #120 on this thread. Pretty much predicted exactly what is happening to you 35+ crowd.

    You got questions ask away.
