erection probs after cycle

**sade80** · 07-15-2010, 06:49 AM

I've been suffering erection problems since coming off cycle! I've had blood tests and everything has come back normal apart from progesterone which is elevated. Can high progesterone cause erection problems?

What cycle was it? What PCT?

Just asking the inevitable as I am interested in prog's affect on ed.

Cycle was test 500mg deca 400mg, pct was 20mg nolvadex for a month! How do I lower progestrone?

Progesterone is a precursor to tetosterone.. I dont believe its your problem..

Your serum levels for test may be fine but your receptors may have downregulated from the cycle...

i def. believe it is ur problem. that will kill ur dick mate.

get some caber/bromo and you will be fine.

another reason research is key before you start a cycle.

All the studies and tests i am finding are saying progesterone helps with ED...

There may be hormone issues at play, but you should at least consider that psychology plays a role in ED as well. You go to perform and can't. You get frustrated and depressed. The next time you are under pressure to perform, and don't. More frustration, more depression, more performance anxiety. It's a vicious cycle. Part of it may also be subconscious feelings of being less-than what you were while on cycle. Subconsciously you don't feel like a proper man, and as men how we feel about our manhood directly affects our manhood, so to speak. I would suggest possibly speaking to a therapist. Having an understanding and patient partner is also a must. I would try things other than ED drugs, and exhaust all those avenues before taking anything like that. Drugs always have side affects, dependency issues (either physical or psychological), etc. America is very much a drug society, always looking for the quick fix, and never really looking at the downside. Good luck!

I had this happen to me after my cyclce of Enanthate . My PCT was fairly poor dosed. What was your PCT? Get some Tribulus extract, its faily cheap and should aid in helping you get it up. Its all natural herb, that will aid in your libido. Dont worry you will get it back...

Also TIMES 2 what TKO said...very true...mind set...

Try running Test enanthate alone! I had this problem too when i 'v combined test with Deca . And if u really can't get it up, and you need to perform ..one solution would be VIagra, or a milder for of it Cialis

I personally don't use it cuz i rather wait untill my libido comes back to normal

Do these lower progesterone aswell or just prolactin? I've ordered them anyway, I'm also going to do 100mg clomid for a month or two.

Did they test your test/estrogen ratio......could have too high estrogen level

Too high estrogen can cause ED

**sade80** · 07-27-2010, 06:32 PM

Estrogen was fine. Progesterone was 5.6, range is 0.7 - 4.3

Progesterone is your problem. Period.

High progesterone levels stimulate your pituitary to release prolactin - prolactin suppresses your sex drive and causes erectile dysfunction issues. Prolactin is secreted in large amounts after you have an orgasm, which is the reason for the refractory (AKA downtime) period after you orgasm.

You must have used either tren or deca previously in your cycle. Both ARE progestins and cause the body to secrete large amounts of prolactin. This is why you should use cabergoline or bromocriptine while on cycle when using any 19-nor steroids such as tren or deca.

Get yourself some bromocriptine or cabergoline and it should clear your problem up immediately.
