    600mg EW Testosterone CypionateCycle and libido effects?

    600mg EW Testosterone Cycle Cypionate libido?

    Please skip to bold if you don't want to read my wall of text on background info.

    Hi All,

    Little background history, Age 30, been using various AAS for a number of years. Mostly in the 100-300mg range.

    5’9”
    200 pounds
    15% bodyfat

    BP: 140s/80s (mildly high, always but no major concern so long as it does not go higher than that)

    Currently am on TRT, for primary hypogonadism. Testicular injury, resulting in test levels that will not go above the lower 1/3rd of range on their own, LH and FSH ends up being 3x most lab ranges top end when not on anything, or after a PCT, so I have been cruising on doses ranging from 100mg EW to 300 varing the dose as works best for libido, strength, and whatever current goals are.

    Also take 0.25mg of Anastrozole E3D when on 100mg EW, and when getting closer to 300mg 0.25 EOD.

    Have blood work done regularly, and T is in upper range, sometimes a little over, but my Urologist is not to concerned if I’m over slightly. He believes in higher dose TRT, and keeping E2 levels between 20-50 on a 0-70 range.

    So, I’ve ran into an issue with low sex drive recently, and it seems the only way to cure it is to go off of everything for a while, 30-60 days, running clomid and nolva for a PCT. Then when I go back on even, 100mg, for a while my libido is great, then well sowly the cheese slides off the cracker.

    No matter what protocol, and I’ve tried a lot, after some time of any consistent protocol, my sex drive and erection strength goes down.

    After a while I end up using PDE-5 lowering drugs and so forth, and eventually at 300mg EW of test, even with cialis, and E2 between 30-40 (good) still just not getting much in the mood and still weak erections.

    Which I attribute to the libido more so than blood flow from my penis, hence why PDE-5 lowering drugs only do so much.

    So, now its generally the time I would take a “holiday” from the TRT, go back to medium low levels, rinse and repeat.

    Well I recently got the fire burning to gain some muscle, and get back into shape, and honestly, if it were not for the lower sex drive, would prefer to stay on or even go up in dose.

    So I’m thinking running an actual cycle dose before taking a holiday from the test all together. Thinking maybe 600mg EW might just give my libido the kick in the ass it needs. I'd be on about 0.25mg EOD of the Arimidex each day too.

    If it were to work, possibly next time I go back on increasing my dose every 2 weeks, from 100mg EW for the first 2, then to 160,= for 2 weeks and so on until I’m up to 600mg for several weeks, then off rinse and repeat.

    I’ve heard conflicting things on high doses of testosterone killing sex drive, but most of the guys I know who just run 600mg EW test cycles tend to have sex drive through the roof. Others say 600mg is far too much and kills sex drive like Deca , and I'm finding that hard to believe.

    Anyone here thinking 600mg EW for a cycle dose, no more than 12 weeks, might give me good libido results (not to mention size and strength) until I take that vacation from the test all together?

    I know this thread is old and as dead as it could be but, I tripped over it so I'm sure others will.

    One this I'd like to point out is..

    Test isn't always the compound that brings low libido. As a matter of fact, I can bet that this man above probably had too low of estrogen levels. Now, I know that many people may say that high estrogen is bad. And, I would agree HIGH estrogen is bad but, completely destroying all traces of estrogen will kill your libido, can cause depression, and many other things that are commonly linked to low test.

    So before you conclude that upping test is the answer, think about all the other things that happen in your body when you are on TRT or a higher dosed cycle.

    Not trying to point fingers or call anyone out for it but, I do want people to understand that crashing estrogen is also a bad thing.

    Yours truly,
    LargeT
