Testim 1% and tribulus/6 oxo

**Whoady** · 12-31-2011, 11:02 AM

Im 25, started lifting like 8 years ago. 210 lbs 11% bf.

I had a friend give me a sample pack of testim-1% testosterone gel with 7 50 mg test tubes. I also had a bottle of androbolix 300 natty test booster with anti-e 6-oxo. I wanted to try and take half a tube (25mg) of testim-1% on lifting days before the gym. I also took the androbolix 300 on those days. Worked out like 5 days a week. So now im on vaca back home with my girl and she wants to have sex and i have no sex drive at all. I had a sex drive the first few days i was here but now, nothing. My balls didnt shrink or anything. I just dont have a libido, even to look at p0rn. My gf is good looking. You think that the testim at such a low dose could have possibly done any damage? Also my energy levels are way down. I wake up tired as hell. Since ive been here home my diet and sleep has been shit. My gf keeps me up till 3the am and i eat not what i would normally eat. What do you think?

Sounds like you are supressed and 'shut down' for sure.
Did you follow a PCT when you stopped use?

If he was shut down, he would hav testicular atrophy, he sed he doesnt. I'm gona chalk this 1 up 2 staying up til 3 am & poor diet. Ur body needs proper nutrition & sufficient rest / recovery time 2 function properly.

Thanks for the reassurance bear. I just need to get some rest and see how i feel then. I was on a strict schedule before vaca and now not being on one kinda sucks. Need to lift need to sleep.

I'm no Doc. there may very well b something wrong with u, But I don't think its HPTA suppression. Good luck.

OP, so you TOOK the Testim? How much? How often and How long? The tribulus you took wouldn't do anything to you.

I took it for about two weeks. It really did give me more strength. I felt more energized. I think i should be good to go.

The gel is a testosterone repla***ent. Meaning you're not going to get cycle doses from it. That strength and energy you noticed, was probably just in your head. You weren't doing doses high enough to give you any benefit unless you were already deficient. And when your introducing androgens in to your body, you stop making testosterone naturally. How shut down you are? I don't know and you'd need bloodwork to tell you.

So you took 10 doses of TRT gel over the course of two weeks. You might want to look in to Nolvadex to help you recover. Since you were taking such a low dose and for a short time period, I don't know exactly how you'd dose it or how long you'd take it (if it's even necessary). I think you're probably best off asking somebody like Swift what he thinks.
