first cycle test question.....

[greensuperbee]

I started a test enanthate cycle approx. 9 weeks ago. My first 2 weeks I done 1 cc and then went up to 2 cc after that. The first couple of weeks my sex drive was very high (hard anytime) but after that it dropped way off and started having trouble with erections. Is this normal? I would have guessed that sex drive would have been high the whole amount of time I was on the test. At first I questioned the gear but I have gained 20 lbs in just a couple of months, I get bad acne on my shoulders and bad nights sweats but not EVERY night so kinda thinking the stuffs legit. Would an estrogen blocker make any difference? I'm not real familiar with this stuff yet but been doing a TON of research trying to find out whats going on but can't seem to find any answers. Any help would be appreciated.

you didn't research before you cycled?

You had no AI, aromatase inhibitor. otherwords estrogen blocker. Answer to your question on erections more than likely..

you're not familiar with this stuff but did allot of research! which is it?! like noted above you didn't searched enough.

^^^this is very likely what's happening. Your estrogen is possibly sky high. Not only will it impair your sex drive and prevent erections, you are increasing your risk for clotting disorders, cardiac problems and even prostate changes that may range from uncomfortable to severe - too name only a few!!!!!

The time to research is NOT when you are having problems. You are injecting HORMONES! These control a range of functions including, but not limited to sleep, appetite, cognition, sex drive, digestion, immunity, mood, growth, metabolism, and more.

Please spend a lot more time reading before you consider cycling any further or running additional cycles. You can't naively change your hormonal levels and expect things to be ok.

Exactly. So many people using the "did a lot of research" cliche and yet the questions they ask clearly indicate they have not.

Too bad many have to learn the hard way and risk their health.

BTW.....20lbs....most of that is water.

^^^ I agree, mostly water.

[greensuperbee]

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'm going to get arimadex tomorrow and start with .05 mg/ every other day. I figured a lot of the weight gain was water retention,,, just using the fact that I gained that much weight as a hint that my gear must be good.

Research = reading, not listening to your gym buddy who is telling you what to inject!

Thanks

How long are you planning to run this cycle? Did your research cover pct?

[greensuperbee]

Its a 12 week cycle,,, 2 weeks off,,, then start pct. I have nolvadex for pct. Should I still take the AI if theres only a couple weeks left of the cycle?

[Muscleduke]

Yes on the AI.

PCT: Clomid 75/50/50/50 Nolvadex 40/20/20/20

Nolvadex on its own won't do you much good, get the clomid as well man better chance of recovery.
