**shimbashi** · 07-10-2014, 03:30 AM

Hi all. .on pct week 3 nolva/clomid at 20mg/35mg daily.
First week pct was great sex drive and erections good.
Thought I was lucky but the last week has been disastrous...failed in bedroom...tried V and still no good.
Im tempted to go back on to avoid the embarrassment but know I should not. .hoping I will pull through ok.
age 41
Cycle was test prop 100mg eod. 11 weeks.
precycle total testosterone was 11 (normal 8-30)
Midcycle was 37.
Any input would be appreciated.

People will say your PCT is lacking. Typically its 100mg of clomid and 40mg of nolva. I think if you're stuff is legit then its a fine dose.

It could be the serms them selves causing your libido issues. Even if they have restored your test levels. Its usually a combination of things though, including stressing about your libido. I did a pct where everyday id look at porn and try and jerk off to see if I recovered. I was so worried about recovering and look at so much porn that even if I didnt run any cycle ever id probably not be able to get a boner.

Finnish your pct, get blood work and dont think about it to much.

Thanks for that ..can you expand on how the pct may be causing libido issues? Thanks
Oh and I did 40mg and 100mg the first week

It could very well be the serms. They exert estrogenic effects to a degreee and your hormones are really in a state of flux right now. I know it is difficult not to get all worked up but rest assured it will pass. The more you mull and think about it, the worse it will be.

When pct is over wait about 8 weeks and get full BW done. If your test was that low pre cycle you need to find the root cause and fix it if possible. If not, it's time to consider HRT.

Example of BW is in the Finding A Doc Sticky thread in the HRT Forum.
