no sex drive

[caira1074]

I started hcg inj about 3 weeks ago 250iu3 times a week, and since then no sex drive gone and it sucks. Considering stopping. My protocol is 80 mg test cyp twice a week, sunday am and wed pm, hcg mon, wed, fri. Peg 50mg and dhea 50mg every day, also 5mg Cialis twice a day and .25 arimidex twice a week, no sex drive and lots of anxiety, do I need to lower hcg and dhea. cant get blood work to expensive unless someone knows of a cheaper place

There are much more knowledgeable folks than myself, but here's my two cents.

My hunch is that your estradiol levels are probably too high even with the Arimidex as that's a pretty low dose especially to 160 mg test every week. That said, I wouldn't play around with any of this stuff if you can't get blood work. You are flying blind.

HCG is well known for enhancing libido not suppression.

Low libido and anxiety would suspect elevated E2 even with .5 mg of your AI each week...it may not be enough.

You need blood work and even though you can't afford it you need it.

Are you under a Doctor's care?

thanks for the response guys. Yes iam under a dr care, but we only do labs every 6 months, and that is when I had insurance. Currently I do not have insurance do to job change, I was not taking hcg until recently, 3 weeks ago, I had to go it myself cause my dr wont do hcg. Bloodwork is out of the question so I will assume that it is high how much arimedex should I take, not impressed so far with hcg,

another question when I read the sticky I don't understand if I change to 1 a week test inj what days do you inject hcg

[jomamma007]

Thats irrelevant, stick to same schedule regardless of test injection frequency.

I am willing to bet the HCG has increased endogenous production increasing your total Testosterone serum levels even higher than just the Testosterone alone.

Your weekly total for Testosterone is 160 mg (which is a bit much) and now HCG at 250 iu three times a week with just .25 mg of the AI twice weekly.

I suspect elevated E2.

Do you have any other symptoms of elevated E2 (if you don't know read the sticky on Estradiol).
