HGH and libido

[Inquisitor]

First, let me tell you a little about my history of usage.

I was told by a friend about HGH and it's ability for recovery, skin, etc. I am 52 yrs. old and it was really hard for me, working out and not seeing the same results from when I was younger. Let me say, at this point, that my libido has always been very high. Even at 52, it was on my mind all the time.

Well, I decided to start taking small amounts (1 iu a day). I built to 2 iu per day and now 3 iu's per day. I do the typical 5 days on and 2 off. I noticed on day 2 or 3 of use, that I didn't have that pressing drive when I looked at a woman that would normally get my full attention and occupy my thoughts. The drive has diminished quite a lot. I did 3 months of Somatropin HGH and my libido was extremely low the whole time. After the 3 months, I took about 3 weeks off, as per a routine I researched. I noticed a period (1st wk) where my libido bounced back during the time off, and then it crashed again for the 2nd and 3rd wks.

I am back on another cycle at 3 iu's per day (once in the morning). I am considering discontinuing the HGH if "loss of libido" is the tradeoff. What I'd really like to know is if there is anything I should be doing to counteract this loss of libido. Also, if I quit taking it, is there something I can take to get my libido back on track and as strong as it was before?

Before taking this, I was told that if I took it I risked the chance that my pituitary gland would quit producing HGH on it's own. Quite honestly, I don't know enough about the biochemistry that occurs to understand what causes my loss of libido and what to do to repair it. I sincerely hope that someone here can give me good advice to go forward. If you need any more info to help me, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.

Sounds like you may have some bad stuff, someone once told me that over half of the stuff sold on the street is fake, God knows what it really is.
I would get some blood work done and have your hormones checked, pituitary, thyroid, test, and estro. As far as I know hgh is supposed to have the oppisite effect.
Good luck.

Wonder if it contains an AI. That would crush your libido in short order as estrogen drops very low. Some other have talked about gh being faked with AI.

[Xtralarg]

HGH should not supress your libido, you should feel on topof the world. Poss AI like above post said.

I bet of you come off it you will have a estro rebound and all the crap that comes with it.

[gymfu]

Makes sence. No estrogen = no libido.
Maybe if he tapers down off of it or gets a SERM drug he can avoid the rebound???????

[Inquisitor]

Is that (SERM) what you gents would advise ? I have about 80 iu's left of this yellow cap (10 iu per bottle) and I'm just thinking about discontinuing it. Do you all think that SERM is the way to go after I quit this stuff?

[gymfu]

Don't discontinue untill you have a plan on how to properly handle the rebound. The AI idea makes perfect since. I'll bet thats what you have. Get some other input but I would get some nolvadex and an weaker AI like airmadex or stane.

Not really sure on how to go about this.

Try doing a new post with "fake hgh help" as the title and I'm sure you can get a good plan put together. Be carefull where you get your stuff.

It’s hard to advise you on what to do when we don’t even know what you have been taking. I would advise you to go to your doctor with a vial and tell him what you have told us, he will probably get it tested and advise you of its contents then you make an educated decision on how best to remedy your problem.

Gentlemen,

First, let me apologize for taking so long in between posts. I was involved in family activities this weekend. Now, onto the subject. Is it possible that I could send a PM to one of you and divulge the information on this stuff, or is mentioning that against board policies? If so, I'm learning and won't do it again. But, if I can divulge the info via a Personal Message, then please give me the ok and I'll send it.

I appreciate the advice thus far. I don't take HGH on the weekends (5 on - 2 days off), and I will resume it tomorrow (Monday thru Friday). I have some Nolvadex on hand, but I would need to know how much to take. The libido crashes when I take the HGH, so it would be wierd taking the nolva while on this stuff. If it's fake, then I like the idea of setting up a program to discontinue it's use and preserve my "libido". Thanks again, gentlemen.

[gymfu]

Well just getting off of a powerfull AI will cause estrogen to skyrocket, causing some nasty sides. I would start another post and ask for some help, but I already gave you my idea. I'm not an expert though.

[Spartans09]

As xtralarge mentioned it is all guesswork unless we know what's contained in the bottle. That being said, if it is an AI then I would discontinue and start a 3 week regimen of nolvadex at 20mg/day. I would then absolutely get a full blood work-up to see where I was at.

[Inquisitor]

I can tell you that this stuff has labels. It has a serial number also. I am not sure what I can and can't put on this board, so I won't type any of the info here, but isn't there a site where I can input the number and get confirmation of authenticity? I surely appreciate all of you help. I will surely heed your advice, gymfu. Thanks to all of you. You're a great asset to have around.

[Spartans09]

Unfortunately, the criminals have gotten smart and will also fake the checking of serial numbers also. There is no easy answer.

[gymfu]

Hey there is a thread going in the AAS section of this board about letro PCT. You might want to check it out.
But as stated above its all guess work as to what you have???????

[Inquisitor]

Well, I'm going check it out right now because this is getting serious. My wrists are going limp and I started to wiggle my hips when I walk. LOL !

Nah, it'll never get to that point. But I thought is was something funny to make y'all laugh. Thanks, gents.

[Inquisitor]

One last question. If it is "authentic" HGH, what should I take when I decide to get off of it ? Anyone know?

BTW,... after reading more about it, I think this is authentic. Not completely certain, but I am pretty sure it is.

OP, sorry to read this.
Good Luck

HGH shouldn't cause loss of libido. Are you taking any other medication with HGH?

[Inquisitor]

No, I'm not taking any other medication. I'm not sure what caused it, except for the fact that my dosages were very small in the beginning. But, my question now is,....

Do I need to take anything when I quit HGH ? Is there any PCT to apply ?

Some people take ghrp2 or ghrp6, personally I have never taken anything and have always been fine.
