No Libido Post PCT -Blood Work Attached

Hi Guys

I’m about three months post PCT from an 8-week Test/Tren run. Following the PCT (Clomid/Nolva) I had decent libido but the past month, it has nearly been non-existent….to the point that 20mg of Cialis (prescription strength) does nothing. I just had updated bloods ran by my doctor. Below are the results. Can someone please comment/provide guidance?

Your DHEA is 2x higher than the range. LH and FSH low. Perhaps the PCT was bunk?

You can try power pct...

Your LH is very low. It all starts there. If BW doesn't show improvement in a month or so I'd run another pct. If the previous serms were from a ugl then find another for the next run.

All that said, do you know where your LH/ FSH levels normally run?

Hi Kelkel! I ve learned a lot from your writes.. So first of all thanks for it. You have linked a doctor documentary and there stated hcg every other day for 3 month. Dose about 3000iu. How do you think about? I do it my pct now its my 4th week.
1-15 eod 2500iu
16-24 everyday 100mg Clomid + 40mg tamoxifen
25-32 everyday 50mg Clomid +30mg tamoxifen
32- everyday 20mg tamoxifen

Everyday i eat about 3000mg Vitamin D and i use other vitamins too...
Ive in the third period now and i feel like shit and no libido.... ive lost many of my gains. What do you recommend for me wait till the pct end then BW? I think it will not better... I saw one guy used clomid on TRT and he got attractive numbers... Thanks for the help.

SHBG looks a little high to me. Also vitamin D looks low. What's the range for those?

LH is low as previously noted, but your Total T is still at 589 which is not bad at all. Without a range on free T it is tough to tell how this actually is. You seem to be basing everything on your libido which you really shouldn't do. With cycling comes risks and when we alter our hormone levels our libido can both rise and fall. It can take time to come back to normal, but odds are it will. Try not to focus on it. If it works when you need it to then you're good.

I do not feel you need any version of a power pct as noted above. If anything just add in one of the serms for a handful of weeks and see how it goes. I'd opt for Nolva in this case due to less sides. Maybe 40 / 20 / 20 / 20 (per day/week) and see how you do. Zero reason to add in large doses of HCG which is suppressive to LH output when your testicals are already functioning.

Yes, there is always risk..i have friends who didnt do pct and he recovered. How can possible?? These details above were not my... I will publish my 6 weeks later.thanks for the respond

Of course people can recover without pct. It just takes much longer. The human body is an amazing thing and the hpta is quite resilient.
