You take steroids. You are injecting hormones into your body. This causes your body to stop producing them naturally. When you stop injecting the steroids, it takes awhile for your body to start producing naturally again. You are 'shut down.' During this period, you experience lethargy, lack of appetite, cravings for carbs, possible depression, sexual issues, etc. This is when you take the Clomid and Nolvadex, they should help your body kickstart production of it's own hormones. Depending on how badly you were shut down, you could recover in a few weeks, a few months, or never fully. Since it was your first cycle, and assuming you were older than 24, I'd assume you will come back by the end of your PCT, which should be 4-6 weeks, but everyone is different.
The only compounding issue is the different esters in the different substances you used. What happens is that the steroid is suspended in an oil, and it takes time to filter into your system. Because of this, you will have the steroid residual in your body for a period of time even after your last injection. If you are experiencing difficulty maintaining erection, I would guess you are low... but considering the fact that you were using Sust, which has one ester in particular that lasts a very long time, you are not ready for PCT quite yet. Typically, you need to wait 3 weeks from last injection of Sust to begin PCT. So wait another week.
All of that said, here is my recommendation...
Go to Ar-R at the top right of the page. Order Clomid and Tamox.
3 weeks after your last injection of Sustanon, do the following-->
Clomid weeks 1-2, 100mg/ day, weeks 3-4 50 mg/day
Tamox weeks 1-2, 40 mg/day, weeks 3-4 20 mg/day
If you are concerned about your inability to maintain an erection while your body recovers, you can also order Liquid Cialis from Ar-R. It works very well.
After your PCT, go get bloodwork done. See if your Testosterone is back to normal. A few months down the road, get it checked again to make sure you haven't rebounded.
Best of luck to you.
