Is my A.I killing my libido??

[AsEpSiS]

I'm 33, 5'6", 185, 14ish% bf, done 4 successful test E cycles. My past PCT has been clomid 100 100 50 50 nolva 40 40 20 20.

I'm 1.5 weeks into my test E cycle consisting of 300mg(I enjoy the low dose) split into 2 shots/week. I'm shooting 250iu HCG the day before each test injection and take .25mg arimidex the day after each shot.

So far, it seems like my libido actually went down since I've started the gear. I can still get wood, but it kinda seems like I'm not as interested in sex as much as I was before the cycle started. I really don;t have any interest in porn, jacking off, or doing my chick. Before I started pinning 1.5 weeks ago....I was fully engaged in all of the previously mentioned activites...hmmm

This is kinda odd....previously, during other cycles, my sex drive was through the roof....although, not instantly. In the past, I've NEVER used HCG or an A.I. while on cycle, and never had libido issuse....until PCT of course.

The only thing thats got me scratching my head is wondering if it's still too early in my cycle to get libido increase as my hormones are still balencing??

What do yall think??

By the way, I did get premilinary bloodwork. All was good to go.

It's still early to start noticing libido increases when you're using a long ester like E. At the very least give it like 3 weeks.

I think you might be over thinking this and it could be all in your head. You're taking .25mg adex 2x a week, that's not enough to lower your libido. Unless you are measuring the dosages wrong?

First off, its so nice to see someone who can still enjoy a low dose test cycle... good on ya.

As for the libido, it a tough call. I wouldnt have even bothered with the AI at this point, doubt it would be doing any good until the test hits full concentration in the blood (at least 3 weeks)... maybe drop the A-dex and see if it helps

Are you training more? Stressed out with work? Signs of lethargy or test flu?

[AsEpSiS]

I did have test flu for sure after the first two shots...i felt like Shit. Thats 100% normal for me to get test flu, it happens every time. Lol!

The day after my third shot, i didn't seem to have any test flu symptoms, and feel fine now.

Ya know....i could be over thinking a little bit too...although I'm trying not to. I'm not anymore stressed out than normal. I'm just kinda wondering why i'd be LESS horny.

I'm not measuring my a.i. Incorrectly. They are 1mg prescription tabs that i cut into 1/4.

Y'all think i should drop the A.I. for a bit?

general rule of thumb is if you are not seeing signs of ERSE, no point running an AI

True, there are people lucky enough not to need an AI especially running only 300mg week. Then there are people like me who still have not found the sweet spot but need to run an AI even on HRT 150mg week.

people are so different from one to another. Thats why I never understand why people will just take advise from anyone without their own learning curve. I found out that I never have to run an AI with the kind of cycling routines I do... I would never advocate this, but constant bloodwork shows me its not really needed. You're damn right I keep it on hand though, I dont want to find out the hard way I need it and have to source it when its too late

Your AI is already at a real low dose. I think I would give a little more time before worrying too much.

On my first test e cycle my labido was pretty high. I did 500mg a week. Liquid stane at 12.5mg eod. By week 4 my labido crashed. Dropped the ai completely and labido was back within about a week. I then used it at lower dose. Now on my 2nd cycle using ai lower. Havent really had any labido increase at all. Currently in week 3 and Im dropping the ai again until I start feeling the test kick in.

Been on HRT for a few years. Test E, HCG, and an AI. My T levels were off the charts when I started. Total T was 117. Libido was great. Once on the HRT libido dropped. Dosent make sense. Everyone obviously are different. My experience with HRT is my over all well being really didnt get better. Only thing that actually happened is my strength went thru thre roof. Go figure. Good luck.

Personally, i would increase your test. This is your 5th cycle at low dose. Good for you for using AAS wisely btw. But i honestly think now is as good a time as any to increase your does to 500mg/wk. I'll bet you a nickel that your libido comes back 10 fold, AND your gains will increase accordingly. Its a win win bro.

Your serum levels are already elevated, you just need to give them a bump. Try 500mg/wk for 4 wks and see for yourself.

(if you take my advice, don't forget that your AI may have to increase as well - monitor closely)

make yourself watch some porn if your ready to go then it probably in your head
