How long did you do the cycle for?
When you go for a blood work, the doctor should test levels for Total testosterone, Free Testosterone, LH, and FSH
It's unlikely they'll bother with Estrogen until after these results come in, and the Free test, LH and FSH are out.
I don't know how old you are, so it's hard to say whether you are experiencing the onset of andropause, but I do not believe Nolvadex is sufficient alone as a PCT. Nolvadex blocks Estrogen, to help prevent Gyno. Clomid and HCG are what are used for maintaining endogenous testosterone production. On the other hand, too low an Estrogen level can also affect libido.
Going from what you've written, it is possible that you may have already have had a low T level before your cycle, then, without the use of HCG or Clomid, post cycle your natty test is even lower. Since then, you may have experienced the onset of hypogonadism, and are now feeling the symptoms beginning such as lower libido, as well as things like fatigue, some lethargy, some aches...and so on...this is how it progresses.
I hope with the results of your blood work, you may be able to increase your natty test by a regimen of HCG for a few months, otherwise, if it is low T, and HCG will not work, or depending on your age (ie, late 30's /40's) the doctor may prescribe ongoing TRT.
supplements are always an option, but if andropause causing hypogonadism, or ASIH (Anabolic Steroid Induced Hypogonadism) is the cause, then in reality HCG, or long term TRT may be the eventual viable treatment.
Other thing is, it could be diet, or infection, being the cause. Or another ailment such as circulation, blood pressure, and so on.
You're doing the right thing going for blood work first. If that's all ok, then get the doc to check for another medical reason before supplements, this could hide something that needs treating.
Good luck
