Loss of libido - still on cycle

[Dannie]

Here is my cycle layout:

1 Sust 1g/week (front load)
2-4 Sust 500mg
5-6 Sust 750mg
7-9 Sust 900mg + NPP 300mg
10-11 Sust 1.1g + NPP 350mg
12 Sust 1.3g + NPP 350mg
13-14 NPP 350mg, SuperDMZ 2 caps/ day
15 Super DMZ 2caps/day

HCG
2-9 500mcg
9-16 750mcg

Aromatisin
3-16 25mg every 3 days ( taken a day after inj.)

Caberg
9-14 0.25mg every 3 days

I've had libido issues after my last cycle, but it has recovered since then. My sex drive prior this cycle was good/normal, at week 3 I've noticed an increase in my libido. However it started to decrease at week 6. I am currently in week 9 of my cycle and my sex drive is very low. I occasionally get turned on, but cant get fully erected - unless I use Cialias or Levitra...or both.

Unfortunately I cant get the bloods done. For now I am going to assume my E2 is too low and drop AI for a week.

Any suggestions are welcome.

you are on that cycle and you are not crazy horny????
something must be wrong with your gear!

Aromasin should be taken daily. You are taking it every 3rd day. Do you have blood tests on your estrogen level taken the third day, before your dose of aromasin?

 

[Gosplan]

Your estro is sky high. And since you added NPP two weeks ago, the high e2 is probably also propiciating prolactin/progesteronic side effects.

As malfeasance said, Aromasin should be taken ED due to it's short half life. And also up it's dosage to 25mg ED or even 50mg ED, until your erections come back to normal. Then you can slowly reduce the dosage to avoid driving e2 too low. What, considering the amount of test you are taking, I doubt will happen.

Do your joints hurt? If so the problem could be related to estrogen being crushed.

What is your stress level like? Diet can also play a role (low carbs).

when my estrogen is too low my joints hurt and overall I feel really uncomfortable. when my estrogen is too high I hardly notice anything but a high number on the labs.
evregardless of my estrogen level I still have a mean LHJO schedule...

Im inclined to think maybe your just nandrolone sensitive... but at 350mg a week?!?

I dont know. how old are you... maybe this is natural?

So... would you be willing to refund me my money, so I can shop elsewhere?

Nope, bloods cost fortune over here.

Sine about week 4, i started getting occasional joint aches.
Carbs are moderate to high, around 300g with occasional carb ups

Thats NPP, I believe its equivalent to around 420mg of Deca Durabolin.
I am in my late 20s, I have to admit my sex drive isnt as high ast at 16-18, but this is definitely not natural.

 

[dieseljimmy]

Just saying I know several guys in their early 30s on Viagra that have never touched aas. If they were on aas maybe they would fault aas incorrectly.

That's too bad because it makes it a guessing game. Any neighboring countries do cheaper bloodwork? Might be cost-effective to hop a train in that case. Or you could fly to the States and use privatemdlabs.com. The female panel here which includes E2 is just $50.

If you're stuck with guessing, I agree with the others saying your E2 is sky high. At ~1g/wk test I have to take 12.5 to 25mg/day of Aromasin or else the E2 gets out of hand.

It sounds like your e2 is too low. Labs really need to be done to get the correct plan of action going.

i thought that was Adex? i thought aromasin was like 8-14 hours or something like that. every where i read its one or the other that has the longer half life. but all the info i have gathered though is that aromasin is best for dbol over adex so i stick with aromasin. sorry for the off track post.

Straight from the source...

Following oral administration to healthy postmenopausal women, exemestane is rapidly absorbed. After maximum plasma concentration is reached, levels decline polyexponentially with a mean terminal half-life of about 24 hours.

The pharmacokinetics of exemestane following administration of a single, 25-mg tablet to fasted healthy males (mean age 32 years) were similar to the pharmacokinetics of exemestane in fasted healthy postmenopausal women (mean age 55 years).

 

[chocolatemalt]

Yep, aromasin has ~1 day HL, adex is ~2 days.

25mg of aromasin ed..that should fix the issue..e2 is most likely to high...

 

[AugustWest]

so half the people say ur E2 is too low, the other half say too high.

its clear you need to get labs done, if nothing else just your estro.

 

[Dannie]

Think I've overreacted, I am paranoid when it comes to ED.
I think mu low sexdrive was due to lack of sleep and stress. I've managed to get some more sleep. Haven't had any ED issues last night or this morning.
Gonna run Aromatisin 12.5mg EOD.

If anyone is interested I've researched half-life of AI's:
Examestane (Aromatisin) 27h
Anastrozole (Armidex) 46.8h
Letrozole (Femara) 2days

 

[Digitalash]

I would say E2 also, you've been ramping up your doses and now you have issues, you're also takin aromasin way too infrequently. 1x or even 2x a day isn't abnormal with aromasin, get bloods IMO or try 25mg aromasin ED for a while. Use cialis if you need it
