Hello people, I need your help to restore my libido. The story goes like that - I have completed a cycle of testosterone enanthate, masterone enanthate, and used HCGenerate along the entire cycle. In the last 4 weeks I also used HCG. Right now I am in the middle of my 6 weeks PCT with clomid, nolvadex, HCGenerate ES and Ostarine MK-2866. However, like a week ago, my libido was completely gone - like nothing at all, and even cialis does not work for me. Also, I have had a strong increase in prolactin during the cycle, but I got it under control with cabergoline...could it be prolactin? Or maybe it's nolvadex? Any ideas?
Where is my libido? In need of advice here

It is definitely not the Nolvadex, as it does not increase prolactin as is, only when combined with tren or deca, none of which you were using. So I would doubt it has to do with prolactin. Most probably it is a result of HCG use, as it can cause such side effects as gyno and suppression. Therefore, most probably it is the suppression caused by HCG. I am pretty sure that the PCT will get things back to normal, just be patient. So keep working on it, and keep us updated on the situation.
High dosages of Clomid work wonders for me when I've had this issue in the past. I suggest speaking to your doctor about it if you have one -- you may need to see a urologist or endocrinologist

He is in the middle of a quite strong and comprehensive PCT, so I think it will be fine by the end of the PCT.
P.S. 4% BF at 225 lbs? That is whicked! You definitely got to post your pics on a different thread - it would be a very good motivation for other guys!
I hope he will be fine. I don't know what a comprehensive PCT after three years on looks like.
I need all the encouragement I can get to get to 225 with 4%. I've been at 218 before -- my heaviest. But I was still around 10%, with lots of water. Doing some very dry research once I get my clean bulking diet in order and habituated, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
I think you got a bit mistaken - he did not say that he has been on cycle for three years, so he will get better.
As for your goals, it would be very cool to start some kind of a log thread, where you could post the different ups and downs on your way to the goal.

Oh yeah I'm confusing this thread with another elsewhere. More than mistaken, just out of it apparently.

That is ok. From now on we leave this thread only for the libido issues.

You'll recover eventually but the only way to know for sure is with blood work... Prolactin is most likely the culprit... It'll get you if you run Deca unprotected...
I always say that blood work must be done for the best decisions to be made, since there are just so many things that can be wrong, and most of them are not there to be seen with bare eye. Therefore, it is best to rely on the raw numbers. Besides, being on PCT it is quite normal to have temporary problems with libido.
Being on TRT, libido was what initially got me back into training. There's a science to using AAS and maintaining the sweet spot where your dick works. I've experimented with caber and that's essential for Deca and tren use. I've found my sweet spot for test on cycle and off. And now Im currently playing with Aromasin reducing what I have been taking. There's a reason for every side effect, and a solution. Blood work takes the guessing away when your having problems.
i agree as well... just because you "feel" a certain way does not ensure the proper diagnosis... it gives an idea but it confirms nothing... blood work must be done so the proper areas are addressed and treated other wise its guess work and you may treat the wrong issue and leave yourself worse off than initially...
It all comes down to blood work. You,can't speculate anything. It could be estrogen, prolactin, test, SHBG, or other issues. Only way to know is test and find out where your problem lies. Up until then it's just a guessing game. There is also a lot of mental that goes with libido. Sometimes people create problems with their mind that aren't really there
Exactly! Many tendo to limit the ED problems to estrogen and testosterone only, but there is so much more to it. Prolactin can cause ED, and what's more - both too low and too high prolactin can lead to libido problems. Therefore, you need to keep a healthy level of prolactin, and a good balance of estrogen, with testosterone high enough. And in the end of the day, only blood work can let you know about the exact levels of each hormone in your blood.
That's exactly right. The body likes to have things in specific ranges. It's never good to be too high or too low in any of those values
