Cruising on low libdo - Blood tests inside*

[bodyfreak]

Blasted a nice test/tren cycle few months back. It's been about 2 months since stopping and dropping my test dose to about 250mg a week of test E. During that time I've experienced low sex drive, a little fatigue, and a lack of motivation to work out. I thought it was due to high estrogen since I ran out of ai but after getting my blood work back today I can see that's not the case. Here's the test results:

TOTAL TT: 33

ESTROGEN (E2): 53

DHEA: 12

Prolactin: 7

SHBG: 34

THYROID (T3): 5.2

The tests were done about 6 days after my last shot. Does anyone have a clue why my sex drive is low and have any suggestions on fixing it?

Thanks

Gee, ya think it might be the tren???

Hmmm, well, assuming same reference range for lab values ... I'm perimenopausal and that's what my numbers looked like before I went on HRT.

So you've got the hormones of a 49 year old woman.

Not sure if sarcastic remark but are you saying my androgen receptors are just burnt out because of the tren

did you run PCT and hCG

250mg is a high cruising dosage. I would guess this would have you over 800 on your Test level.

I'm not sure I understand your comment.

I'm a 49 y/o woman and I'm telling you that my lab values before I went on hormone replacement therapy looked very similar to yours. No wonder you feel like shit, I did too. Here, look:

Your Values/My values
TOTAL TT: 33/32

ESTROGEN (E2): 53/113

DHEA: 12/309

Prolactin: 7/5.0

SHBG: 34/not tested

THYROID (T3): 5.2/3.1

Assuming the lab ranges are similar, your DHEA is so low it's below normal by 13 points and your T3 is a full point outside of the high end. I can't imagine anyone willingly doing this to their endocrine system but at least it should give you sympathy for menopausal women.

On the plus side, you're only half the woman I was back then, so cheer up!

I agree.. he needs to post up his reference ranges.. he didn't even post the values just numbers lol

I think you need some extensive and current blood work. Getting this test less than a week after your last shot doesn't tell a lot

I'm not stopping my cruise. As it stands I'm taking in 250mg of test e weekly. I just wanna know why my sex drive has been on it's all time low. Maybe SHBG is to high?

If SHBG is the problem, get some UNLEASHED and double dose it. That should make a big difference within a week.

 

[stevesmi]

your prolactin could be high but bottom line is anytime you run hormones that fluctuate your levels it can effect libido good or bad.

plus there are dozens of factors involved with libido.

What does your cruise have to do with blood work? I didn't tell you to come off of cruise. I blast and cruise too but I still get my blood work done to make sure everything is where I want it. Without blood work its all guesswork and you're just pissing in the wind
