Hormone Blood Work Results - Can anyone help?

[DMI]

I am currently coming off cycle and have just started HCG. It was a light cycle of 250mg sustanon per week and 400mg masterone per week over a 16 week duration. I've had the hormone tests a little early as it's only 2 weeks since my last shot. My libido has been down for quite some time and my erection capacity has been not quite what it once was, even with a little help from viagra / levitra. I was wondering if this could be explained by the following results. My interpretation is that everything is as you might expect when coming off a cycle. The testes are still clearly shut down with the practically zero FSH and LH, but I don't think this would explain my libido / sexual function problem?

FSH 0.1 (low) normal 1.5-11.4
LH <0.1 (very low) normal 1.7-8.6
Oestradiol (E2) 103 normal 28-156
Prolactin 237 normal 86-324
Testosterone 20.4 normal 7.6-31.4
SHBG 11 (low) normal 14-78
Free androgen index 185.4 (very high) normal 22-104
DHEA sulphate 10.1 (high) normal 2.6-7.7
Free Testosterone PENDING

I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks

not sure what you were expecting with your blood results. seems like everything is exactly where I would have guessed.

you should of ran hcgenerate during cycle and started the hcg when you made your last injection.

you are gonna get a rude awakening when the testosterone tapers away with your LH shutdown.

i would load up 5K iu's of hcg NOW and start injecting 1500 IU's every 3 days stacked with hcgenerate. if you can get HMG i would run a couple doses of that too. and then when your round is over you need to get on PCT. I'm not gonna lie to you but the next few weeks are not gonna be fun, but if you hustle and start doing what I wrote NOW then you will manage a smoother recovery.

your libido is dead cause you are messing with hormones, it is a myth that testosterone automatically results in strong libido. that isn't always the case

Hey steve, why would you have him load up on hcg when its an all or nothing effect... Wouldn't 500ius a week be find? 5000 is gonna make his body start producing anymore any faster, so just running a normal 5000 iu kit for and after pct should be ok? My PCT was 8 weeks anyways, almost enough for 5000 ius, and i would have just ran the 1k for 2 extra weeks...

not 5000 at one time.. 5000 over the course of a week or so to kickstart his PCT.

he is way behind and he needs an aggressive kickstart going into PCT or it will be a rough recovery..

it will definately help his LH bounce back.

But if you front load a product that is gonna give you an all or nothing effect, why would u frontload a whole kit. Whether its 5000 or 250, it shouldnt matter....What matters is finding out the dosage that is gonna get you producing the most.... Everyones body is different and off course underdosing is possible... Not saying that it isnt... because what may work for me as far as dosage is different for you.... But frontloading 5000 ius shouldnt make the difference.. I can understand maybe 1000 ius, but for someone that has never used, wouldnt it be overkill when hes gonna start back up at less that 1000 ius... Dosage of EOD looks good, i just think its overkill... Not tyring to battle you..

I just wanna be giving good advice, i always doubt myself when i argue something with steve!!!!

If it's only been 2 weeks and you're taking HCG, those numbers mean nothing. What kind of PCT did you do?

You don't think FSH affects libido?

Nelson,

It is 2 weeks since my last shot. 1 week after my last shot I started HCG and tamoxifen and this blood work was taken 1 week into my HCG and tamoxifen. I will run HCG for another week (5000iu used so far in 3 shots) and will take a further 2000iu in 2 divided doses for another week. Then I intend to continue the tamoxifen at 20mg for a further 2-3 weeks after my last HCG shot. Does that sound okay? I presume my LH and FSH will start to increase once I have finished the HCG and am only running tamoxifen?

I haven't found any articles that directly link FSH to libido / erections, but do you think the zero FSH may be responsible for the shot libido?

Thanks for your input.

roughly 1250 iu's split over 5 doses of hcg. taken every 3 days.. that will help him. and his nuts will plump right back up hopefully

i don't think its overkill, i do this all the time.. the only difference is i run hcgenerate during cycle to keep the nuts plump already.

Way too much HCG. Once levels have peaked, they've peaked. Using more will not make them higher or last longer.
