Test, libido, prolactin?

Another post on the board got me to thinking about something I have noticed when taking gear. When I start a cycle libido initially shoots through the roof then starts falling about 3wk into the cycle. At first I thought I just had problems with compounds that are more heavily anabolic vs. androgenic. Things like EQ and VAR will all but destroy my libido, and while I can get a normal erection it tends to be a temporary thing. I don’t even stay hard long enough to consider having sex. It’s kind’a like there was this idea, but it lost its appeal real fast.

Then I did a test only cycle, and only on 300mg EW. Same result. Two weeks into it I notice ejaculate volume starts dropping. Three weeks into it I found myself a little less interested in sex but still kinda into the idea. Trying to have sex was easy, as there was no problem getting and maintaining an erection but HUGE problems actually getting off. It just took forever, to the point of faking it just to get it over with.

This sort of thing sounds like what happens to guys with too high of prolactin levels. Some can get and maintain an erection, but can’t get off and some (if levels are way too high) simply can’t have sex at all. How is prolactin production regulated in males? Could excess test result in prolactin directly? I don’t think so. Could excess test cause one’s body to produce more prolactin as a regulatory response? I think I have seen some prolactic/GH feedback relationships, but not certain about test.
 
good question. i suspect prolactin is heavilly involved also as i have been crashed with things like tren and despite my using test and arimidex to help myself, was still w/o libido. i suspected that there is more to the libido/erection picture than only testosterone and estrogen. bump for prolactin info.
 
Having a problem at present. Did an extended cycle ending about 12/7/03 it was about 16 weeks and included deca, test, fina, winny, and d-bol. Daily liquidex and proviorn, PCT with clomid and hcg.

Still have trouble with libido and erections.

Have you had any blood tests done? If so what were the results? Have you considered the herbal route? The latter is all I ran after my last cycle and I felt it helped carry me though the down time.

Well, hate to say it but 16wk of deca/fina/winny/test has a good chance of leaving you pretty messed up. The scenario I described is a little different.

You can get some tests done, I assume total T is still low. What exactly did you do for PCT? You might need to repeat it.
 
i read vitex is good for lowering prolactin! also could it be that in some people when they have abnormal test levels due to steroids they could produce more prolactin to try and balance the hormone levels out.

low levels of progesterone (from HPTA suppression) may also be factor

Can anything offset this effect? Not the whole HPTA suppression (that would be nice), but maybe low progesterone levels?
