Curious about you guy's thoughts on my situation. I belive it to be unique.
Protocol:
Test cyp 92.5mg Sun & Wed—185mg/wk total
HCG 250 IU Sun & Wed—500 IU/wk total
Been on this for 7 weeks
no IU so far
started from baseline total t of ~425 ng/dl
28 years old. 165lbs. 13%bf. diet and training is good. Sleep hasnt been the best recently, but HRV and RHR are all consistent with how they've been pre-exogenous test.
Effects:
Didn't notice really anything at first; I understood this was to be expected. Around week 4, mood started getting flat, feeling a little more lethargic, and most importantly... libido fell to nearly zero. At week 6 I literally had the opportunity to have sex with a woman I've found attractive for a while, and I had no desire to. Obviously pissed me the fuck off. Not expected considering the stereotypical effects of TRT people speak about. Ordered bloods the next day.
Labs:
(Taken at tough, fasted. followed guidelines for accurate prolactin readings)
Total T: 1916ng/dl
Free T: 58ng/dl
Estradiol(LC/MS, ultrasensitive): 112pg/ml
Prolactin: 21.1ng/ml
Lipids, cmp, cbc had no red flags other than HDL was a little low at 34
I did not expect the total t to be so high. Not completely familiar with dose responces, but 1900+ at trough was not what I was expecting, not shooting for. Naturally the E2 was also way too high. Wondering if that had to do with my odd mood and libido symptoms.
During the course of the protocol, I didn't notice any high E2 symptoms other than a little bit of water weight, and little bits of spicy nip here and there, so I didn't see the need to take AI at the time.
When I got blood back, I:
took .25mg arimidex
Discontinued HCG for now
Dropped the test dose to 160 mg/wk and increased pin frequency to eod. All done in effort to get things back to normal ish levels across the board so I could more accuratly start diagnosing why I was feeling like shit.
Curious about the flat mood and zero libido, what may be causing it, how I can address it, and how to avoid negative effects like those again in the future.
-Cheers.
