HCG-lower sex drive

Hey Guys,

Question:

I am on low levels of TRT and recently got on HCG (trying to have a kid). Been on HCG for 5 weeks now and have noticed much lower sex drive. No more "morning wood" and less desire to have sex. Lifestyle has remained the same. I would have thought the exact opposite. Anyone know anything about this?

How much HCG and how often? You do need some labs to confirm though...Estradiol Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS...its just speculation beyond that.

Your Estradiol could have potentially increased. You should try to have an Estradiol level between 20-30 and you can achieve that through a medication called Anastrozole.
 
Aromasin is another option and doesn't have that horrible E2 rebound effect after stopping anastrozole. Start out on the lowest dose possible or you risk knocking estrogen to zero, not fun.

A 1/10 or even 1/20th tablet of aromasin is more than enough for me as I'm an AI over-responder.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
