Hello All,
Looking for some forum vets to assist me in my queries. I have suffered from ED and low libido for years for reasons I am unsure. I rarely get morning wood or random wood, I can get hard with Viagra and Cialis. I think about sex alot but not much goes on down stairs. I have been a bodybuilder for quite a few years now training 4-6times a week without fail. I eat reasonably clean. High protein/medium-high carb/medium-low fat diet.
I have had a few blood tests over the years which showed my total T to be within normal range although fairly low for somebody with high muscle mass and active. Usually came in at around 16-20 nmol/L (uk) 450-550 ng/dl. And Oestradoil at 70-90 pmol/L 19-25 pgml. And SHBG in normal range. Calculated Free Test was always at very bottom end of range sometimes below. So i thought my libido issues may be due to low test or low DHT.
I have recently started taking 500mg per week of Test-e and 300mg of Deca (weeek 4 of 14) i have now added 500iu of HCG per week over 2 pins. The first week or 2 i noticed a big incresse in libido and erections. That has since faded. I have gained a few lbs since starting my course and strength has incresed slightly although i do not have tbe muscle hardness or pumps and libido i.was expecting! I have had a recent blood test. I will attach results below. Sorry for long winded post but im getting worried that i will never have good libido and will always have ED. Any advice or addirional test suggestions will be welcomed.
