Do you have recent bloodwork results to post?

Have you had your prolactin levels checked? If so, you might consider taking cabergoline for a few weeks if the levels are higher than normal. Higher prolactin levels could also impact libido.

Have you had your estradiol (sensitive) tested?

Also, with your current protocol, have you tried injecting more frequently? An example would be the following: Inject 100mg of testosterone on Monday and Thursday (total 200mg for the week), .25 anastrozole taken on Tuesday, and 500iu HCG taken on Friday and Saturday. This would hopefully keep your levels regulated throughout the week and would give you a nice boost for the weekend when you might need it and also for Monday morning when work might be more demanding. I highly doubt you would need 450mg of testosterone per week.
