ok 45 yrs old 6 cycles under the belt
started test e at 800 mg week and did that for 26 weeks
weeks 1-13 deca at 300 mg week
weeks 13-26 was taking 75 mg of tren a every day with 50 mg winny and var when i ran out of winny
taking 5 ius of hgh
used hcg at week 20 through 26 and then exactly like the sticky post in this forum says with clomid and nova
all was great up until about week 20 when I lost a lot of the sex drive even on high test.
not prone to gyno at all but I still look liquid stane and to block prolactin I took Cabergoline at weeks 20 through 26
cycle went 6 weeks longer then I wanted due to waiting on a pct shipment
am I doomed or what?
stane?
it's hard to say , I'd get Blood work done and a hormone pannel to see what the hell is going on.
shbg, Test, estro ,dhea,
At your age it's a damn good possibility your body ain't recoverin like it should. Might try starting over with pct again, few small shots of hcg with another 4 weeks of low dose clomid/nolva, and run low dose exemestane 2 weeks past those.

Exemestane (Aromasin) is an aromatase inhibitor,
im leaning on the blood work soon
At your age, it might be time to consider trt. Even if you can recover, I dont think it will be to the level that you feel much different. Your natural test is going to be low either way. Id go get some bloodwork done and go from there.
At 45 years old, years of cycling AAS does take its toll on your body. It will take you longer to recover than someone in their 20s or 30s. It took me nearly a year to recover fully after my last long cycle. I know this won't be popular, but if you have done a correct pct, which it looks like you did. I would come off everything and see how you progress over a few months. Well not everything, I might add in a PDE5 Inhibitor like Cialis just to keep things going in the right direction.
Depends on your body really. I know from past experience, mine and my friends, that deca and tren make the dick sleepy and spastic but in time it recovers.. even older guys. Could take a while. In the meantime there are viagra and cialis. In the 80s all we had was porn and our imagination.
What's the blood pressure look like? Any other supplements \ Herbs etc used?
I'd also have your E2 levels checked. Make sure to use the Ultra Sensitive Essay panel for men. Quest Diagnostics are the only ones I know that do this panel. Even with no gyno symptoms, elevated E2 levels will kill your libido and sexual ability faster than low test levels.
I would try some DAA if your completely off, I'm not into recovery anymore, its to hard on me
Could be a number of things. High blood pressure, high estrogen level, etc. You need a hormone panel.
blood pressure is just fine 122/70
good cholesterol was low at 24
took letro for a few weeks prior to coming off
going to go get my blood checked when I get a day off
Well hell by my standards you're not doing too bad. My sex drive tanks when I've been on cycle for very long even before I come off. If I stay on anything more than about 150mg of test cyp a week for a long period my drive goes way down.
I'd look into getting the E2 checked for sure. I know that when I throw a little adex in my drive goes up a ton.
will killing off all the estrogen kill sex drive too?
