I was on 20mg of ostarine for 27 days but just stopped a few days ago as I noticed it greatly decreased my libido. Wondering what to do now to bring my libido back to normal -- should I just wait or perhaps use some PCT. If PCT, then what?
 
Youre probably partially shutdown which is normal. The mental aspect of you stressing over it certainly doesn’t help. You could do a light PCT or simply give it time to bounce back and you should be fine within weeks or months.
 
Thank you. Not too worried as I know the body loves to maintain homeostasis. I think I will give it time to just bounce back as it would be hard to obtain any PCT chemicals at the moment anyway. I do take saw palmetto extract with beta-sitosterol, nettle root extract, boron and rosemary. Anything easily available over the counter for a light PCT?
 
I always run something for libido in my pct.

Recently used splinathe xt and it works great for that. Tribulus is cheap and although It does nothing as a test booster it works well for libido. Also like ginseng a lot and I always run cialis daily since it’s pretty cheap. Lots of options out there. Just make sure you run nolvadex or clomid for four weeks then throw whatever libido supplement on top you like. No need to go crazy though and take ten different things like some do.
 
It will just take longer to recover. My first cycle years ago was just dbol. I didn’t use any pct and was fine. It’s so cheap and easy to get now though so I would but you do t have to.
 
On a general note. Don't take sarms or other hormonal ped's, if you don't have a serm pct ready.

For otc stuff to help your situation, check out Iconic Formulations Sustain Alpha. It's great for libido and could help in restoring T production too. Another good one is CEL M-Test and you can stack them, many do. There's also this new pct product from Olympus Labs called K1ngs PCT, that has some decent ingridients.

I would actually think it’s smarter not to introduce serms in your body for something silly like a 4 week ostarine run

Yeah 4 weeks of Osta is hardly a real cycle, but Osta is suppressive and at least for longer runs I'd do and recommend a proper pct. (I wouldn't recommend Osta in the first place, but if chosen to run it for what ever reason.)
 
Sarms have the same side effects as steroids. You shouldn't have ran a cycle of anything without a full pct on hand, also. 30 days on osta is a complete waste of time. Your not going to build much muscle at all in 30 days even if you used 2 grams of test and tren. It's just not physically possible to build muscle that fast.

30 days on a sarm will give you somewhere between 0 and 2 lbs of muscle if your lucky, but in the process you suppressed your natural testosterone, did some temporary libido setbacks and while your testosterone is low it's impossible to maintain any muscle that you built anyways.

That was a very poorly thought out plan. If you're going to use them again have enough for 8+ weeks, something to stack it with that converts to estrogen to maintain sexual function and mood and a full pct on hand for afterwards

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I had planned on taking osterine for longer but decided to stop when I noticed the low libido. It is my first time using anything so my idea was to experiment with a "mild" SARM to test the waters.

Interestingly I've had some shoulder pain for a long time and it has gone away with the ostarine. If this maintains then it will have been worth it alone. Also possibly increased bone density.

Now my plan is to get some OTC testosterone boosters and obtain some tamoxifen. Maybe 10-20mg for a few weeks.

In my opinion the problem with sarm only cycles is that sarms have no conversion to estrogen or dht. Those 2 hormones drive libido and sexual function. Even with extremely low testosterone levels on cycle, if you have dht and estrogen in a healthy range you can build muscle and performance in the gym and bedroom shouldn't suffer.

So adding 4 Andro or dermacrine would help and adding epiandro on top of those would help even more.

The 4andro or dermacrine should provide a little testosterone and more importantly estrogen, epiandro fills the dht slot and the sarm is your anabolic.

That's why oral only cycles are bad in my opinion. Not because they don't work, they do work. But the cost to make them worthwhile is like 5 times the price of a 300mg testosterone cycle with half the results
