Background
I am a 22 year old male and it’s been over a year now since my problem started. I was stupid, lacked knowledge etc. So don’t judge me on the decisions I have made, I have learned from them and only want to return my body back to normal. About a year and 2 months ago, I stopped what had been probably a year and a half- 2 years on and off cycles. I had no idea what I was doing and didn’t realize the consequences of doing it wrong. Therefore, I am now living with erectile dysfunction and little to no libido.
I saw a doctor a year ago which refered me to endocrinologist who had not the slightest clue what he was talking about. He was googling info on it when I was in his office and then only did blood tests for testosterone. Waste of time and money. Then I lost my insurance until January 1st of this year so I could not see a doctor. I finally saw one and got the proper blood tests which are below. My doctor is clueless about what to do, He doesn’t know anything about it. I have seen the treatments posted on here but he won’t do it unless it is proven to work etc. At this point, I am ready to try most anything to get back to normal and that’s why I’m back on these boards.
I cycled on and off halodrol and superdrol off and on for 1-2 years. During the early times of taking it, I was fine and did not shut down at all. Then I noticed I had problems after coming off of it but was just retarded and started another cycle shortly after. Finally about a year ago, I realized I had some major issues and didn’t realize how useless doctors were.
Now, all I ask for is some help from you guys, maybe a referral to a doctor anywhere that I could have mine get in touch with, recommendations on treatment, and what you guys think is the outlook on this. I’m really trying not to lose hope and hope I can recover. I noticed most my results are in the low normal range and one (FSH) is in the below normal. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I will be checking the board very frequently these next few days. If anyone has any other questions let me know. I really want to figure out how to get myself better. Thanks

Matt

Your fsh is low. I wonder what you fertility is like. Imo, you need to start some toremifene to stimulate some lh. And fsh. I also recommend toco8 from primordial as it'll help make your testicles more sensitive to the lh.

Thanks for the reply. You have been more help then anyone else so far. Most have told me there is absolutely nothing wrong when i know there is, and een i can see the fsh is below average. Would a combination of clomid/nolva have the same effect as the other S.E.R.M? I already have those in stock so it would be much easier

Take a serm... Be back to normal in no time. I suggest nolva 20/20/20 and on top of that look into the testerone recovery stack.

I'm curious if you have tried Viagra and if it did anything for you ? It may not be totally hormonal is why I ask.

id suggest the clomid restart. its 50mg a day for four weeks. I think that will help. also realize your testosterone isnt low enough to even be considered for TRT. Also do try viagra and see how it goes. a lot of people who come off extended cycles forget what it was like to have sex before cycles and the problem is mental. Not saying u dont know ur body just saying its not like ur test levels are so low that there is a whole lot of warrant for worry.

Also what time of day did u get your blood test and did u fast?

Your body will naturally restore itself, but the question is when? If you're on anything such as antidepressants, THC, opioids, etc, that could be a contributing factor to your problem. A lot of time, the depression that comes from living with erectile problems make the ED stay long after your body has balanced your hormones to a normal level.

Before you get on a SERM, try an otc libido enhancer and re-train your brain to relax your mind and body which may allow you to perform. Libido Max is good-I used it and loved it. It is like $25 and has tribulus as a test booster.

All guys have had problems at times, but mine was more mind than body-A lot of people quickly turn to a SERM....No SERM will fix ED caused by depression or the fear of not being able to perform-You may need a SERM, but I solved my problem with an OTC libido/test booster. Lastly, sex with love is better than random sex....You're only 22, so you have plenty of time to figure this out-Good luck and don't give up!!

When you say THC, are you referring to Mary Jane? Mary/THC doesn't cause half the problems that most have been lied to about. Start researching something besides roids and serms.

Myth: Marijuana causes sterility and lowers testosterone
Government experts also concede that pot has no permanent effect on the male or female reproductive systems.(14) A few studies have suggested that heavy marijuana use may have a reversible, suppressive effect on male testicular function.(15) A recent study by Dr. Robert Block has refuted earlier research suggesting that pot lowers testosterone or other sex hormones in men or women.(16) In contrast, heavy alcohol drinking is known to lower testosterone levels and cause impotence. A couple of lab studies indicated that very heavy marijuana smoking might lower sperm counts. However, surveys of chronic smokers have turned up no indication of infertility or other abnormalities.

Less is known about the effects of cannabis on human females. Some animal studies suggest that pot might temporarily lower fertility or increase the risk of fetal loss, but this evidence is of dubious relevance to humans.(1) One human study suggested that pot may mildly disrupt ovulation. It is possible that adolescents are peculiarly vulnerable to hormonal disruptions from pot. However, not a single case of impaired fertility has ever been observed in humans of either sex.

i mean technically the link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking isnt "causation" but "likely" as well. obviously not every person who has smoked and died of lung cancer can trule say it was 100% the cigarettes. In regaurds to pot SERMs and steroids, you have to realize the people funding these studies generally have a financial or political motivation behind the study. For example all the bs about steroids being the worst drug on the planet generally funded by anti-steroid or pro-drug reform groups willing to shell out some money on a study to prove their position. In the opposite corner pharmacutical companies which will also test their own steroids (primerily tesosterone) and talk about all the benefits, obviously for financial gain.

There are a lot of people pulling up studies and posting them as fact on here which is lovely however the background information has to be correct as well. A non-partial funding is neccessary, double blind study and as close to a respsentative group to apply to the population. A lot of studies miss this and just because they where conducted doesnt necessarily mean they are truth..

im not saying drugs are good and everything u hear is a lie, im just saying when researching just finding the study isnt good enough anymore.
