Libido help, 5 months post PCT!

Hey guys, I've made a few posts before about various questions, but it seems im still stuck in a rut as far as libido goes.

I did a Halodrol/Prostanozol cycle earlier this year. 30 day cycle followed by a 30 day PCT.

50mg Halodrol and 75mg prostanozol per day for 30 days.

PCT looked like this:

wk1: 40mg Nolva, 25mg ReboundXT, 3 fenugreek caps 1.1g Saw palmetto
wk2: 30mg Nolva, 50mg ReboundXT, 4 fenugreek caps 1.1g saw palmetto
wk3: 20mg Nolva, 50mg ReboundXT, 5 fenugreek caps 1.1g saw palmetto
wk4: 10mg Nolva, 75mgReboundXT, 6 fenugreek caps 1.1g saw palmetto

Support supplements included Perfect Cycle, Celery seed extract, policosanol, CoQ10, hawthorn berry, and a multivitamin.

This was my first cycle ever, diet was on point(bulking). I was 20 years old when i started the cycle.

On cycle, first few days felt great....libido through the roof and then it slowly dropped from there. I felt like PCT did not have a huge change besides my joints being extremely dry from the reboundXT.

About a month after PCT I noticed some puffy nips and eventually opted from gyno surgery(had some during puberty that never really went away so it just worsened the problem).

Ever since the cycle, i've been feeling very unmotivated, lethargic, low libido, other symptoms of low test. I got my blood work and this is how it looks. :

TSH w/ free T4 RFX
TSH 2.60 Reference 0.70-6.40 mIU/L

Hepatic Function Panel
Protein, total 7.4 Reference 6.0-8.3 g/dl
Albumin 4.7 Reference 3.7-5.1 g/dl
Globulin, calculated 2.7 Reference 2.2-4.2 g/dl
A/G ratio 1.7 Reference .8-2.0
Bilirubin, total 0.82 Reference 0.20-1.50 mg/dl
Bilirubin, direct 0.16 Reference 0.00-0.30 mg/dl
Alkaline Phosphate 63 Reference 20-125
AST 15 Reference 3-50 U/L
ALT 12 Reference 3-60 U/L

LH 6.2 Reference 1.5-9.3 mIU/mL

Prolactin 11.7 Reference 2.0-18.0 ng/mL

HCG, serum <5.0 reference <5.0 miu/ml

Testosterone Total 496 Reference 241-827 ng/dL

Fasting/no water for about 14 hours before tests were taken

Nothing is out of the ranges, but I have no prior levels to reference.

Now i'm struggling to see if this problem is mental or physical. It was my first cycle, performed proper PCT, and took everything very seriously.

During sex, I can get it up usually(but a couple times it has failed) but feel as if it used to be much better. Can get it up masturbating also but not great, goes limp if I think of anything else for 10 seconds. Morning wood is somewhat rare but could be due to irregular sleeping due to some classes.

Is there anything that could help me at this point? Will another PCT do anything this late out? Could it hurt to try and actually lower my test levels or cause a gyno reoccurance?

Once again I really do appreciate all the help.
 
Bro, the mind is your biggest sexual organ

If you think you have issues YOU WILL

I know a lot of people on here will tell you to do more drugs, I'm gonna tell you to just calm down. The more you think your purple helmeted warrior isn't going to perform the worse job he does! I Bet you never even thought about it before your small cycle?

I'm 36 and just starting to notice the effects of age on this stuff, and I've noticed two DO things hurt performance more that roids.

1. Lack of sleep
2. Alcohol

Get more sleep and ditch the booze and see how you do.

I honestly believe that you can think yourself into these issues. I got with a really super hot babe once and got ED (nervous), so for months afterwards I thought I had a problem (no) it was just in my head.
 
I definately realize that it can, and probably is mental, but have a tough time knowing for sure. Is there any harm in running a second PCT even if I am in fact fully recovered? I know nolva tends to drop libido short term, but could there be any long term effects of running nolva/clomid for another 4 weeks if it is not needed but taken as just a precaution?
 
PCT is to get your test levels etc back to normal. That is fine. PCT again isn't the answer.

Are you stressed? Going through financial or personal issues etc? This can **** with your libido worse than any steroid.
 
Well, the thing is that i'm not sure if my test levels are "normal"....they are in the normal range but seem somewhat low for my age, most people have 600+, then again, i don't know what they were starting. I guess I am stressed, but most of my stress is due to this issue.
 
Your test levels are perfectly fine man. You need to stop worrying about it because that will cause more issues than you really have.
 
I have extra nolva/clomid lying around....could it hurt to try just to rule out the physical aspect?
 
Three questions, the answers to which may be insightful:

1. Do you have any CDs dating back to 1977 which from a performing artist who was referred to variously as "the Godfather of Punk" or "the Rock Iguana"?
2. Have you ever had a so-called “lawn dart incident”?
3. Ginger or Mary-Ann?

Not dependent on your answers, I would strongly suggest you let things run their course. From what I’ve seen you’ve done all the right things, except de-stress.

Jayhawkk, I believe these questions cover the appropriate bases, do they not?
