Lost Libido after finishing PCT

I joined this forum because I have reached desperation with trying to figure out what has happened to my body. I have lost all Libido post pct treatment and can't even get it up for my wife. It's really screwing with our marriage and I could really use some guidance. Here is my treatment and pct below:

- 2 years of TRT/HCG - Low to normal test before starting treatment, everything was ok, just wanted to try for more energy and better results in the gym
- For PCT, after my last test injection, I did 4 weeks of continuing HCG, and then I did Clomid 50 ed for 2 weeks, 25 ed for 2 weeks, 12.5 ed for 2 weeks, and then 12.5 eod for 2 weeks. Everything was great during PCT. it seemed that I was tapering off it nicely while still maintaining my libido. A couple of dips in the process here and there, but overall good. In total, I did 12 weeks of PCT
- After about 3-4 weeks of ending PCT, my libido crashed and went from little to absolutely 0 within the last 2 weeks.
- This has wrecked my relationship with my wife. One of the reasons I came off of TRT is because we wanted to try and have a baby.

- A week ago, I started clomid 50 ed once again to try and help things. All it's done is make my balls sore. I am thinking about getting back off of that. I dont want to keep jumping back and forth. I'm really lost here fellas after feeling pretty confident at the end of my PCT treatment. Ever since it ended though, things have just gone downhill.

If anyone has any recommendations or insight, I cant tell you how much it would be appreciated.

Talk to your Dr.
Get blood work.

Unless you do those things, you'll just be guessing.

What were your Estrogen #s?

Estrogen was not on the last labs. I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday, I’m going to request new labs with full hormone test, including estrogen.
I know this stuff will take some time to play out, anyone have any recommendations short term that I can try?

No .... I wouldn't take anything until after the test.
You don't want to make your situation even more difficult to figure/straighten out.
 
probably low estrogen and high prolactin or something relatively easy to fix. wait and see where you come back on the test like Renew said. in the short term, talk to your wife and explain the situation. you will get it sorted and its NOT because of her. make sure she knows its hoemones, and you will get it sorted.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I did a lot of research on my PCT treatment and I felt like I was doing the right thing.

do you think it will set me back too much that I started the clomid again a week ago? I’ll go ahead and stop taking it today and see how the labs play out. I just remember feeling pretty good on clomid when on my PCT the first time and was trying to duplicate the results.

some men do well on eod clomid. but dont until u find out where you are. YOU actually may end up doing just fine with an OTC test booster like Arimahex or similar.

It seems that by stopping the clomid quickly its not had much impact... but at the dose you used I'm pretty much certain its had effects. thats OK but dont use any more until u see whats happening in the big picture.

Got it, I really appreciate the advice. As soon as I get my test results and feedback from the doctor, I'll post them here.
 
Your shgb will come back pretty high looking at the t/ft ratio.

as others have said, e may be out if whack somewhat, but it may be other factors impacting sexual function.

Easiest short term fix is just using some cialis

Yeah, @mjl2001 .... Cialis won't effect lab results.
 
Ped’s might provide a boner,however, there still should be desire for best benefit
maybe some tonkat + p5p
