Very Tough Recovery...Need some advice please.

[jacked]

ok, here is my deal. been using on and off for the last 10 years may be one cycle every 12-18 months or so. im 33 now, 5'8". 190lb

six weeks ago, i finished a cycle... sust at 250 every 3rd day and deca 300 every 5th day. Ran it for about 11 weeks or so. Also took a-dex, .5 every other day. Very good cycle for me in terms of gains, felt great.

i started PCT three weeks after my last inj. consisting of Clomid 100 mg/day and nolva at 30mg/day. I am now over three weeks into PCT and have absolutley NO SEX DRIVE. I have never felt this good in the gym, post cycle. My strength is only down a little and ive lost about 7 pounds or so. but my sex drive issue is really bringing me down.

Any ideas about where i go from here? i have 10,000 iu of HCG. I was thinking of maybe trying to jump start the recovery. I know there are conflicting opinions about whether HCG slows recovery but i dont know what else to do.

i plan on getting bloodwork done this week to give me some kind of baseline.
Am i wrong to think that i should have recovered somewhat by now??

any help would be appreciated.

Re: Very Tough Recovery...Need some advice please.

Do you have atrophy as well as low libido, or is it just a lack of sex drive?? You should have run hcg with this cycle (500IU sat/sun, i do 1000IU 2 times ew split for the duration of the cycle then up it 1000IU 3 times a wk for the 2-3wks prior to pct and run proviron 25-50mg ed along with it and it is a fantastic jumpstart before starting pct). If you have already started the clomid and nolva for and are almost done with pct, i would add some proviron 25mg ed. It should help with the libido. If it doesn't do the trick, continue using it, but up it to 50mg ed and after your pct, if you still don't have libido, then try hcg 1000IU 3 times ew with the proviron for at least 3 wks. It will def work. You don't want to use the hcg with the clomid.

Re: Very Tough Recovery...Need some advice please.

thanks for the reply. No atrophy at all, not even during the cycle.
Just a non-existent libido. im already three weeks into clomid/nolva so how long should i continue?
you are saying that clomid and HCG dont work together im assuming because the HCG will not allow the clomid to raise LH levels so it would be kind of a waste?

DO NOT USE BOTH HCG AND CLOMID TOGETHER

Continue with what your doing for pct right now for another week or 2, My last cycle had deca in it and I didn't feal like I was starting to recover until the end of week 4. Then all of a sudden my libido was back. Just give it a little more time.

Re: Very Tough Recovery...Need some advice please.

^Finish out your pct and if you can, get some proviron and run it like i said. The prob with using clomid with hcg to make it simple your brain centers to release these LH can become desincitized and can be counterproductive and hamper recovery even further. Follow what i suggested and you will be fine. It may take awhile, but for sure it will work. Just keep in mind next time to run the hcg with your cycle when you are using deca. Remember too, proper sleep, diet, supplements, like zinc, magneisum, selnium, vit-c all help also with recovery.
