Shut Down after SARMS cycle - Advice please

Hi guys,

I would appreciate some advice from the experienced members here.

I'm 42 yrs old and I currently experiencing erectile dysfunction. The logical reason might be natural Test shut down due to a current SARMS cycle.

Here is the background:

My cycle was: 250mg/w Test Cyp (10 weeks)
20mg/d Ostarine x25 (week 5 onwards)
10mg/d Rad 140 x25 (week 5 onwards)

Then after 2weeks I ran a PCT of HCG and Nolva: 40mg/d 2weeks / 20mg/d 2weeks

I was feeling great after PCT and very happy with my results.


After a month I decided to run a SARM only cycle of Ostarine 10mg/d and LGD4033 10mg/d.
Here is where I think I got it wrong, too soon I guess.
Its now 1 week in and I'm experiencing ED. I have stopped the SARMS cycle immediately.

What would you do in this situation?
Run a PCT? TRT?
How long will the ED last?

Yes you're right too soon, and this is unfortunately expected when you don't run a proper PCT. 2 weeks is too soon after your last injection to start a PCT and you didn't run it for long enough.

You started this latest Ostarine cycle before your natural testosterone levels recovered, and then the ostarine dropped those levels even lower. It takes longer to recover in our 40's.

Without treatment you can expect the ED to last a few months, so start a PCT 2 ASAP as in the 'Articles' section.

What is your opinion on the following:
What if I was considering to be on TRT (longterm)? Lets say 100mg/w

Reason is that I found that my overall status is optimal when I take that amount, my energy, sexdrive, motivation in gym, focus etc..

Lets say I'm okay with relying on TRT permanently? Would that be wise to do now?

Dont see it being a problem jumping on TRT now. 100 per week might be low but you need to find what works for you

If you plan on running more AAS close in the future, there may be an argument to start (or force yourself) into TRT.... however:

You should recover from that SARM cycle to your first PCT state described.
This can be achieved by using clomiphene and give things some time. (it is just 1 week you probably do not need any clomiphene etc)

The effect could be secondary and not necessarily low T.

You are seriously jumping the gun if you want to start TRT after 1 week of a SARMS cycle.

On a side note, consider what you want to do in the near future and why bother with SARMS?
As you can see they shut you down, offer no benefits over AAS, have no medical belonging, and have the same or worse side effects.

I can promise you the reality of being on TRT when you don't essentially need it is much less attractive than the idea of being on TRT.

I am a similar age to you, and have been through periods when it's very rough coming off and when it's an absolute bitch having to do shots just to keep my T levels stable.

At our age we start getting those mid-life crisis thoughts where we realise that we're getting older but just want that slight boost to keep things going great and stay attractive to the younger hotties. Is keeping your best body now really going to be worth it in 10-15 years time when you could need to be on permanent TRT until you pop off at 80? If your answer is yes then jump on TRT for sure.

Just saying it's a big decision nobody else should make for you, and you should look at the worst case as well as best case scenarios.

I wish I could recover, I can promise you I don't enjoy having to jab every single week, specially as MA said, only enough to keep my levels normal, I would much prefer a functional body.. My total test is 2 without TRT, maybe if it was 11 I would even then go without TRT..

Hmmm you might as well consult your doctor once again since your cycle seems a bit off to me personally at least. Well, that is your decision after all. Have you also tired other types of medication available? You just to have another perspective or another way to address your concern.

sankakrishna80 are you a bot or something? You talking rubbish on multiple threads now.
