HGH & Libido

[Nick_Vaz]

Hey guys wanted to reach out and see if any has had the same experience as I am running into right now. Picked up some generic HGH and started at 3iu and even since I feel like my libido is zero. I understand 3iu was prob to steep of a start, ended up getting super achy joints but sleep has been fantastic I have since backed down to 2iu. Hoping that helps things but curious if anyone has had any similar experiences. And might have any solutions
Current protocol:
105mg test cyp per week
750iu HCG

Yeah, some people need to ramp up slowly.

Regarding libido, its anecdotal, but I have felt its trimmed my a bit since I started.

Have no idea if there is research to back this up or not

Are you saying it’s effected your libido as well?

I have felt that it has reduced it some, yes.

Someone will come along and show research, so Id put more weight on that

my libido has been down for a while, but I was thinking its because Ive been dieting for a long time and weight is getting low or else its the Reta. I dont think its the GH. Currently taking 4iu daily 2/2 morning and night.

I can tell you for a fact that my libido dropped as soon as I started GH

i suppose it could be the GH doing it to me, but only way to know for sure is drop it, and I bought enough for a couple years so Im probably not gonna be doing that lol

Growth hormone, prolactin, and sexuality - PubMed

GH and PRL, although not considered as 'classical' sexual hormones, could play a role in the endocrine control of sexual function both in men and women. Physiologically, PRL seems to be involved in the central control of sexual behavior and activity, by modulating mainly the effects of...

GH isn’t a classical sex hormone, but it interacts with the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis and may influence sexual response. A review notes that both GH deficiency and GH excess are linked to decreased desire and arousability.

I should note for anyone that’s curious I came back off for a couple days and titrated right back to the 3iu where I was at before. Libido is fantastic. Threw in an extra 30 test per week to my TRT maybe that’s what fixed it who knows lol.
