sorry about the caps. My keyboard was actin up.
Was that your first cycle?
Actually second. My first was pretty stupid(deca/dbol) cuz I didn't know that much and that was more than a year ago.
how old are you???/ im 32 and mine is low as well... 89 and the other scroe was 6, also my gh was very low like 0.1. im hoping for the doc to script me the 2 so i can use my insurance
That seems really odd. Maybe you should post your cycle and pct exactly so we can try to pinpoint what went wrong.
I'm 25. 10 weeks of test 500mg week/ 400mg deca/ 40mg dbol for the first 4 weeks. pct 18 days after the last injection of clomid 100mg and tapered to 50mg for 21 days.
nolva was taken during the whole cycle and pct. arimidex was taken .25mg too. I know I did this right cuz I went over it with you guys alot. On top of that I took tongkat ali though out pct and 2 months after.
wow, how do you feel?
3 months post pct, my test was 474 after first cycle of test c at 600mg/wk. Standard pct, too. My doc said he would script me GH without even testing my levels, but im 35. Ur insurance will pay for gh? Mine wont. that would be awesome to get free gh!Quote:

Honestly, I think I was stronger natural and kept all my gains. The thing I hate the most is I lose alot of gains after a cycle. I just want to keep my gains.
bump for this.Quote:

But i was having erection problems even before i started prep. for this show. As i said its been about 9 weeks since my show and things dont seem to be getting better. Still having erection problems and starting to feel very tierd and depressed more often.
I did a 10 week cycle of Test E and EQ 500/400 with arimidex during and clomid post cycle. I was 20 years old when i did this cycle. I really think this might be the reason for these problems now.
I have been running tongkat ali the past 3 weeks and doesnt seem to be helping. Any other suggestions would be great. I think im going to go visit an endo and get tested again in a month.
Ttt.
jinos try IGF-1 lr3 for PCT to keep gains. The best thing ive ever tried in regards to that
Thanks. Can I run it alone right now to get my nat. test levels up? I never really messed with any of that stuff before. Thanks
Yes you can. It would be easier to keep your gains as well.
The tongkat ali might have been the problem. These supplements can cause trouble and I never recommend their use. Then again, it might not have anything to do with your shitty recovery.Quote:

I recommend that you go ahead and start a new 4 week PCT.
PCT with Clomid:
Day 1-11: 100mg (optional, 300mg on day 1)
Day 12-21: 50mg
Day 22-28: 25mg
PCT with Novla:
Day 1-14: 40mg (60mg if using liquid version)
Day 15-28: 20mg (30mg if using liquid version)
Wait at least 4 weeks after PCT before getting new bloodwork done. Next set of bloodwork should include total/free testosterone and estradiol, sensitive.
What were the lab ranges for those blood tests? The numbers are meaningless without lab ranges.
You might have HRT in your future. If so, then send me a PM. I'm HRT as well.
Yes u can run it alone, but it wont get your natural test levels back up. It will prevent your muscles from going catabolic... thus slow down the loss of muscle. Great for PCT, i kept most of my muscle and strength. I wouldnt do PCT without it.

I didn't do hcg cuz it was only a 10 week cycle and alot of seniors on this site said there is no need for it unless you did 12 weeks or more. It was also said in the pct forum.Quote:

Well, the fact is we are all different, some guys are going to bounce right back, and some never do and wind up on TRT. But this has nothing to do with cycling test, it has to do with cycling AAS period, they all supress to a degree. I would follow the PCT outlined above by Mranak, see what happens, if it doesn't bring you back around then go see an endo spec, and get ready for TRT most likely.
I wonder why this happened to this dude! maybe the PCT time wasn't enough I guess.
IMO stay on PCT till your nuts work againa bro!
This is why I start up a light oral cycle after running anything really supressive.
I ran TBOL 50mg/day after my prop/tren cycle along with HCG during the switch and during PCT.
WTF? A supressed HTPA is why you run a supressive oral cycle? Now if you are saying you ran your orals right up to PCT, this is a normal practice, to run orals at any point past the beginning of PCT further supresses the HTPA, and it is in no way beneficial to post cycle recovery of the HTPA.Quote:

Exactly! Deca is _much_ more suppresive than testosterone.Quote:

Good question. Unfortuantely, I do not know the answer. I used to eat a somewhat calorie restricted diet....that could have been the cause. I also used Accutane years ago and I've observed that many of the young guys like me in the HRT forum also used Accutane and it wouldn't surprise me to find out the Accutane has negative and long term effects on testosterone production...at least in some people. But I really just don't know.Quote:

Alright guys I'm starting clomid all over again and we'll see how this goes. I'm pissed off cuz I just got some high humangrade test from a pharmacy and I'm afraid to use it later, but most likely I won't use it until I know my test levels are back. And even if they do come back I don't know if it's even worth it to do another cycle. I'm just one of those guys that takes a looooooong ass time to recover. That f%^&kin sucks.
I have a feeling the clomid will work very well for you. Pity as they say you didn't use some hcg.
Try the clomid. Aty least 4 weeks, push to 5-6 if necessary.
bump for an answer.Quote:

PCT looks good though.Quote:
