my meals are clean and consist of mult vit, peanuts, fruits, vegetables, black olive, chicken breast, fish, beans, eggs. i never fry my food! they are either boiled,barbecued, grilled, roasted or steamed. now how can i fix these values? what went wrong? do i need to do another externsion to PCT? as you can see my total test before cycle is on the lower side of the range....i was surprized at that time doc said your test is good since its in fact in the range even though i did point out my testosterone is low for my age and thats before my 1st cycle and now its even lower

did a second pct and will do BW after a month

Cholesterol in your diet has very little impact on blood cholesterol. 10% at best. Drug companies even advertise this fact as a reason why you should take their drugs!

Low test was bad PCT. Your E2 is through the roof. Rebound E2 from discontinuing AI? Anyway, that is where a lot of your T is going too.

so what caused the cholesterol to elevate if its not diet? my pct was 4wks of nolva 40/20/20/20 and clomid 100/50/50/50. started PCT 1 wk after my last shot. was using Adex during the cycle at 0.5mg EOD and discontinued right after my last shot. if you are asking if i run AI during PCT then no i didnt. i thought running adex and nolva in conjuction will reduce adex effect?

breathing issue when am relaxed and turning into panic attacks if it continues more than a minute. did a CO2 test and showed a high level of carbon dioxide being above range. i made up my mind with smoking and bodybuilding and decided to dedicate myself towards health and YES i quit cigs now.

**turkishexpress** · 05-15-2011, 12:44 AM

Where did you get your cpt products from? Panic attacks probably had little to do with the test e. Cholesterol being high is normal as your lipids will be way out of wack when on most AASs. While your test levels are low go get test cyp prescribed by your doc...

**kml999** · 05-15-2011, 02:17 AM

what do you mean by cpt products?
Endo refused to prescribe me anything yet and told me to come again after 2 months for doing a hormone test again.

**turkishexpress** · 05-15-2011, 10:44 PM

Sorry typo... I meant PCT products.

Find a doctor in your area that deals with rejuvenation therapy, TRT etc... they are easier to get stuff prescribed from.

**kml999** · 05-16-2011, 04:32 AM

PCT was nolva and clomid from local pharmacy (its all hg)! adex was from a UGL though that i bought from Europe

**turkishexpress** · 05-17-2011, 04:40 PM

Dayum, surprised your levels didn't come back to something more acceptable. Might have to incorporate HCG next time.

**kml999** · 05-19-2011, 01:32 PM

thats what i will use next time, but need to recover first!

**robschuh** · 06-03-2011, 02:16 AM

I highly doubt any MD is going to put a 28 year old on Test Replacement therapy unless he has a real medical condition.

**InsaneInTheMembrane** · 06-07-2011, 10:07 PM

Thats the thing with long esters, they can stay lodged in muscle tissue a long time despite their half life... 1.5 months after PCT may still not represent homeostasis

As I grow older (having done countless cycles), i am beginning to prefer short estered cycles of 6-8 weeks over long estered ones.

Your estrogen is very high, your aromatase levels are still very high... i suggest you launch a new round of PCT with aromasin (to kill off some aromatase enzymes), nolvadex (to block estrogen expression, improve blood lipid values and stimulate HPTA axis) and proviron (to boost free test and temporarily maintain your libido)

**kml999** · 06-08-2011, 06:05 AM

i already did a 2nd round of PCT which was:
days 1-16: 20 nolva/50 clomid
days 17-24: 20 nolva/50 clomid/12.5 EOD aromasin
then i had to get off since i had to do a surgery....am back from the hopsital and spending some time at home to recover. will do BW test after 1-1.5 months from now to see where am standing

and yea about the short ester theory i did think about it a while back , but am not sure if am ready to do ED/EOD injections yet

From what I have read and also found with my latest test that using and AI like Adex and especially Dbol will screw with your cholesterol levels big time. OMG you should have seen mine. LOL

i could agree with you here lovbyts since my hdl/ldl/cholesterol values were whacked during cycle too!

**kml999** · 07-07-2011, 01:11 PM

here are my results to compare from:

My baseline (natural)
estradiol 1.7 pg/ml (men <62pg/ml)
lh 4.81 miu/ml (male 2-12)
fsh 4.06 miu/ml (1.0-8.0)
total test 3.51 (3.0-10.6)

after cycle:
Estradiol 78.76 (7.63-42.6)
lh 2.23 (1.7-8.6)
fsh 1.56 (1.5-12.4)
total test 1.55 (2.8-8.0)

after 2nd pct
estradiol 69.14 (7.63-42.6)
lh 2.51 (1.7-8.6)
fsh 2.21 (1.5-12.4)
total test 1.67 (2.8-8.0)

what should i do next to recover? some told me to use hcg and aromasin ? and some told me just to do nolva alone? now which should i follow?

**lovbyts** · 07-31-2011, 06:57 AM

The aromasin should help with the estradiol/E2 levels. I have not re tested yet but I can tell I have come down. Mine were 295 (7.63 - 42.6) Yes really. Nope, no gyno, no ED but no night time or morning wood, only wood on demand. After less than 2 weeks back to night time, morning and after noon nap wood.
