Hey everyone,
I just got some blood work done. I am 7.5 weeks post pct. I would appreciate any interpretation. Regarding LH, FSH and total test. Am I in the normal range for having completed pct 2 months ago? Anything else I should know? I feel back to normal now and have been getting good workouts in and have a solid libido. I attached 2 screen shots of the results. Thanks guys :)

Your test is certainly low. Do you have pre cycle bloodwork to compare it?
It definitely seemed low to me. Unfortunately I don't have pre cycle bloods. I didn't find out the importance until I had already started my cycle. Any guess on what it should be at 2 months past pct? I took these bloods tests at 2 pm (I know testosterone is highest in am). I ran a standard pct with nolva and clomid.

everyone responds different and some rake longer to recover. Did you run labs within the first couple hours of waking?Quote:

I'm not in a rush for another cycle but what range would you recommend my numbers be at to safely cycle in the future? Thanks man!
run labs first thing after waking then you will see your peak level. You need to give yourself proper time off to ensure a full recovery. Time on plus pct equals time offQuote:

There's no golden rule on how long it takes to recover. I'd wait and retest in another month or so and this time first thing in the morning. Patience.
Curious, did you run HCG during cycle?
Thanks for the advice Kelkel! I ran hcg from around week 5-16 and then ran it during the 2 week break between my last injection and the start of pct (stopped 3 days before pct started). Should I get another female hormone panel in a month or a test that checks total and free testosterone?
Probably just T and FT. LH/FSH are fine and your boys may just need time to catch up.
Thanks man. I appreciate t. I order labs for test and free test. Not sure if you will see this or not. But is there anything from my labs that could cause shortness of breath? My rbc got high on cycle so I started donating blood. I've done it numerous times during and after my cycle. I take a baby aspirin every morning and am always well hydrated. I saw some guys saying cholesterol can cause shortness of breath. Diet is good. Lots of healthy fats, protein and lower carb. Sodium is kept low as well. Do you have any ideas? Thanks again
Simply cycling itself can cause that. Lots of adaptations going on inside you when you run exogenous substances such as these. Tren being notorious for cardio / lipid issues. Think about it, if you quickly gain 10-20 lbs in 10-12 weeks or so it's not an easy thing on your body.
Makes sense my friend thank you. I assume things will balance out over time. I won't worry about it. Just was confused since rbc seemed to be in line. Have you ever had respiratory issues on and or off cycle? What did you to do remedy it?
Always keep an eye on your BP as well. Only time I really notice anything is if my hematocrit is elevated or if I run Tren. I just expect it with Tren, even low dose as i don't run large amounts of it.
I check my BP everyday. It has been elevated for about the last month so that's why I thought it was a rbc issue. I saw your comment about taking citrulline for BP so I've been doing that. I did a test deca cycle with fairly low doses. Since my rbc was on the low end, I assume donating more blood wouldn't be a benefit anymore.
