Need Help! T3 Problem!!!

**lewis_earnest** · 02-12-2006, 06:36 PM

Ok I'm 25 years old 6'3 normally between 220 and 230 (or I've been that weight for the last couple of years). I just got on my first ever cycle in December but since I wanted to lose some body fat I ordered some T3. I'm running 400 mg of Test Prop and 400 mg of EQ. I'm definately getting bigger in my quads and chest but my stomach is growing a pot belly! I used the T3 for a month and then quit at that time I weighed 226 and the last day I used it was December 31. I've been gaining weight ever since I got off the T3 and I've been on the same diet and work out routine. Today I weighed 242lbs. Is there anyway the horror stories of T3 shutting down your thyroid could have happened to me? And if so what can be done and what kind of doctor do you go to get it checked out? Any Info would help me out greatly!

Anyone?

Are you still on cycle>? How is your diet?

**Igifuno** · 02-12-2006, 07:51 PM

how did you run the T3, how long were you on it, how did you come off?

I got the squirt kind from ars and I started out slow only using 2 squirts a day for the first 4 days about 5 hours apart then I upped my way to 3 squirts when I woke up and 3 around 3 P.M. I didn't see much results so I just quit it one day and still have a little left. My diet is not great but I stay away from lots of carbs and take in about 2500 calories a day

oh I ran it for about a month

What kind of cardio do you do?

~SC~

**lewis_earnest** · 02-12-2006, 08:08 PM

Not as much as I should. I play basketball pretty hard about twice a week and maybe a mile jog once a week. The problem I'm having is everything is the same as it's always been for me, Diet, Cardio, Weight lifting, the only varibles are the AAS and the T3 I took. I'm still on the AAS cycle but I just quit the T3. It seems impossible to pack on 16 pounds of muscle in 1 month just working out 3 times a week doesn't it? I guess I'm just kinda scared about the whole Thyroid Shutting down.

The chances of it shutting down are near non-existant.

Did your monitor your BBT before/during usage? Have you monitored it since?

Sadly, I'm guessing not. Do so this week and let us know where you stand... grab some t-100x if you're worried and see how you respond. If you're colder than normal (BBT-wise) after the next couple weeks, go see your Doc/Endo...

ok I just started checking my body temp today orally. Should I do it under the arms? But I checked it 4 times....at 8 A.M. 97.3....11 A.M. 97.7....3 P.M. 97.5 and at 10 P.M. 97.5! I know the average body temp is around 98.6 but is that 1 degree a concern? Thanks alot

**lewis_earnest** · 02-14-2006, 08:37 AM

Do a search for it. Its a supplement that in short feeds your thyroid.

Bro, relax. That's around what mine is in the morning usually... monitor it over a period of days... don't freak out because of a day or two.

Additionally, be aware that most people don't in fact have an avg. BBT of 98.6... usually lower.
