PCT NOT Doing the TRICK!

[sasman]

I have been reading as much as i can about the PCa and BHP..... I am a 23 y/o ex football player who was using w/o a proper knowledge base while in school. now that i am finished with football... I have realized i still love to lift and stay big. I took around 8 cycles while playing and have lots of trouble keeping my gains even with pct, it seems to only take a couple of months before i shrink up. So as you can imagine i want to turn around and take another cycle, however at this point in my life i need to think of my future football is over and being healthy is very important.

In my opinion my main concern was the prostate b/c not being able to have sex again, or a nut would be devistating. so my research and time was spent in reading about this first. Now i am under the impression that the test itself isn't the problem.... it the estrogen and have heard suggestions of taking an anti-estrogen, which i already take while cycling. but if i understand right i should take it... for my living everyday life.

also i realize that i am only 23 so these feeling about the anti-estrogen my be different for me....but take into account that i lose my gains so quickly. This may be an indicator that my natural test levels are low. and that could be a problem that most have later in life.

obviously these levels could be low from several reasons....but prob. my use of steroids. I use HCG 500 iu day/3weeks and 10 mg nolva a day/ during the cycle and 20 a day/6 wks after.... for my PCT

I have never got my blood work done which i realize i need to do.... but i have received a ultrasound....just to check out my liver it was not fatty at all. I am not really worried about my liver so much b/c i don't really drink and my cycle dosages that i took were so small. I also eat healthy which would keep my cholesterol is good shape..... my BP goes up while on and runs in the 130/65 range now.... is that a prob yet.... should i be on a ACE inhibitor while on.... also what things are important to pay attention too concerning my kidneys.

i am just trying to figure things out before i go rnning into another cycle..... i would really like to do 1-2 cycles a year if it is safe if not i can hold back... but it is very hard for me...b/c i lose my gains so quickly. do you have any ideas for me or any concerns that you have with my life style...things that i should beu more cautious with.....please help me fellas.

Seems to me you doing things right. I would get a full panel of blood work done and go from there.

As far as you keeping gains, it would be my guess it is diet and training dependent that caused you to loose you previous gains.

^ Agreed. You are probably not eating enough to keep the weight you have gained. Also, as far as your prostate concerns you should take finasteride or dutasteride as dht is the culprit of prostate problems. And if you are gonna take one of these then a AI should for sure be used as dht lowers estrogen.
