Next Cycle should I start?

**esca_laid** · 07-27-2009, 06:13 PM

Before my previous cycle in January I was off for 18 months. It was 12wks on and 5wk PCT.

For my next cycle I wana start today, which will now have been 13 wks off since end of PCT. (18wks off since end of cycle). Is this enough time off? Or should I wait a few more weeks?

You could get your bw's done lol, that would tell you for sure...

By the book no, haha. The only way to know for sure is blood work.

If your blood work is "perfect" then you can start your cycle.

the reason most of us wait the amount of time we do is because we do not want to pay the hundreds of dollars every time for bloodwork! If you had it done and all your levels are back to stock!

Then I would have started a month ago. When I'm off it's a race against time. I wait 4 weeks after PCT is over and get bloodwork. If I'm still suppressed I'll wait another month and retest. If I'm still suppressed, which hasn't happened yet, then I'll run another shorter PCT and retest. If I'm still suppressed after that then it's TRT for life.

I'm looking forward to that day anyway. I hate cycling on and off. Good pharma grade PCT meds, not research chems, and supps aren't cheap either. It adds up. I'd rather run a low dose of test in-between cycles and cruise but as long as I can restore HPTA function I'll do the 'responsible' thing and cycle on and off.
