**xnotoriousx** · 07-12-2010, 04:07 PM

Sup fellas long time no see...

I've ran one cycle in the past

dbol 40ed
teste 500w

pct was clomid+nolva

Didn't get my test checked before I ran it because i'm an idiot and didn't want to spend the money should I be alot higher then what i'm at? Just looking for some opinions

Doctor says it's normal but the range I found online says 350-1000 so it seems like it's on the lower end of normal.

**ottomaddox** · 07-12-2010, 04:42 PM

There are a lot of different ranges, my labs are from 225ng/dl to 1100ng/dl for low to high.

**G4R** · 07-12-2010, 04:47 PM

Yeah, the ranges vary from place to place. But if your doc says its in the normal range, then you are good.

The number is just a number to a point.. You can be at the lower end of the number range and have a sex drive like a maniac and feel perfectly fine...I think a lot of people think if your test number slightly low they should jump on hrt...not saying you, just people in general. If you feel fine, and everythings working fine I think your good...480 is normal range...

**bigboomer** · 07-12-2010, 05:52 PM

I'm sure you will be doing blood work before and after any upcoming cycles ...

**THE_DOME** · 07-12-2010, 07:47 PM

well dude I had a 370 test level and my doc told me not to worry becuase of how big i am as far as muscle mass

**xnotoriousx** · 07-12-2010, 08:06 PM

I feel a little better now... Only reason I was concerned is because i've started working out again and I don't seem to be getting my power and shape back in the time I normally do. Granted my diet and training can be brought up a little but generally my results don't seem the same as I remember before going on cycle and coming off.

I'd love to run another cycle but i'm to worried of becoming sterile so I have to hold off and do it natty but man it seems like progress is slower now then it was before going on cycle, i'm thinking my natty test took a hit from the cycle.

I went to the doc for a check up and asked him to check my test levels and all my portal shows is total test

**stevey_6t9** · 07-13-2010, 08:14 AM

i meant did u get blood work before your cycle to compare with after cycle blood work

How long since you finished your cycle? It can take a year to regain full function of your HPTA. I think the fact that you do feel different than before may be due to a lower test level than you had pre cycle. Jmo

**Swifto** · 07-13-2010, 11:34 AM

480ng/dl is fine at 26 IMHO.

Finished PCT around December. Yeah I think that may be the case unfortunately. Not that i'm going to look into hrt over it or anything because bottom like is I was dumb/broke and didn't get blood work done pre-cycle.

Coming from you, I definitely feel better.

Yes most doctors would say your in the normal range.
Most bodybuilders/athletes would beg to differ though.

**xnotoriousx** · 07-13-2010, 08:52 PM

well what range would they consider "normal" then?

I'd be interested to know what your total T is after low dose Arimidex or Aromasin for 5-6 weeks. It should increase.

**xnotoriousx** · 07-14-2010, 05:57 AM

I'm thinking about running 8 weeks of Tbol with nolva for pct.

I have some arimidex left from my last cycle. Why would that push it up and what dose should I take?

**Swifto** · 07-14-2010, 09:24 AM

Tbol will lower your endogenous testosterone production mate.

If your wanting to increase it, Arimidex 0.5mg/EOD or Aromasin 10mg/ED or EOD IMHO, for around 5-6 weeks.

By changing the androgen:estrogen ratio, your endo. T will increase.
