Mistakenly started AS at 18 (6 months ago), Stopped after 4 weeks. Now what?

[EquilibriumZ]

I was 18 and I made a mistake of starting Test prop without having much information on steroids, no pct and etc (May 2011). I used 8 mls/ 800mg test in 4-5 weeks ( dont remember exactly) and stopped it that time. From then till now, I ve had gains and strength continues to increase by correcting diet and working out religiously. I know I made a mistake of doing it but I did not have much information. Now that I m learning , I m worried about the mistake I made before.

My question is that, is it possible to know if I have damaged myself in anyway such as test level and endocrine system? What should be done? Blood work?

[Brohim]

I wouldn't worry about using 800mg in 4 weeks. If that is all you used your body should have healed itself in 6 month's. If you want to know for sure get a blood test with total testosterone and free testosterone that will tell you.

[DanB]

you will prob be fine. . . . .there be no harm in getting bloodwork done to be sure

[OnTheSauce]

yeah that's not a lot, a lot of people run that in a week. good for stopping and learning. I'm sure you'll be fine.

[JohnnyVegas]

That is the same as my TRT dose, assuming you did a consistent 200mg/wk. That dose WILL shut you down. Get blood work done if you really want to see how you recovered.

[DCannon]

Pat yourself on the back for stopping. I wish more guys your age would do research and realise what you did.

is that so?

that is more than enough to shut someone down.

[dec11]

That is what I said above as well. At least there are two of us now and it won't be lost in a sea of "no harm done" responses.

My first cycles were at 17 and 18. Just because your initial blood work shows that you are recovered does not mean you are out the woods. After my last cycle at 18 I had blood work at the 1 month , 6 month, and 12 month marks. All came back showing high normal ranges. Years following I began to have what I now know are symptoms of low T.

Congrats on stopping. Yes get blood work done cause you may still have issues you can't feel that will limit your natural growth.

Thank you all for your answers. I tried to look up what to look for in a bloodwork and got lost in it.
So besides total testosterone and free testosterone, what else do I have to test?

I'd get your LH hormone checked too. Are you feeling any low-testosterone symptoms?

You're probably fine, so don't worry. But still get it checked it out so you don't come down with problems later on.

I mistakenly f****d my neighbors wife... :/

But jokes aside, you should be fine if you were only on it for 4 weeks...
