Testicle atrophy - story/questions/advice?

[Thuntfx2]

Hi everyone I'm having an issue post steroid use and would like some answers, advice, and suggestions. I'm not going to write this post formal, so I'll be using words easy to understand like "balls" and "nut", instead of scientific terms like testicle and semen. My problem is small balls. I'll start by giving my steroid story.

Being a college sophomore (age 20) at the time and weighing in at a whopping 128 pounds at 5"11 I was insecure with my physique and to say the least tired of being a shrimp. This led me to do some research on steroid use and side effects and after understanding the risks I decided that for me, the benefits out weighed the risks. I started my first cycle of Sust (test blend), 1cc every 6 days, which gave me incredible results I picked my weight up to 175 at its peak and gave me some much needed facial/body hair. It was excellent. I went from that skinny guy that everybody ****ed with to that "step on my shoes in the club get slapped in your mouth"... I loved the results. Anyway, I didn't run any PCT whatsoever on my first cycle due to a long story I really don't want to explain (don't flame me). Not even a month after finished the sust I started A stack cycle Test E + Deca. This cycle was ignorant because of the abuse of not doing PCT or having a rest period. This second cycle got me back to 175, gave side effects that I hadn't had before, terrible back acne, sprained my rotator cuff in the gym, ball shrinkage to name a few. The injury caused me to lose more weight cause I couldn't gym and basically the cycle was a waste. I remained around the 160 area for awhile while I was not gyming and basically just experienced the deca dick and negative side effects while I finished up. I finished the cycle with a PCT of Nolva like I was instructed to do so. This is where my problems arise....

I'd first like to say that I am still very happy with my decision to use steroids, although I wish I would have been smarter about using them and gyming. I have since turned 21, my acne has cleared, my rotator cuff is healed although slightly pops occasionally, and I have maintained a very lean and cut 155 that I am satisfied with. My only problem is my nuts. My nuts shrank to what I'd like to call 50% of what they were before steroids. Which is okay with me if size were the only problem because I was blessed with big nuts, but it's not, it's performance as well. I am not having any trouble getting or maintaining a wood, but when I nut it is miserable. My orgasms suck! I used to unload a load to fill maybe a shot glass.... And it felt soooo good. Now I am looking at a couple drips and drops of just some really thick shit. I need some advice or help. I am worried about my fertility and I want my bigger nuts back. I don't have any symptoms of low T and at the time it's not a big enough problem to see a doctor or have bloodwork. Just give me some input... My last cycle has ended about 4-5 months ago. Is it too early for my Ball size to come back? Is it to late for me to take HCG cycle? Should I take more Nolva now? Also, my left nut has always been a tad smaller than my right nut, which is normal, and it still is proportionally smaller. But I am also worried my left nut might be dead because even on days when my balls (ball) feel juicy when I haven't gotten any in awhile, my right nut is the only nut that fluctuates. Advice please!

I would do BW if I were you.
if your LH is weak, I would do 4 weeks of Nolva/Clomid. (20mg/50mg ED)
If your LH is good (4), I would do 20 days of HCG/Nolva (1000iu EOD/20mg ED)

Since it has been the time it's been, 4-5 months... Are my balls at permanent damage and will nolva/HCG even still be useful at this stage. I've studied the Nolva and have experience taking it, I'm not too familiar with HCG.

There is no way of knowing if any damage is done or if it´s permanent. Shrunk balls does not mean damage.
Yes Nolva/HCG will be useful even after 5 months, but not if you are experiencing Pituitary failure.
Go get BW, so you don´t have to guess. You should be doing BW anyway before and after a cycle.

sticky for newbies?

How long after the cycle should bloodwork be done?

I do BW about once/month or whenever I feel different. If you can only do BW once, I´ve seen 1 month post PCT been said, but I would say 2 months is a better gauge. Homeostasis can take much longer, everybody is different.
