350 mg/week test E only...

[SLJohn]

I've been on for 12 weeks. Since such a small dose, is a 12 week off cycle really necessary? I've been off for 2 weeks now, but am wanting to get back on/reload for another 8 weeks. I feel fine, no side effects. Please excuse my ignorance on the subject. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

You need to practice time on cycle + pct = time off, this is a good time for your natural test to return and stabilise. Doesn't matter if you used 350 or 500 you have still been shut down. So if you did a 12 week cycle plus 4 wk pct you need to have off after pct 16 wks before considering shutting down your natural test again.

Thanks for the quick response, Marcus. Any problems of being on for another 8 weeks with such a small dose though? Again, it's just TestE about 350ish mg (closer to 300)/week, no orals. From the research I've done, doesn't seem to be any. This is a "cruising" dose for some people it seems?

As of now, my only concern is the wife and I are looking to conceive for a second child around October, so I will get off with PCT a good 3 to 6 months before. Any other concerns I should worry about besides that? Is blood work necessary with such a small dose?

Just stick with the 12 weeks and come off and do pct, doesn't matter if your running 350mgs or 500mgs your still shut down, come off and recover and wait time on + pct = time off

you can get shut down with 80mgs a week. do what Marcus has suggested.

OK, here's my question asked in another way... whether I'm shut down for 12 weeks or 20 weeks... I'll be able to bounce back with proper PCT no problems either way since I'm on 350ish/week Test E only? <- what buddies are telling me, but I'd love to hear it from guys on the forums too.

Thanks again in advance for the help.

the reason they are telling you to stop now and pct is that even after 12 weeks there is absolutely no guarantee you will recover even with the "perfect" pct protocol...but the longer you stay on the more difficult/impossible it can become to recover fully...

The longer you are suppressed the more difficult recovery becomes.

Yes you still need some time off. Even with 300mg wk you have suppressed natural HPTA
so follow a proper PCT.
