Test higher after first cycle.

[Complete novice]

Hello all

Not sure if this is in the right section, hopefully it is.

I have low testosterone levels and after trying the wipes, nebido and test E, I didn't feel any different so I thought I'd try my first ever cycle. I did Test E 250mg twice a week for 12 weeks, 0.5 armidex every other day, did use hcg at around the 4 week stage at 500iu on the days I had my test, but I couldn't get any bac water or an empty vial from anywhere or any helpful advice on other alternatives and so used the same needle over and over which was stored in the fridge and I just didn't feel right doing that (1, having a needle in the fridge hidden away from the family behind my cottage cheese and 2, using the same needle) and so after 3 shots I stopped the hcg, my testes didn't come back whilst using this either.

Blood test before cycle: 6.5 nmol/l (normal range 7.6 – 31)

During cycle on the day I was due my injection 80> nmol/l (normal range 7.6 – 31)

My PCT was tamoxifen only 40/40/20/20 for 4 weeks, my last week was last week and I had an appointment with my endo so had a blood test. I got the results and my testosterone is now: 19.7 nmol/l (normal range 7.6 – 31)

Apart from when I was on treatment or cycle, this is the highest reading I have ever had and 3 times higher than before I started the cycle.

Could this be my new level or just coz my hormoans are all messed up???

Your levels are higher now because you still have the tamoxifen in your system.
You should test your level no earlier than 6 weeks after you stop your PCT

Ok thanks for the response, I have another appointment in 3months so will have more bloods done before then.

I had higher test free and total after my first cycle... 6 weeks after PCT I did my tests. It's possible as TDD said though the tamoxifen skewed your tests.
