    Low test after cycle for TRT thrrapy

    I'm on a Test C250 12 week cycle, my first cycle ever. I'm seeing big gains! Can I go to the dr right after I come off this cycle and have my test levels checked by a family dr, my levels obviously will be low from cycle and get TRT prescribed to me?? Thanks Greg

    He should/will probably notice your LH and FSH are tanked.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    what were your levels before doing this cycle ? heck you may not recover that well and have to get on TRT for life anyways . but AG is right, if you go in too soon he will see your LH and FSH are tanked and he'll know you just did a cycle or he may think there are other problems going on (perhaps pituitary brain cancer.. next thing you know he's sending you off to go get your brain scanned). nah, I wouldn't F with it

    At your age, I doubt you will rebound to "natural" Test level without PCT. ("Natural" level could be at a TRT level) I would complete my cycle wait two to three weeks before I go see the doc. Your exogenous Test level would have dropped significantly and your body will have some time to naturally bring FSH and LH will have some time to climb back out of the gutter.

    TRT's not bad. One poke a week and you feel great. It's a trade off I made a long time ago with no regrets.

    Just for clarification, I didn't jump onto TRT for the Anabolic benefits. My Test was low so I decided I was tired of feeling like a 100 y/o man so I took up the needle.

    OK scotch guard so give it a month after my cycle ends and I'll be safe to go see Dr? That will give my other levels time to come back up? Keep in mind I'll start a PTC 18 days after my Test C cycle ends. Should I complete my PCT before hitting the dr to test test levels?? Thanks

    if your dead set on wanting to get on TRT .. then when your cycle is over don't bother doing a PCT

    I got you gearhead. I see what your saying. I'm interested to see where my natural levels are at after a PCT. And then go from there. I'm really not dead set on anything. But if the dr told me your T levels suck and I'm giving you Cypionate , I wouldnt cry about it. I started this C250 only 23 days ago and haven't felt this good in years.. maybe ever. Thanks

    Yes u can. I did. Only way to get trt. In Norway that is.

    But two disclaimers. U have to do the halflife math and make sure u do the test at the lowest before your own testies start working again.

    Rules here are that doc needs two results. So i had to repeat 6 months later.
    In addition to the conversation where i said i was tired all the time, no sexdrive etc etc..

    Theoretically there's no reason as to why you wont get a TRT prescription.

    Not sure where your from, but I would have thought your doctor will refer you to an endo to run further tests.. so there a chance you could bounce back enough to be within their guidelines (usually shit) within the time frame from the initial blood work to the endo's test so watch out for that!

    And that's the part that drives me nuts. If a GP can't properly evaluate the need for hormone replacement and handle it accordingly he needs to crack open a book now and then. It's not rocket science by a long shot.

    Completely agree!!

    Females get HRT there and then, no referrals!!!!!
