    what signs to look for to tell u your natural test is back to normal after PCT?

    Is sex drive a good indication? What are the other signs for knowing your natural test is where you want it to be? (besides blood work) tell tale signs?

    I want to say feeling "stable" if that makes any sense? Hard to explain man but if bloods are in check that's what counts as the hard facts on paper... But yes it's a stable feeling sex drive back to normal, moods how they were before, any sides picked up are gone etc etc!

    There is only one way to know and thats blood work, its vital to have BW before and after to make sure everything is back to normal anything else is just guess work

    It sounds abstract and somewhat disorganized, but I agree. That feeling of overall wellness is generally a key indicator for me. However, "feelings" are never enough; bloodwork is also the ultimate answer.

    If the Dick is working then that is definitely a step in the right direction. The trib will help your libido (if necessary) but it won't increase your LH or Tes production.

    "Tell tale signs" - libido good, sense of well being (not depressed), energy level up

    "To know for sure" - Blood work

    DO NOT go by ur penis where ur test is concerned. when i was diagnosed with low test my total test was: 349 (348-1197) and my free test was: 7.3 (8.7-25.6) and i was having sex with my wife every single day with no erectile probs nor libido issues to the point she was skeptical of the lab work.

    GET BLOODWoRK DUDE!!! u dont wanna half ass ur health!

    Thanks for the lowdown 405, would it still be worth me getting my blood work done even if I didnt get it done before I started my cycle (because I didnt Lol)

    What exactly is it you ask your doctor for. The technical name for blood work?

    YES DUDE get ur blood work done. while itd be good to be able to compare ur baseline levels with ur post cycle levels there are still "normal" reference ranges that will tell u if ur levels have come back up to where they need to be.

    it is a little late now but u should have known all this stuff BEFORE u ran a cycle man! i hope ur a lot more thorough and responsible in the future!

    u need at least free testosterone, total testosterone, estradiol IMO. other more experienced guys with post cycle blood work should prob be able to advise u better.

    Yeah your right I didn't do enough homework before I started my cycle. Cheers for the advice. Im not planning on running another cycle, I didn't really understand how complex taking steroids is before I ran this cycle, but hey you live and learn.

    I will have see about getting some Blood work done. When is best to get the test done, straight after PCT? Or wait a few weeks?

    Agree with the above. This is not something you want to play a guessing game with. Bloodwork will move you in the right direction. Good luck.
