Test came back super low (142) after long cycle and heavy pct. What's going on?

Stats:
Age: 24
Lifting experience: 3 years.
Starting weight 105 lbs (I know...)
Height, 5'2"
Weight 145 on cycle 132 off.
Bodyfat: 12%

I ran the following.

Test Enanthate 1-12 400MG/week
Dbol 1-4 25MG/day
Deca 1-12 200MG/week
Arimidex 1 EOD throughout cycle.

PCT
HCGenerate 1 month
Clomid 100/100/50/50/50
nolva 50/50/25/25/25

Test levels came back 142. Super low libido; can't maintain Erection but still have the desire to have sex.

What's going on?

Welcome,

142 what? lb/gal?

List your reference range as well and exactly how long you waited after PCT to test your results. Also need your baseline serum.

[mds7790]

Hi there! My doc just called and told me it was that. I am assuming that is the serum test? 142 ng/dl

[austinite]

Aright. You need to provide more info, mds. Contact the doc and have him/her send you full lab results.

To verify recovery, you will need your baseline blood work results. (Blood work prior to cycling steroids)

If you do not have your baseline, you cannot verify recovery. You can only determine if you're hypogonadal. So you need to provide testosterone, LH and FSH results.

Let us know when you have these.

[mds7790]

I will try to get those ASAP! But for the moment, let me say that my base was 598 ng/dl.

[austinite]

How long after PCT did you test?

Looks like you did not recover and developed hypogonadism.

[mds7790]

It was about 3 weeks after my last PCT. What could have caused the lack of recovery?

[austinite]

Many factors. Need blood work. Could be pituitary, testicular, etc. etc etc.

No blood work, no answers brother. No telling. LH and FSH will tell a lot and help start the search.

Thank you. Awesome pic btw.

Anything I can do in the meantime to prevent losing any additional muscle mass?

[austinite]

Why would you lose mass?

[Lunk1]

3 weeks is not long enough. I would wait 6 weeks min and especially after a Deca cyle..I would wait even longer. Try retesting in 3-4 weeks before you get bent about it!

I agree with everything, however, even 3 weeks after PCT his levels should not come back this low. He supposedly boosted GnRH, LH and FSH and should have testosterone flowing already.

Is your pct products from the lion?

[AD]

what was your pre-cycle level?

[austinite]

598 ng/dl.

dam, i am getting old

[DAAS]

should have used hcg on cycle. Did you wait 2 weeks after your last injection to start your pct?
If not your pct only lasted 1 week. not enough.

[DontTaseMeBro]

dam, i am getting old

ditto - I couldn't make 598 with 3 more balls.

[bass]

wow, that s terrible cycle for 24 year old, and terrible PCT!

[kelkel]

Me either.

Op, retest in another month or so.

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

I would look at the possibility of your PCT meds being garbage if nobody has mentioned that.

You mentioned you used a OTC test booster so your nolva/clomid being bunk or some type of OTC version wouldn't surprise me.

Just my speculation.

[Jonnyg419]

Dude I ran a very similar cycle to you last year with a similar PCT, except for the HCGenerate..that shit is garbage. I ran 25o iu shots of HCG while on cycle. After my cycle was done, my serum Test levels didn't return to normal for almost 6 months, don't want to scare you but everybody's biology is different. If another month goes by with these problems, run a second PCT and kick it off by blasting HCG, everybody has different methods, but the 5 days of 1000iu's a day jumpoff worked for me, followed by 6 weeks of clomid and nolva, 2 weeks after I finished that i got my blood work done and went from a serum of 172 to serum level of 911
