Hormone levels

Since coming off PCT i've been feeling lethargic, weak, depressed, loss of appetite, sex drive has diminished again, and i've lost a fair amount of size. I have even missed a couple of days in the gym because i simply cannot be fvcked, and this is the first time it has happened in the past 2 years. I almost got up from the bench today after 1 exercise and left the gym..

Could my hormone levels be fvcked?

Stats Bro? What PCT did you run and what was your last cycle?

Have you ever been on HRT?

Anything is possible. There's only one way to know and that's with getting your BW done.

I'd get a full lab done, including the CBC's, lipids, hormones, etc. If you're not feeling right, there's a number of variables that could be off. Could be something simple. Get it done right away and let us know.

Bloodwork x2.

Also, how long since you ended PCT? Definitely possible that you are not fully recovered. There are no guarantees with PCT. Sometimes it takes a while to bounce back.

Also, bump for Jim's questions.

You've provided absolutely no useful information to help us diagnose the issue..

a.) what was your last cycle, the duration, and what did it consist of exactly?

b.) what did your PCT consist of?

From what you've said, it sounds to me like you're relatively new to AAS, and you just completed a cycle, and now are experiencing PCT-depression/ post-PCT depression.

.... It's one of the most common sides in AAS usage... so anyone w/ any experience whatsoever should have a grasp of that...

I had a blood test this morning.

Growth Hormone, Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Progesterone, Prolactin, FSH/LH, LFT's, Eostrogen are what are being tested.

Test results came back, and my levels were all normal. I explained how i have been feeling to the doc and he has put me on 75mg DHEA per day and 100mg Testosterone cream per week to see if it helps pick me up a bit.

1000iu hCG per wk is fair amount, mayb u caused some slight desensitization
