Low test cycle

**vikingblood** · 03-13-2014, 12:31 PM

Ok guys, so I went to a anti again clinic a few months back and got BW done. My test level came back at 343 and I am 27, that is low for my age. So the doc said she wanted to try and naturally raise it with HCG and GHRP-6 which I have done for 2 months, I don't feel any better. So I contacted her again and asked if I could be on a test treatment, she said yes but at 100MG a week. The good thing is she will send it to me in the mail. My question is how should should I run this? Should I save the first month and then start when I have enough to cycle 400mg a week? Any cycle ideas would be appreciated, I have read the beginner cycle thread and I wanted to run something very similar. Lastly I strictly olymplic weight lift and crossift and my goals are to be competitive at that. My current stats are.

I am 27 yrs. old, Male,
6ft
212#.
12.5% BF

Lifts
Deadlift-405
Back squat-385
Bench-305
Press-205
mile run-7:30
Snatch-225
Clean and jerk-285

So you have low test and your doc is helping you and you immediately want to mess with it before fixing the problem? Are you going to continue running hcg ? What about an AI?

I am going to run it but I heard most docs give to low of a dose to do anything, I was prescribed 100MG per week Test, HCG , and Armidex ever other week. I am guessing I dont need a PCT for TRT because it is such a low dose. With this shut me down still?

TRT is permanent I advise you hold off and gain some knowledge of what you are doing its clear you have no clue.

why not take the Dr.'s advice and get to healthy levels. Who knows you may get the gains your looking for. 100mg is going to shut you down. Get "better" and see how you do then if you decide to cycle, do what you wish. No PCT needed if you do, just go back to your normal 100mg/week.

I no I am low 343 is low considering 650+ is average. I will just run 100mg a week and see how I feel. How long until you feel it working?

Are you prepared for the possibility of not having children? I'm not saying this will happen but it is possible.

I have done my research and the not being able to have kids is a possible side affect but that is in a very small percent. It is also almost always reversible as well with proper treatment.

100mg/week is a good starting point for TRT. By the sounds of it though, it seems like you're wanting to do this short term (cycle). That's not how TRT works. It will definitely shut you down and requires what is probably a lifetime commitment, so think wisely before you start.

Have you cycled before? Have bloodwork to compare to? You may have low T due to a weak PCT.

**vikingblood** · 03-13-2014, 07:49 PM

I have never cycled before, I do feel I have low T but I think I will just try to naturally boost it and save my trt gear and run a cycle or 2. Seems like I may have under estimated trt. Plus I do want kids with in 2 years. So starting trt now would not be worth it, or fair to my wife who really wants kids in the next year or so. Doc did say I could raise it naturally but I pushed for test. So I may have jumped the gun. Thanks for all the reps, Redz and Frawnz.

How about finding a competent doc, not a clinic, and find the actual root cause of your low T and fix it. You're 27, odds are there's something suppressing your natural production. Whether it's something you took yourself or one of the many other causes of low T such as hypothyroid, pathologies, head or testicular trauma, prolactin or cortisol issues.

Point is simple. "You have low T" is not a competent diagnosis. Finding the root cause would be. I highly suggest you do so. Get straightened out and then if you want to cycle, have at it in the future.
