    Did my bloodwork in my 3rd week of PCT

    Yes I know, it was wrong and I should have waited until at least a month after PCT and I know the bloodwork is just going to prove the clomid/nolva 50/20 is working (or not). I ran HCG during my cycle 250iu 2x/wk. My cycle was tren /mast/prop for 8.5 weeks.

    I really wish I had visited this forum before because there is great knowledge here and some really amazing members who help people interpret their bw.

    One of the reasons I ran the cycle was because I felt my natural T was down. In fact, I think my natural T has been down for the last 2-3 years. I'm 32, 183.8lbs, 11.4% BF (while measured on cycle, probably a little higher now). I've run a number of cycles over the last 12 years but none of them were long and each had proper PCT. In anycase, I visited the ARR sponsor website, called in, went into Labcorp and gave blood. The whole process literally took about 1 hour.

    Now my concern is that my bw is going to be worthless. I won't qualify for their program and if I do, my test will appear to be much higher than would be if I had waited a while after my PCT so that my body normalized. And I've been in this game long enough to know better... but that sponsor just made it so easy that I didn't take the time to think.

    On a more serious note, my libido is messed up. My sex drive is totally and completely gone. During the middle of my cycle, it was the complete opposite (ridiculous). And I'm single in the dating game and even with my yellow and blue friends, I can't perform with confidence, much less the desire. If it is even possible, any advice about how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

    Anyways, just for the sake of science, I will post my BW when I get it on Friday. I looked and looked through the forum for a thread similar to this one, but it seems very few people were dumb enough to get bw while on the tail-end of their PCT.

    Got the phone call today - my test came up in the 900's and free test was 1200's. If my levels are in the normal range, why am I haven't issues with my sex drive and libido? When I was on-cycle, my sex drive was out of control. Anyone has ideas?

    Sex drive is about far more than just testosterone . Right now your hormones are in flux - read confused. We'd be throwing darts and guessing right now as to what exactly is the cause. Consider some cialis to help you out during this time period. Other than that, you just have to wait it out. I'd wait at least 6-8 weeks after pct for your next BW.

    And your levels may currently be in a "normal" range but they are not normal and will not remain there. They are hyper-stimulated by serms and once removed will calm down and find their actual norm.

    kelkel, thank you for the feedback. I will wait 6 weeks after my PCT (since the cycle was only 8.5 weeks), and get my bloodwork done again.

    Putting it in the calendar now.

    I'm hanging in here... Just wanted to post an update since I'm 3 weeks post PCT. I've kept almost all the gains in size and strength. My libido is surprisingly good. I expected to be shutdown after stopping PCT but I don't feel that way. Of course, how we "feel" isn't an accurate gauge of anything. 3 more weeks and I'll get new BW
