New to the site and looking for advice

[Az0342]

I'm 6'2, 260 lbs. I am 31 years old. I've been training on and off for 16 years but been going steady for the last 4. I had a dr. Put me on trt, I switched Drs and after about 6 months he pulled me off of the trt and said I didn't need it. I recovered nicely, now looking to do a cycle but need advice.

Welcome along bud!

Would you fancy going back on trt again in case things don't workout in regards after pct?

I would love not to pin and have just above average test levels most will envy you your successful recovery

Stick around, you will get great advice here from good few members

Welcome....

Thank you. Yeah I actually came out with better levels following the PCT. However, I'm missing those higher number that I had while on TRT.

Welcome. I don't think I would be off HRT. I know that since my blood work and what I take, I feel a lot better so I don't think I would feel the same if I quit. Besides I thought HRT (I use that cuz its about all the hormones not just test) was for life?

So I read on a different post that post cycle labs should be drawn 6-8 weeks following PCT. The person that made is statement stated it was because you test and Estrongen levels will still drop (test) and raise (estradiol) while PCT drugs leave your system.

With all that being said;

Labs before start of TRT:

Test-378
Estradiol-99
(Only ones I recall)

Dr prescribed 120 mg test cyp, 500iu hcg and 2.5 mg letro. 2x week.

I then switched doctors following a knowledgeable friends recommendation. This doctor kept me on the test and the HCG but stopped the use of Letro. At that time;

Test-669
Free-35.4
Estradiol-4.4

6 weeks later;
Test-913
Free-33.4
Didn't draw estradiol.

At this point he withdrew me from TRT and put me on a six week PCT of hCG and Clomid. He drew my labs two days following The end of PCT.

Test-773
Free-24.7
Estradiol-32.7

So my question is did my test and Estradiol Numbers look so good because it was so close to end of PCT?

I remember the first time I stopped to see what my test level was, I only allowed 2 weeks before blood draw and my test levels were still high. It took about 1 month off to bring levels way down, almost to the point of the level that caused me to go on HRT. I think everyone is different in the time factor.

I do feel like I've had a decrease in libido since then.
