Natural testosterone level

[kal300]

Why do some people do not recover their natural testosterone level after a cycle+good PCT?

[x_moe]

have you or your friend ran a cycle and a good pct and didnt recover ? if so what was the cycle and pct?

i think after pct..maybe a test boosting supplement may help..whats your thoughts?

I have not fully recovered, 4 months after last cycle. I am doing a nother pct to try to bring it up.

I think it just depends on your body chemistry, hpta function and your body's levels of test post puberty. Like anything, genetics can play a factor, and some steroids just shut people down hard. Keeping in mind that when you're on a cycle, you have effectivelyshut down your testicles, is somethng to consider when thinking about why some people never 'fully' recover.

I just wish I tested my levels pre-steroid use, so I could compare, and see where Im at and so I know if and how much I have gone down

I always assumed if you did PCT properly you would regain your natural levels. If it wasnt a high dose cycle, nolva/clomid/arimidex/aramasic should work, if it was then hcg with a good SERM and an AI...

Personally, if i run the risk of not recovering my natural levels, that would be disappointing... I suppose i will just have to take the blood tests, I assume even at the worst it should recover in time... Ie, just by waiting it out...
