    I guess my PCT Worked? Blood Test Results...

    Well I just got back the results (these are averages)

    Quest labs:

    Testosterone 650 (normal range: 250-850)
    Prolactin 4 (normal range: 2-18)
    Cholesterol 217 (down from 297 last year!)

    normal range is per the lab results document

    I got my blood test done 3 days after finishing my PCT supplied by ARR. I ran Clomid 100/50/50/50 and Nolva 40/40/20/20.

    I was hoping to hit the blood test when my hormone levels were bottomed out, to try & get some TRT precriptions (I'm 40 & a crooked bastich)...I was also worried I completely shut myself down because I felt terrible. Well, I'm somewhat disappointed BUT relieved that I bounced back quite quickly. And happy I'm not damaged....but is my prolactin a little low? I'm seeing the doc for the follow up in 2 weeks & I'm sure he'll say I'm "strong like horse"!

    In the future should I get my blood test done right when I start PCT? I guess at that point I'll be rock bottom. Just curious...

    But anyway the ARR stuff worked & it's the first time I did PCT, thanks to you all here. Last time I juiced was back in my late 20's, and I or anybody else I knew never did PCT.

    Wait 4 more weeks and go back to run labs again. Then you will know for sure were you are at! Sometimes your labs could read a little high because of the PCT meds.

    Rats! I'll have to pay out-of-pocket this time....I convinced the doc to test my hormones along with my cholesterol follow-up. So I wonder if my natty test is really fine after all?

    Are those the only blood analyses exams you took? and the others?
    Also, have you checked them all before starting your cycle, as well?

    Too long. It was 15 wks Test-E and Deca (three bottles 10ml each)...afterwards I jumped on 8 wks Avavar to cruise through the summer & look good for vacation. People I knew recommended it & said it will help retain the gains I got. But you guys here said don't do it.

    I know shouldn't have done that & will be more prudent next time around (which won't be for a few months). If I recover okay. Too much time on & I feel it now afterwards. Juice is psychologically addicting I must say, at least for me.

    I didn't check them specifically for test last year, it was general blood work. So no.

    Sounds about right. Go ahead, let the flames begin! I've earned the finger-wagging. I'm a stupid, stupid man but hopefully I can recover and live n' learn.

    No you are not the only one. Good to hear that you have recovered well. Was it difficult?

    Yes! The 1st week on PCT was cake, but the 2nd week I crashed hard & felt like I had the flu (the feeling crappy part). No energy & ratty. After that I was feeling alot better. Then after PCT was over I was feeling so-so again, and not very motivated. I've missed a few days here & there working out but all in all, I haven't taken a break AT ALL since January. So the rest is probably good.

    Week 3 of my PCT my nuts started aching a little, probably from kicking back into gear. I was blowing huge loads about my last week of PCT. My balls are fully inflated now but I've lost about 10 lbs since, and holding.
