    Going to see an Endo, what am I checking and why?

    Hey, new to the forum, got some very helpful answers in another thread, I'm here to throw down a little info about my predicament and maybe get some notes from you guys. I read all of these Stickies here in the PCT section prior to posting, feel free to use Jargon when talking to me I'll look it all up as I read.

    I'm 25, I did a lot (Seem'd like a lot to me anyway) of juice when I was 21, I did a 3 month Cycle starting out at 1ml of Sust 250 a week, by the end of the three months I was doing 4ml Sust 250, 3ml Deca , bottle of Anadrol a week, bottle of Dianabol every 2 weeks, and 3 or 4ml's of Prop a week, I ate a bottle of Nolvadex off and on throughout the 3 months. At the end of the three months I quit out cold turkey, and ate half a bottle of Nolvadex over a month. So disclaimer; I realize I was pretty stupid about the whole thing, if I could change the way I went about things I would have. I've never done Steroids since, I still lift natural now (Not that I'm against using Juice responsibly, I'm not) however I can't get it up at all anymore, I mean I can but it just doesn't perform like it used to (At all really) and it's been like 4 years, is there anything I can do to fix this?

    I surmise from the Sticky threads that if I used an HCG to get my nuts rolling again, then come off of that onto Nolvadex & Clomid I could potentially go back to normal, but if my nuts are not working then that's an LH problem right? So how do I get my natural LH production up and rolling again, and aside from to remove the negative side effects of the HCG why would I bother with Nolvadex & Clomid? From what I've read Clomid does the same thing as Nolvadex, but from what my Doctor tells me Clomid is used to cause ovulation in women (I can see how that relates, sounds like what the HCG is supposed to do for me though).

    Also, when I go to my endocrinologist I want to know what I'm talking about when I go in there... I've been to 3 general practitioners and none of them have ever refered me, they straight up told me I was ****ed and I was on Cialis for life now, and after getting blood tests for Testosterone levels had no recommendations for me, this time I want to go in there prepared, so...

    I found this in the "Unofficial PCT" thread, I'll run it my by Doc

    > testosterone , total, free and weekly bound
    > TSH
    > cortisol, total
    > t3, free
    > t4, free
    > igf1
    > igfbp-3
    > dhea sulphate
    > hemoglobin A1C
    > fasting insulin
    > cbc
    > comprehensive metabolic panel
    > lipid panal
    > GGT (important liver value)
    > PSA

    But I don't know why I would get tested for these things, or how if I were tested for it and it were low for example, I would get it fixed, which one of these is connected to why I can't get it up anymore and what's the best way to fix it?

    Sorry for the long read haha, recommendations are welcome, even recommended reading is welcome, if you think there is something I need to learn about and you've got the link throw it at me.

    Edit: More info... My nut's only got a bit smaller during the whole ordeal, I was EXTREMELY sexually healthy before I started my cycle and I have always been very healthy, I am still quite healthy, though I got some fat on me now, where I was an 6 pack my whole life before hand.

    Any reputable endo dr should run a full hormone panel to see what's going on with your endocrine system. After you have done that post up your results for us to look at. Any advice given without labs would only be guessing. Good luck

    Take a look in the HRT Forum at the Finding A Doc sticky thread. That is the BW you want right now. LH and FSH levels are important now to determine pituitary function as well as everything else. The whole picture needs to be looked at. Honestly if you're from the states I'd search up one of the more reputable docs in the country and drive/fly to them. And I'd choose a Uro over an Endo. Endo's are more diabetes and metabolic diseases.

    What you're surmising about HCG followed by Nolva-clomid is basically a Mike Scally protocol. Google the Scally Power PCT Program.
