    Being shut down for an extended period of time??

    I bought some gear from a new source over the summer. Back in September I was finally ready to run my cycle. Well, I injected this stuff twice and I got a pretty bad reaction from it... it was garbage UGL stuff. The following week I injected some test. I had for trt while I decided what to do. I was able to get some really decent gear two weeks later and I have been running that ever since. My issue is this cycle is going awesome and I feel like im still making great gains on it but I have been shut down for about 11 weeks total. I am going into my 8th week of my cycle but I have to account for the week I injected that UGL crap, the following week I injected my trt test, and the two weeks between that and when I received the gear im currently running.

    I would really like to run this cycle 12 weeks but that means I will have been shut down for a total of 16 weeks. I have been running HCG the whole time. I would also like to note I previously was on clomid TRT because I had low test, and low FSH and LH. And the clomid did work to raise my total T and free T. However, I would like to try to run A good PCT after this cycle just to see if I recover as I am only 26. This is what I am running for a cycle:

    Dbol 40mg a day Weeks 1-5
    Test E 750mg/week Weeks 1-12
    Deca 250mg/week Weeks 1-10
    HCG 500IU/week
    adex .5mg EOD

    Do you guys think I should cut the cycle short? I really dont want to as im making great gains but, safety first. If ive been shut down for 16 weeks should I do anything different for PCT? Also, I was thinking of back loading with dbol... Will this make much of a difference or is it not worth it? Oh by the way, I am going to donate blood here soon to help lower my RBC.

    If your just going back to trt then 1 week isnt going to make much difference

    My plan was to run a good PCT and see if I recover. If I dont then I will get back on the clomid.

    Yes... I had been using it for about a year at 50mg a day. He prescribed me testosterone to try but I have yet to use it... and I probably wont.

    Well running a cycle when you already were low on testosterone before is probably going to leave you lower after you recover. Were did 50 mg ed of Clomid put your T levels?

    My total test was 674 (348-1197) and free test was 14.3 (9.3-26.5). So your saying the clomid will be less effective? Or it may be less effective?

    That's a good number.... Its hard to say the more we cycle the more damage we risk to the endocrine function its just part of the risks with cycling. i would run your test 2 weeks longer then the Deca

    Yeah numbers looked good thankfully. I really wanted to avoid using testosterone for TRT as I would like to have kids someday. The odd thing is I never felt one bit of difference even though my numbers more than doubled.

    really TRT is all about finding the sweet spot. What does a number really mean? If you can put on muscle and feel good then it doesn't matter

    Yeah my main concern is having kids. If I was to run test for TRT it would greatly lower my chances. Im not saying a cycle wont but I few weeks if test is better than a few years.

    Worst case scenario I dont recover after I run a PCT after this cycle, I jump back on clomid and if my levels come back while on that fertility will not be an issue correct?

    you don't know that... Like I said every time we cycle we risk dis function. Your cycle was executed pretty good with the addition of hcg. You should be fine but there are never guarantees

    Yeah I know the risks we take.. I just want to minimize them as much as possible. Is there anything special you recommend I do for PCT?? or just a standard PCT Clomid 100/100/50/50 and Tamox 60/60/40/40/20/20

    Clomid looks fine and if you want to run the tamox 6 weeks then I would run it 40/40/20/20/20/20
