This is my first post here but I'd been a long time lurker. I was hoping to ge some advice from the vets here to whether or not my bloods show I'm ready for a 2nd cycle.
I just finished up my 1st cycle 7 weeks ago and was getting ready to order gear for my 2nd cycle at the end of the month. I just got my bloods returned and the only abnormality showed a slightly elevated LH and LDL. Here are some of the test results that you may find pertinent:
As you can probably tell from my mid-cycle low test, I did not heed nearly all advice to use a test base as my 1st only cycle. Big mistake. - Strike 1.Total Test: 785 ng/dl --> up from 51 ng/dl - mid cycle
(Range 348-1197 ng/dl)
E2: 27.2 pg/ml --> No prior tests
(Range 8.0- 35.0 pg/ml)
FSH: 5.8 mIu/ml --> No prior tests
(Range: 1.5-12.4 mIu/ml)
LH: 8.8 mIu/ml --> No prior tests
(Range: 1.7-8.6 mIu/ml)
HDL: 50 mg/dl --> up from <3 mg/dl - mid cycle
(Range: >39 mg/dl)
LDL: 129 mg/dl --> down from 230 mg/dl - mid cycle
(Range: 0-99 mg/dl)
Instead, I opted for oral only since I had not yet gotten over my fear of pinning. I went with 5 weeks of T-Bol and Var. Results were pretty amazing, but again I nuked my T levels and really did a number on my cholesterol. Liver values were slightly elevated, but hardly anything to be concerned about (ALT/AST scores were low 50 IU/L)
For my next cycle I'm going with 400-600mg/wk Test-C (unless strongly suggested otherwise) combined with oral t-bol. May opt for 4 weeks of Var at the end of the cycle, but that is TBD. Will have some arimidex on hand to combat any issues with aromatization, and will use both Clomid and Nolva for PCT.
I was curious to see if you guys think my bloods indicate my body is ready for this?
Much thanks for your replies - go easy on my for botching my first cycle with no test. I'm aware that was a mistake, one I don't plan to repeat.![]()
