TRT after PCT

[kbronss]

Just finished a cycle last year. (12weeks)500test cyp (10weeks)400deca. Felt great during cycle but only gained 10lbs and all were lost, as soon as I stopped deca I could feel the difference. Ran pct. my libido was pretty much non existent and is barely there now. Kind of feel it might have been underdosed cause it def wasn’t bunk gear. I’ve been reading up on trt and a cousin of mine in the states was prescribed that and he said he only used for 6months when his doc stopped him because he was over 1100 already, he doesn’t excercise. I just want to get back at how I was before this last cycle, can I run 100mg per week of test to get there? About 5months? I’ve only done two cycles, one at 25 which gained me 25lbs and now at 36.

TRT is for life. It’s not a short term fix.

What was your pct?
Use HCG during cycle?

First thought would be to pull blood work if it's at least 8 weeks post cycle.

No hcg during cycle. Pct was Nolva and clomid. I really can’t get blood work in mex. that just doesn’t exist here, checking test levels I mean. I thought I could just do that short term trt to hopefully bring me back to normal.

Like Drew previously said, TRT is a lifetime medication. It's not something you can easily turn on and off. Sorry you are having recovery problems, but short term TRT will only mess you up more. Without proper labs, there's no way for us to advise you an why you are not responding to PCT. My only advice is to check with other bodybuilders and reevaluate your PCT. I have no experience with non-TRT use of steroids, but it would seem to me that HCG is a necessary part of the PCT procedure.

Injecting even low doses of T doesn't help u bring your T level back to normal, on the contrary, it suppresses it, just like a high dose cycle would, so it's a bad idea. If u don't have access to labs, maybe u can send your sample to another country? I'd look into that.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I found this out before I started. Maybe I'll just run a 500testE only cycle and figure out a full/complete pct so this doesn't happen again. I was thinking it was "deca dick" and it would just be gone after a while. But once I started loosing all the gains I knew it was more complicated.

Good luck bro. You should post in the anabolic steroids section. Those guys will be able to share knowledge.
