Is PCT worthless if you are permanantly shut down ?

[sweezy]

If you are permananly shut down from using steroids , would there be any reason to do a PCT after a cycle ?

[peachfuzz]

if you were permanently shut down then id assume you would be prescribed trt no?

[marcus300]

If you cant recover using PCT you need to see the doctor and get some bloodwork done, if you have low testosterone and its impossible for you to regain full function then he will prescribe you HRT.

I have been to my doctor and explained to him that I am shut down because of using steroids and he puts me on test for 4 weeks and says " lets see how your levels are " He has done this 3 times. I told him that I don't think that my system will work on its own because of the use of steroids. and I don't think he understands. So now I am going to dose myself..Being that I am shut down I am going to use TRT in between cycles ( Cruise )..
Now that I am going to cruise , Is there any reason for PCT protocols ?

no reason for pct once you are on trt, but first I would consult a second and perhaps a third doctor.

yea im on my docs TRT protocol and he wants me to stay on about 6 months and get my levels up and then completely stop all together. He believes my test levels will remain the same. I was like umm i read it will just drop way back off, and his reply was well we will just have to see. I may try a new doc to.

The problem is there is only one doctor that deals with that stuff where I live..
I would have to drive 4 hours to see another doctor..thats why i am stuck..I have did his test program 3 times and each time my test is low again. not to mention its $50 everytime i get bloodwork..

it often amazes me how many docs don't seem to understand trt. they often prescribe test for a few weeks or more, thinking that will kickstart your natural test production.

I know..they just don't realize that i already gave it a nuclear kickstart which shut the plant down....

I can assure you that going on HRT/TRT for a few months will not kickstart your natural testosterone production, using Test was probably the cause of the low test anyway! HRT is a replacement for your natural testosterone its a long term medication.

It's truly amazing reading this post.

I would just dose myself on cyp, which will cost you less than the blood work.

I guess you just have doctor's that don't understand there profession.

Then, just get your levels checked by any doctor.

PS-Good Luck

Marcus I hear you loud and clear..I have explained that to my doc..He puts me on a 8 week test program thinking the levels will come back..My levels are low because of test use...Titanium I get bloodwork every couple months..I'm just gonna start a cruise ..whats the difference if a Doctor has me on TRT than if I do it..I get bloodwork often
