Yep. Got one. It's called a microadenoma (under 10mm i believe) or if it's a macroadenoma it's over 10mm and surgery is usually required. They do that normally through the nose btw, they're not gonna flop open your head!. Mine is only 2mm but it shut down my T production to a 59. Got blood work, all f'd up, lost about 10 lbs. Not fun when your doc tells you that you need a brain scan to see if there's a tumor. I feel for ya buddy! I was horrible waiting for the results. apparentely they are pretty common and people just don't get them diagnosed as they attribute it to aging.

Your doc could be overreacting though. You might just need more time to start your sytem up. Give us some stats. Age, amount of cycles done, what you just got off of, etc.. Some of the pro's here can probably help.

Did he check your prolactin levels? Some kinds of pituitary adenomas can secrete excess hormones. But don't worry about the MRI, it's only like 30 minutes in duration. About halfways through they're going to inject you with a contrasting solution. But afterwards you'll get a DVD that you can look inside your head through different layers. They even spotted some inflammation in my sinuses.

U finished your cycle like 6 months ago.
Then i remember u were slowly recovering, with test low, but well within the range and increasing, but complaining of poor libido.
Know u were contemplating doing another PCT to speed up the process.
If that´s what u did, ofcourse u´re all over the board. And nutti´n will make sense.
But, an MRI will never hurt, we should all have 1 every 5 years, just to be proactive. It´s just very expensive, so that´s ofcourse not an option.
If your insurance now is paying for one, go for it!
When the results come back negative, I refer to the first post I wrote to u like 4-5 months ago, and imo the best advise you´ve gotten....."Patience".
Homeostasis is a process over months....years. PCT meeds is not magic, it´s some hard ass meeds, u never needed the second one.
