And also, why the free test results that I got? Isn't that strange?
Im of the belief that around the first week or so of pct you still have enough exogenous test to remain completely shutdown. So 2 weeks into pct I would think levels to be very poor.
Same with the thyroid stuff. Why the LOW T3 reading if I was ON thyroid meds? I was taking 50mcg T4 and 10mcg T3 at the time. This was clearly less than the high T3 dosing I was using during the cutting cycle, which yes probably shut down my thyroid, but THAT much? My tsh reading was <.01...that's basically nothing. And the low T3 is weird...and even my free thyroxine was borderline low. All pretty weird. Maybe i'm compeltely shut down and 50mcg t4 + 10mcg t3 isnt enough? I dont know.
The body produces around 20-25mcg of t3 ED naturally. Not sure on the natural t4 amount but I would bet its higher also. And yes I would expect it to be completely shutdown
I am continuing to take GH so would it be wise to drop the T4? I'm not taking the T3 anymore. Maybe worth coming off the T4 for 4 weeks just to get some natty production back and then go back on T4 or what? Also, should I taper the T4 dose lower than 50mcg per day?
