Critique: My First Cycle and PCT

[GoHardorGoHomeLV]

I went and got a blood test and my Testosterone levels came back at 383 ng/dl. Is this a normal level for someone who hasn't started their cycle yet?

Did they check free T as well or just total?

Just total.

Just total.

383 is in the normal range...lower half but still within normal range!

I'm currently on the 9th week of a 12 week cycle. I just had some blood work done and posted it in the Blood Work section and have yet to get a response, so I thought I'd post it here.

Here are my results:

Testosterone : >1500 ng/dL
Luteinizing Hormone: 0.1 mIU/mL
FSH: <0.2 mIU/mL
Estradiol: 59.5 pg/mL
AST (SGOT): 47 IU/L

I'd appreciate it if someone gave me some feedback and any suggestions. Thanks.

Are those the only hormones you tested?


Your Test is up there where it should be.

Your sex hormones (FSH and LH) are shut down but that's normal on cycle.

Your Estrogen is bit high. Is this the sensitive Male Estradiol assay? How do you feel?


Be patient and one of the HRT Specialists will see your thread in the HRT Forum and provide you with feedback better than i can with my limited knowledge. Just wanted to let you know you're not being looked over.

^^^ I was under the impression that HCG was supposed to prevent me from shutting down? As far as test, I took the Female Hormone Test from PrivateMDLabs.com. Still no reply in the Blood Test section...

Shut down of natty test will happen no matter. The HCG will simply allow your testes to not atrophy and aid in qicker and better recovery
