Well it's 20 days since my last 80mg injection.
To be honest I'm feeling dam good. Let me clarify.
Mentally I feel great, physically not so much. But this is easily explained as I've dropped my estrogen too low throughout this process. Joints are killing me, skin is dry blah blah blah.
Only sides I really care about is that my strength has gone down a ton as well as erection strength. Not that big of a deal( would happen if I was on trt too), I don't have a gf right now and I decided to take off from the gym until I start SERMS anyways.
Mentally though I'm feeling great. I've noticed that even with below healthy level estrogen I feel good. It's only when my estrogen gets high that my mood starts to flutter.
I'm very logical, which makes sense as my estrogen is lower.
I had blood work done ( moms works at hopsital and I get the basic panel for free) for shits and giggles 1 week into hcg, 2 weeks since last pin. I knew it would be too early to be of any relevance but I thought I'd post it regardless.
Normally 1 week after a 100mg pin my levels are in the 300's, tested by bloods twice. This one is 2 weeks after an 80mg injection, 1 week on hcg, this was done the day after an hcg pin.

Testosterone , Serum 529 348-1197 ng/dL SO
LH <0.2 LOW 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL SO
FSH <0.2 LOW 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL SO
Estradiol 14.6 7.6-42.6 pg/mL SO
clearly it's too soon as the testosterone was still in my system, but my T levels are much higher then they would be without the hcg. So that's a good sign. Anyways like I said, these bloods don't really mean much.
I'll be getting some bloods next week though after my 10th hcg shot, before I start my SERMS and will update then.
I'm trying not to get obsessed with numbers like I did last time. I would look at my lab work and placebo judge how I felt by it, rather then how I actually felt. If i feel good and my test is only 450 then that's fine, I know I never had sky high levels anyways. Highest I ever had was 484.
I do feel like if I recover, I'll end up with higher levels then I did back in 2011 before all my steroid use though, being 3 years older and a late bloomer. Only time will tell!
