Hi everyone
I'm chomping at the bit to do another more robust cycle after finishing my first earlier this year. I just contacted 3J to finish stripping fat and I'd very much like to start bulking again by the end of this year. The problem is I'm not sure if I've recovered from my first cycle and if it would be safe for me to do another one.
I finished an 11 wk cycle of 500mg of test e per week around the first week in February.
Then I did an Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast phase of 500 iu per day for 10 days
Then a post cycle therapy (pct) of (estimating since my notes were lost) clomid/nolva 50/40 for 4 straight weeks.
In April I got my testosterone tested in the afternoon and I got a result of 213 ng/ml.
Last week I got my testosterone taken in the morning and the result was 257 ng/ml.
I unfortunately did not get blood work done prior to my first pin since I wasn't aware of the resources I have now. The only thing I could think to do to judge my recovery was to have my brother tested. My brother is 3 years younger than me (21) and has never used AAS, his test was measured at 597 ng/ml last week.
I have no idea what my next step here should be. I have no idea whether or not I should consider myself recovered. I just wanted to hear the thoughts of members of this board.
My testicles are back to full size and I have been able to pull 2 a day workouts for a few straight weeks at a time since my post cycle therapy (pct) so although I am generally always fatigued from training I'm not sure if I can say I have the type of fatigue that is symptomatic of hypogonadism.
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not I've recovered or what my next step should be?
Thank you as always,
VAF
