Can't cycle while on TRT? How bout restart?

[Swoll]

So, to make a long story short I was put on TRT a couple of years ago mistakenly. The Doc was unfamiliar with it, her testing protocols were unreliable, and I exhibited none of the symptoms of low testosterone. I went with it because hey, sure I'll take a script for testosterone. I did feel exceptionally well for quite a time, but now I'm certainly worse off than I started. My current, better Doctor agreed with an HPTA restart, but have not begun it yet. No problem - HOWEVER, I'm also interested in doing a 12 week test/dianabol cycle (I have never cycled before). My question: Could doing a cycle now, before I"m off testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), be detrimental to my chances of a full HPTA recovery (to pre-trt levels)? I'm I going to nuke my nads? Currently on and HCG/test trt regime. Would really like to cycle now, but worried about repercussions with my HPTA restart.


Also, what could be the cause of sudden low libido? Lost it about a month ago and no sign of return. Even bumped up my weekly injection of T a bit, but no go.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cycling now would likely not impact your HPTA to any greater a degree than you Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has for the past few years. The end result of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that you have done for the past few years is that you have more likely than not already suppressed your natural endogenous T production.

Restarting you endogenous production will not be any more difficult regardless of your proposed Test/Dbol cycle.

Now, there is something that seems strange to me. Perhaps you would elaborate.

Having never cycled before, a few years ago your MD suggested Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and you just "...went with it because hey, sure I'll take a script for testosterone."

Why would that be appealing to someone who hadn't, to that point, used AAS?

Finally, how old are you and what is your Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) protocol currently?

I took the script because I was interested and I thought that bringing my T levels up to "optimal" might help me out with recovery. I'd thought of gear before, but had wanted to stay "natural." I think it did help me out with recovery some, and for awhile my libido was absolutely crazy, but I did not have a problem in that category before.

My current protocal is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 2x week, 150mgs Test C once a week.

I'm 31, lifting for 5 years. Put on about 35lbs of weight in the first couple years before I was ever on TRT. Put it on fast enough that plenty of people asked if I was using something then. I'm 240 now, but could shave 20lbs of water and weight and be very solid.

About a month and a half ago, after missing a shot, I doubled up on the next shot - 300mgs of Test. Again, libido was about as crazy as it had every been (like a 15yr old), but within a couple of weeks dropped off to nearly non-existent. It has remained that way since, although I've returned to my normal 150mgs of T and HCG. Don't have what has been described to me as E symptoms - moody/emotional, tender nips, etc... I have some A-dex and nolva. Tried the adex, but worried about bringing my E levels down if they're not high already. As that was my worry I've only twice tried the A-dex. Once with 3/4mg and then a couple weeks later a full 1 mg. No noticeable effects.

Appreciate the responses.

only blood work will tell for sure but adex need at least every other day use for several weeks to make a difference. if you dont want to get blood work i would do .25 mg of adex every day for 1 month and see if that helps.
