Likelihood of TRT in steroid users

[DaytonLax14]

Hey guys! Just finished up a test E cycle and about to start PCT later this week. A buddy of mine and I were having a discussion revolving how likely TRT is for steroid users. So basically, does the likelihood of TRT increase as you do more and more cycles?

Basically, yes. The more you keep suppressing your HPTA the more likely you will require TRT. Keep an eye on your blood work. Hopefully you got Baseline Blood Work before you ever did your first cycle.

As the limit of time approaches infinity, TRT's probability goes to 1. (100%)

Unfortunately, nobody can tell you where along that time line it will happen to you as we're all different. Just know that (as Tron stated) the more times you're on, the higher your odds of not recovering.

Experience only. Ran numerous cycles with pct (correct at the time) and now on TRT for life. If that's an option for you, then get ready for pinning ew, or in my case, every 3 1/2 days. It gets old.... 6 years and counting

been blasting and cruising for 3 years now.. there is no point in cycling. to go through all the trouble of coming off just to look good for 2 or 3 months. and even if you do "keep your gains" you still look like a completely different person. you look deflated.

Does anyone have knowledge of any published research on HPTA recovery post cycle?

highly rec looking into Test-undec its slow and after you build up levels pinning every 1-2 months is workable. (some docs pushed it to 1-2 times a year in research but untill i have first hand blood work and exp, i say every month after levels are built up and stable, then tuning the dosing via blood work over months ofcourse.

Interesting...trt is something I would like to avoid at a young age. Are these IFBB pros pretty much doomed for trt at a young(ish) age?

lol thats a joke right? you can bet that any IFBB pro or even anyone who aspired to be an IFBB pro is "doomed" on trt for life
