Low test results (23 yrs. old) before starting next cycle: advice please

[brown_wallet_100]

my test results came back low (especially for my age) and have me fairly worried: 253 ng/dL (23 years old).

I was planning on running my second cycle next week. Should I halt the cycle and get this figured out first, or run the cycle and see if PCT can bring these levels back up to normal?

I've been running a PSMF for 3 weeks now, which I've heard can impact my test levels (because of the lack of fat consumption), but I'm guessing my test level still shouldn't have been that low?

I've ran one prior cycle of test E 500mg with a 6 week t-bol kickstart (11 weeks total), and nolva for PCT at 40/40/20/20. My last day of pct for this cycle was September 29, 2015.

I don't really feel any symptoms of low T for the most part. I don't have ED or feel lethargic. I'm not sure if I've been having low libido. I've always found it more difficult to others to gain and put on mass though (even with a strict diet).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

if you care about health figure out first

Did you get blood work prior to your first cycle to know what your Natty Baseline is? And do you have additional blood work to share with us other than just TT. LH and FSsH would be very helpful nin giving you advice on what to do next.

Unfortunately I don't know my natty baseline level. The blood-work I got didn't include LH and FSH (didn't know it wouldn't be included). The closest thing I have it the moment is my TSH level which is within range.

Now I'm planning on getting my LH and FSH levels checked. What should I do in the case that both of them are within range?

Read the link included in my signature. It covers getting blood work.

Update: I just got my my hormones checked; my LH was too low and my Prolactin is too high.

FSH: 1.9 mlU/mL
LH: 0.6 mlU/mL
Prolactin: 20 ng/mL

I'm visiting an endocrinologist later this week. What would your suggestions be for my plan of attack here? Should I restart a PCT with clomid again? If my test levels were originally low before starting a cycle, would clomid help at all in this situation?

Probably need to run hCG for a few months to get your testicles "primed" and then run clomid + Nolva.

Thanks for the advice.

Am I running into any major risks if I decide to bypass the hCG and go directly into clomid + nolva?

Biggest risk is that the restart will fail.
