my testosterone level was 334...

[AlphaMaleDawg]

got my bloodwork done exactly a week ago today and she told me my total testosterone is at 334. I took my last injection from my first cycle (test e 12 weeks 500mg) october 28th, which means it was 2 1/2 months since. How much longer do you guys think it will take before I can cycle again?

 

[Norseman]

do you do pct ?

 

[AlphaMaleDawg]

yea nolva 40/40/20/20 and clomid 100/100/50/50 that ended early/mid december

 

[Ythrashin]

Damn dude... How old are you? That level should be a bit higher...

 

[AlphaMaleDawg]

24...I am still recovering from a test cycle!! It will be higher eventually...I think

What's a normal level for a 40 year old avid athlete. I think mine was 265 or so 4 years ago.

 

[AlphaMaleDawg]

can anyone answer my original question?

Total of 4 months.... time off = time on+ PCT...

I'd wait a bit longer though...

Thats to damn low...if its still around that level you probably need TRT.

so exactly one month after post cycle therapy (pct) completed, it is recovering very slowly in your opinion? What should my level have been by now at this point? Does it have to do with the fact I have drank alcohol 1-2 times per week off cycle?

I don't know why the doctor said my test level was completely normal then.

At 24 your Test level should NOT be 334.
Find a new doc...

regardless of the fact I only finished post cycle therapy (pct) a month ago? You dont think it's normal that it's this low so soon after a cycle? Can you kind of explain what normal levels would be in my case? I would appreciate it

Since you are still recovering that is probably about right..but for your doc to tell you that its normal is wrong. Give it another month and see where you are at... Should be around 500+ hopefully...

ah ok you had me worried there. It was just random girl who called to give me the lab results who said anything between 200something and 840 was normal range. So I am at about a normal pace now I guess, according to you. I guess I'll be waiting two more months to cycle again. I have to say I have no problem getting erections though

I hope you get it high asap latest study indicated the normal level is between 270-1070 ng/dl. A month apart from post cycle therapy (pct) you should be 500+

I am thinking of having my blood tested before my cycle... did you just have them look for plain Testosterone level in your blood?

There seem to be many hormones that can be tested, see site that arranges bloodwork

270 would be normal for a 90 year old man!!

jeez wtf is wrong with me?? I dont usually wake up with these morning boners everyone always talks about but I do get erections sometimes out of nowhere and have a pretty high sex drive I would think. If it's supposed to be 500 after post cycle therapy (pct), this sucks. And i dont like how the girl who read my test results said it was "perfectly normal."

yea but I only asked for total test over the phone. I should be getting the results in writing any day now so I will have everything then. How much would the normal level of "free" testosterone be?

Yes, when a doc tells someone that their test is fine at 334, they do not have much knowledge in the endo field. Go to a endocrinologist bro, he will run blood work and see what is your problem. Answer the questions he asks you, honestly.
