Please help.....Need feedback on my bloodwork after PCT based on 5th cycle

[megatron_ed]

Hi everyone:

I just got my bloodwork back from a test administered yesterday post PCT and my test, lh, and estradiol are still low.

Here are the facts:

1. 40 years old. 5th cycle
2. Currently 203lbs, 6'
3. Have used tren, test, dbol, tbol, anadrol, and anavar in the past, but not stacked all at once of course.
4. This was the first cycle ever where I tried DECA.
5. For this cycle, it was
A. 750mg test-e (weeks 1-13)
B. 400mg of deca a week (1-12)
C. Jump started with anadrol 50mg a week (weeks 1-4)
D. Used HCG 2x a week.
E. AI was liquid Stane from RUI
6. Here is the biggie - my deca ended up lasting 8 weeks, so I went with tren the final four weeks (another 19nor) at 400mg/week.

I had bloodwork mid cycle and I was shut down as I have been in the past.

PCT

Started with HCG (250) a day for 10 days.
Also Comprised of clomid (21 days) and nolva (30 days). Clomid was 300mg day 1, 100 mgs days 2-10, then 50mgs a day thereafter. Nolva was 40mgs days 1-14 then 20mgs thereafter.

DATES
first injection was April 1. Last was in July. HCG started day after followed by PCT. PCT ended August 14.

I've never had an issue recovering from previous cycles (some longer and heavier) so I am thinking Deca is the culprit?

On my most recent bloodwork, my test was 172 (range 348-1197), lh was 1.5 (1.7-8.6) and estradiol was 6.0 (7.6-42.6)

FSH barely made the cut at 1.7 (1.5-12.4). All other metrics were fine.

Any advice or thoughts from more veteran members out there?

I would try PCT (Clomid + Nolva) again. Go about 5 weeks. If that doesn't work you may need to go on TRT.

Thanks. Could it be that I tested too soon? About 2 weeks since PCT ended.

If anything, that would give you higher readings for TT and LH.

Usually you need to wait about 6 weeks before you get bloodwork done to get an accurate result. BUT, that's because the numbers will usually be inflated due to the SERMs still active in your system.

In your case, your test is already very low. Follow Mega's advice.

Mega beat me to it

Thanks guys. Any recommendations on dosage for clomid and nolva this time around. I hate the sides of clomid but will tolerate them to get my numbers back up.

Any thoughts on adding HCG this long after the cycle ended in early July? I don't want to suppress myself further. Right now, I am running clomid @100mg a day for the first two weeks and then 50mg the next three weeks. Nolva is at 40mg a day for the first two weeks and then 20mg a day for the next four weeks.

hCG should not be used during PCT as it is suppressive to the HPTA.
