Ran Clomid for PCT 5 weeks later still had low test. Why?

Did a 14 week cycle test 400 and sust 250 per week. Then I did 5 weeks of clomid 100 first day and 50 each day for 5 weeks.
When I had my blood tested the week after post cycle therapy (pct) the test level came back as 286. They said the range is 300- 1050.
Was it too soon to test my levels and expect it to be higher? Or did I mess up the post cycle therapy (pct)?

A couple things might be going on:
-You may have had low test before the cycle. Did you get bloods then?
-Your body is still recovering.
-You had bunk clomid.

Also, an Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast might have gotten you better faster. How long after your cycle ended did you start PCT?

I started two weeks after my last shot and used RUI clomid. You might be on to something about having naturally low test. I asked my Dr. to test me once because I told him I didn't feel like my energy and ability to handle things was what it used to be. He said if I could still get an erection I was fine. But my brother tried out for a study for low test and he was only at the 350 level and he never did a cycle. Thats were I got my results from as well. I am going to go back to my Dr and see about testing again or getting on TRT.

If your considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) tell your Dr that your sex drive is all but gone. This was one of the factors my Dr looked at when putting me on TRT

PCT is only to HELP recovery, just because you finish PCT doest NOT mean your are 100%.
same goes for if you don't do a PCT (BAD IDEA) you would still recover if it was going to happen, with or without it, just ALOT slower.

five it a few more weeks and go for more blood work.
also did you do PRE-cycle blood work to know where your natty test was before hand?
I sure hope so or you really wont know where you where, or should be (for all you know you already had low test)

FIND ANOTHER DOC!
This one has his head in his ass, that is such a stupid thing to base his response to your request on!

I agree, that was a sign that he is certainly not for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). He has been a pretty good Dr in most regards so I am going to try once more now that I have proof I am low. If he balks I will get another Dr.

most general phcysians haven't got a clue about a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). I'd see an endo. also I would've waited 3 weeks to start post cycle therapy (pct) and would've done 100/50/50/50, not 100 on the first day and 50 every day after that. but like everyone says, give it a few more weeks and get more bloods. shoulda ran Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) bro

Thanks man. I was wondering if I my levels were still going to go up or if that was it.
You are right I never did get any bloodwork so I might have been low to start. I wanted it done prior to starting a cyle but you know my Dr's response. I was worried to push it so I dropped it. And there aren't the type of mail order Labs set up for independent testing in NY state.

Went back to my Dr and he wanted another blood test before he would even consider testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Well I guess my Pct wasn't that off. Two weeks after my 296 I am at 590. So I can forget testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) from my Dr! Guess I just needed to wait a week or so more.
