Shutdown still off last cycle

[bsmith123]

So I have been "shutdown" for months now. I use the parenthesis because of the extent. I got tests done weeks ago and it showed everything was fine, just low fsh and lh. I am not suffering from the lethargic side effects, the only side effect I am suffering from is testicular atrophy still. I finished a clomid cycle a month ago of 100,100,50,50,50 but I dont think the dose was strong enough. I was thinking about starting another 2 month cycle considering I have been shut down for so long. I was thinking about adding in Hcg toward end but not sure. If you guys could give me some more insight it would be great. By the way my cycle was 8 weeks of test e at 500 mg.

did you use HCG in your pct? hcg preps the little fellas for natural test. what was the cycle you run?

hcg is always recommended when you have testicular atrophy from AAS

I left that out but no my original pct included nolva. I now know I should have used HCG but I recently began a cycle of clomid and I had pretty good results, just was not long enough at 5 weeks. So now I am stuck.

i would suggest getting some hcg. FSH and LH will get a negative response from you testes.....

HCG preps the testicles by mimicking LH and FSH (i guess it tricks the bollocks into thinking they are getting legit signals, so they grow.....) clomid then stimulates the pituitary gland to send your own LH and FSH. and then you are on the road to recovery.....

8 weeks of a test e cycle isn't a good start. Before doing another cycle, read up on the ology faq's thread. You seem to be missing a few key elements...

HCG and wait, its better to do it right when all is in check and working properly then going at it with one nut still in the grave. http://www.steroidology.com/forum/a.../675497-ology-frequently-asked-questions.html

Get blood work and take it from there. If you have low test you would need to look into HCG and running another pct. If that doesn't work, you need an endocrinologist.

Milt, LP and T bone are all wise in their input. You are self admittedly not recovered and given were not knowing VERY relevant facts such as your age to endorse anything but getting your bloods done and re booting your hpta and see where it lands on the production scale would be reckless.

I d appreciate a little bio history on you so as we can really address your current state and return you to wherever is gonna be your new "normal". Then you, me and the other 3 can lay out a safe, productive run w respect to AAS, all other med s needed to both max ur results and max your recovery.

I DESTROYED myself from 1984-1990 ?? in that PCT and ai s and estro conversion were not topics readily available to discuss or secure. I struggled with mood swings, a fed guy with mood swing s and e d at 35. Try explaining that to a latina nympho gf...
My point my man is we re here if your willing to be f cool and play it safe. If u choose to be reckless we ll also help minimize total shutdown and the slow turning of you into a trt guy like me and several other vets, ex reckless type s, or older guys...me being all 3..lucky me. You can get used to anything but why choose a dependency on trt med s if you do not have to.

Either way have a good day
