stopping post cycle therapy (pct) for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast

stopping pct for hcg blast

Hey all,

I finished a 16 weeks cycle and have been on pct for 8 weeks:

Clomid: 100/100/50/50/50/50/25/25
Nolva: 40/40/20/20/20/20/20/20

I am using rui products and did a 10 day Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast prior to starting pct. I still feel that I haven't recovered as my libido is in the toilet and making gains in the gym are difficult. I just finished pct, would it hurt me to do a Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast than continue with clomid for a month after?

Damn an 8 week pct I've never heard of anyone doing it for that long. What was your cycle?

 

[dr.triceps]

16 weeks test-e 500 mg/week
4 week dbol kickstart
halodrol for 7 weeks

I originally planned for 4 weeks pct but my doctor told me to extend it for a month longer.

Now I'm debating b/w waiting 6 weeks than getting BW (which I'm almost certain will be low) or doing a short Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast, 1 month clomid and then get retested.

Could it hurt me to do a Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) blast at this time to try and get the testes going

You probably just need to be patient. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is suppressive to the HPTA. Adding another blast might actually set you back. I would give your PCT drugs time to clear your system. Then see what's going on with bloodwork.
You seemed to have done everything right. I would simply wait. If you see absolutely no improvement, then you might try another post cycle therapy (pct). None of this works overnight. And everyone seems to recover at different paces.

8 weeks of PCT?? I guess that's why hes a DR. Never heard of that before.

anyone else notice a recent trend of people postponing their pct so they can blast hcg.... can someone explain the purpose of postponing pct several weeks so you can blast hcg?

Wait
You can't avoid down time

 

[dr.triceps]

I blasted Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) after my last shot of test for 10 days. I started post cycle therapy (pct) two weeks after my last test injection. I think I'll be patient and let the clomid clear my system then retest. I just hate the fact that I virtually can't make any gains in the gym now.

Also, your current inability to make gains might be related to your diet. I'm on the Clomid/Nolvodex part of my post cycle therapy (pct) now. I feel mildly nauseous most of the time. And I notice that my "appetites" are screwy too. I'm never feel hungry.... But when I start to eat I'm suddenly famished. I never feel like having sex... But when I start doing it... I'll get into it.
All this makes it hard to eat. I have to remind myself and stick to my schedule of eating regardless of my appetite.

You don't "postpone" post cycle therapy (pct). You just do the blast during the downtime while you're waiting for the steroids to clear your body. You can't do post cycle therapy (pct) anyway till your test levels are normal to low. Clomid won't be able to stimulate the HPTA if it senses that there's no need to. On a typical cycle that's 2-3 weeks of downtime. You might just as well plump the boys up and get them ready to do their job!

DET OAK's sticky on post cycle therapy (pct) explains it better than I can.

I'm not sure if its my diet. I've always been pretty good in that regard. Currently I'm eaating:

9am: 7 scrambled egg whites, 2 whole eggs, sugar free oatmeal, cup of blueberries
11am: chicken breast and yams
1pm: two cans of tuna and two slices of wheat bread
train 2pm
post workout shake immediately after
4pm: grilled chicken and brown rice
7pm: steak and green veggies
10pm salmon, cottage cheese, and 2 spoons on natural peanut butter

Exactly, I know what you mean, I have to force myself to get my meals in. Appetite isn't nearly the same as it was on cycle. It's become more habit now. My sex drive has improved since the start of pct but it's still trash. I have to take a preworkout to get amped up for training. It's like no matter how much I eat and train my muscles feel softer than normal. This has never happened to me before.
