Hi everyone, Im 47 years old 507 250, lifting for how many years that is since 15 y/o. Recently my thyroid started crashing and i was put on replacement, also test c, at first 100 eow, first labs were much lower then upped to 200 eow, my guess still will be low or borderline at that dose. Recently retire im at the gym 6 times a week, pretty balanced routine, cardio and moderate to heavy strength. Heres my 2 questions which obviously i cant asked my doctor. I have a pretty good supply of test c, no none for sale!! But I wanted to up my doses to a level that I can see some gains without going large if you know what I mean. Currently 200 wk which is prob my Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) dose, prob will eb when my dr finally figues it all out. Im considering 400 wk, going on 10 wk cycles . The problem is if I test at dr every 12-14 weeks i will have to dry out some so I dont bend the lab results too much. I was thinking that would be a good time for post cycle therapy (pct) but will that still jack my levels up? second thought, do I need post cycle therapy (pct) or can I just revert bact to the 200 eow that the dr has me on because I will have to remain on test c anyhow and my body will not have to recover on its own due to the 200 eow rx. Any thoughts

No need for PCT, simply return to your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose. You may consider running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (Adex or similar) to prevent gyno. Another consideration is that once you stop taking the higher test doses it will take a few weeks before your test levels return to normal.
I stop running my cycles 4-6 weeks before my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dr visit. My levels are in check at that point along with my blood pressure, cholesterol and liver values. My Dr runs complete blood work.

thanks, that was my thought was to stop about 4-6 away, except for the rx dose 2 weeks prior to labs. I agree with u on the Aromatase inhibitor (AI), Im hoping to plant that seed with my dr so she can also monitor and prescribe as needed. Sounds like you are in a simular spot that I am in, how do you plan your cycles, Im wondering if 400 wk of tes c will be enough considering some of that will be to return me to normal levels (trt dose) With me, 200 eow doesnt seem enough, currently at 200 per week and I can feel that Im at or above testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) level, getting minor gains
