The good news is that permanent shut down is very rare bro. Usually the nuts come back but it can take some time.
Did you use clomid post cycle and if so for how long?

REAL:
I have 1 more test injection before I begin my post-cycle regimen. This is my first cycle, and I had the blood work done prior to starting. It took a while for the blood work to come back, and I got tired of waiting for the results, so I got started with my cycle. I was pretty sure there was a problem with my pre-cycle natural test - which is why I started researching this board to begin with. I am very pleased with the results of the cycle, and if I can make a complete recovery of my natural test, that's all I can ask for.
All the info I used for my cycle I got here, and the research has paid off.
All my post cycle regimen will be centered on things I've learned from this board.
It goes without saying that I'm a thousand times better off from knowledge gained here than I would have been if I relied only on my doctor.
To date, the doc's mentioned nothing about seeing an endocrinologist, how the HPTA works, that hormone replacement is for life, etc. He prescribed 250mg/month of enanthate the week after I started my cycle because that's when the bloodwork came back. I've made use of what he's prescribed and included it with my cycle, but I don't want to rely on it for life.
I am damn glad to hear that permanent shutdown is extremely rare.
