Help! -test is shut down and NOT coming back!

You seem to be doing most things right. Only thing is maybe you should supplement with more zinc. It is important but is most likely not the only problem here. I'd also recommend hitting clomid therapy.

Get your bloodwork tested again...could be wrong...this doesn't sound right.

You may want to go on some clomid for a while. If that doesn't work, I suggest going to work with a skilled endocrinologist, preferably, one with experience working with patients who have used steroids.

What you don't say in your posts is where were your test levels before you started the cycle? I can see that they are not very high now but if they were low to begin with you may be trying to get back to a point where they never were in the first place. The course I would recommend is arimidex every day at 1mg/day for the next month and then re-test.

1. You did a 16-week cycle. It's been said before, but this is why it's better to keep the cycles down to 8 weeks.

2. You're "bridge" probably kept you shut down. Not to mention you had deca and test enanthate in your body still from the first 6 weeks...

3. You only did clomid for 2 weeks.

If I were you I'd buy enough clomid to last me for 3 months and start out at 100mg/day and only drop it to 75mg or 50mg if the 100mg makes you all pissy and acne-covered. And throw in 10mg-20mg/day of nolvadex for the first few weeks too.

Clomid is cheap and you can be on it years at a time with no problems. I would guess that 2 weeks of 50mg/day was just too little for far too short a time--especially after a 16 week cycle.

Thanks for the comments and info. My natural test level usually stays around 500. I always got great results from very low dosages, but decided to press my luck with higher doses on this last cycle. I agree with the comment that this was a 16 week cycle b/c bridging does not mean your "off", but this cycle produced incredible gains that pushed me past previous sticking points. Was it worth using high dosages?.....probably not considering my situation. I may do longer clomid therapy after getting another blood test in 2 weeks.

Clomid plus some Nolvadex for a few weeks do it for most people, but it sounds like you aren't responding to the Clomid. Some people have taken years to get their natural production going after a cycling for a few years. If your blood work comes back low again, I would suggest Androderm or Androgel. Taken correctly they mimic the bodies natural test production and can help get you back on track.

Have any of you used androgel?
Are any of you on testosterone replacement therapy? I'd be interested to know how you are doing on replacement therapy, and if you get frequent bloodwork to monitor lipid profile and liver enzymes.
Thanks in advance!
