Help with recovery

[illuminate]

Hoping for a bit of advice regarding recovery. I payed the price of a crap PCT years ago, heavy shut down ruined libido and poor erections, it took me ages to recover.

I used the HCG protocol, I made a great, fast recovery – My nuts were back to normal size, morning wood every day and sex drive, although a little lower than pre steroids, nothing too bad, life was good


About three months after I finished the protocal, I really struggled to get it up one night - next morning I had no morning wood and my nuts are much smaller, almost as if I’m on cycle. I can get a hard while having sex but I’m just going through the motions. when im hard my nuts feel really small................3 months on, no morning wood, nuts are small, I have almost no interest is sex, depression is taking its toll big time.


Anyone any ideas hot to get things back on track – I went to get my blood work and everything is at the "lower end of normal".


FOLLICLE STIM. HORMONE 2.0 IU/L 1.5 - 12.4

LUTEINISING HORMONE 3.7 IU/L 1.7 - 8.6

TESTOSTERONE 11.4 nmol/L 7.6 - 31.4

Reference Ranges apply to adults

SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOB 15 nmol/L 11 - 52


Testosterone/SHBG Ratio 76.0 24 - 104

PROLACTIN 139 mIU/L 86 - 324


I have had no AAS in my system for over a year now. I know that the results show me within normal, but the lower end of normal for 27 years old I cannot imagine being good.

I Never get morning wood and I cannot ever be bothered with sex, regardless of what the test says I know something is wrong.

I had morning wood every day before I cycled and my sex drive was out of control, I was borderline sex addict, now It seems like a chore.

Anything that can be done??

I was advised by some one to run some clomid or do with some HCG but I would rather get the thoughts of an expert or and experienced member on this forum.

That low test level would definitely account for your low lobido and mood. You can try doing more PCT type of recovery likeHCG, HCG generate, unleashed, bridge etc. Doesn't say your E2 levels but good to know those also. Some arimidex could also help raise your test levels. What was the last cycle you did and do you know what your test level was prior? The other option if your natty levels remain stubborn to rise is test replacement therapy with HCG and an AI. That's what I went on when my test levels were slow to recover and have felt great in everyway since but I'm also 39.

I would use Some Clomid 50mg ed for one month if no improvement continue for three moths.

Well I ran the Clomid for 2 weeks, I only had two weeks worth so thought I would see how I went, my progress is as follows:

Steadily through the two weeks I felt a little better every day, my nuts began to feel full again and had more of an interest in sex than normal. After I finished taking the clomid for about three days I felt amazing, sex drive was through the roof, was amazing to feel like that again, I even was getting morning wood, which was amazing as it has been a long time since I have woken up like that.

I am afraid to say that none of this lasted, my nuts feel a little fuller now but the sex drive is completely gone, morning wood is no more and i'm feeling like crap again.

The Clomid defiantly had a massive impact, just the impact didn't last.

Do you think if I ran the clomid again for a longer period it may make a difference?


Shavas, you said to try test replacement therapy with HCG and an AI, if i decided to go down that route, what kind of dosing should i be looking at??
