post cycle and androgel...

[FISHTALES]

Im asking for a frienf thats coming off of a 12 week cycle of test and EQ. his doc prescribed andro-gel to him about a year ago, when, during PCT should he start using the gel again?

Using another AAs is not PCT (recovery). In the vernacular, it is "bridging." Your HPTA will remain suppressed.

his doc, told him, that the gel would not suppress his natural test. a year and a half after his previous cycle i when he was prescribed the gel because his levels were to low, does this mean his levels will not regain on their own as long as he is using the gel?

His doc is wrong, UNLESS his baseline, natural levels are below normal to begin with. Then, recovery for him is senseless. IF the doc didn't attempt a recovery cycle before committing him to HRT, then shame on the doc. Just because one's testos levels are low, doesn't mean they can't be recovered--especially if the low testos levels were caused by an AAS cycle. That is why I test all components of the HPTA--LH, FSH, estradiol, prolactin..and not just testos levels.
