Post Ostarine –need help interpreting labs.

[satsumass]

Hi all. 33 year old male, 225lbs, beefy muscular, (plenty of fat).

My endo has had me on TRT for a long time, Axiron 3x/day. I've also used Test E in the past.

I used Ostarine 12.5-25mg/day for about a month, and felt some definite shutdown effects (libido mostly). Before ostarine, I was using anavar about 30-40mg/day mostly with the goal of visceral fat reduction (not sure it did much). Both of these were along with daily Axiron, 3x/day.

I stopped Ostarine last week, and have continued with the Axiron, and just got labs. Libido is still pretty weak. I am not a hardcore BB (I do HIT lifting (superslow) about 1x/week) nor have I done a real-deal cycle before, so need some HELP figuring out whether I need some PCT from the anavar+ostarine. (My understanding is fairly limited and would rather not spend hours researching). Here are my labs (labcorp) taken two days ago, about a week after ostarine. Remember I am still using Axiron 3 swipes a day:

Test, serum: 408 ng/dl
LH: 2.8
FSH: 2.0
Estradiol: 9.1

How do I interpret? Test is def a bit lower than it has been in the past. Feel best around 800-1000. LH and FSH don't signal "shutdown" to me, but would appreciate help? Estradiol seems OK?

Do I need any form of PCT? If so, what, and how to take? Libido is definitely shut down and I am fatigued. No morning anything, very limp. Small loads.

You're on TRT already, so unless you come off all together, you're still introducing exogenous hormones into your system, and PCT would essentially be a waste in my opinion. Adding in Unleashed would definitely help the libido and morning wood, as well as upping your free testosterone level. It won't do much in the way of total testosterone levels though.

Also, if you're on TRT already, talk to your DOCTOR about the lab results and those numbers. He'll know what you previous tests were, and can adjust things if need be.

This is why its important to do blood work before so you have a baseline to compare too
