PROOF? You Decide.

[ceo]

I have a biochem background.

B Sc Biology (that was more evolutionary and ecology, but I did take chemistry, physics, cell biology, biochem)

B Sc Biomedical Sciences - first class honours degree and the President's Prize cause I was such a girlie swot. This degree was a lot of biochem, genetics, haematology, microbiology

Right now I am finishing off my M Sc in clinical biochemistry. I have finished and passed the taught part, now just my research project to complete.

Almost there!!!!!

Also probably more than 10 years of lab experience in total, in research and medical labs.

Go make us some steroids woman!!

That is more organic chemistry, I do wish I had more background in that area, I have to really work at deciphering formulas.

All of my education and degree are more about human biology/biochem/physiology/genetics in health and disease.

Damn I haven't gotten morning wood very often for years, even before cycling. That's probably bad as I'm only 22. I had a long period of very high stress about 2 years ago tho and it def killed my sex drive during that time. I don't think I've ever been the same after that. I think when I fully recover from my cycle I'm going to go get my test levels checked and see where I stand. I would hate to be an HRT patient at 22.

Interestingly enough the only time recently that I did get strong morning wood when I was on a low dose test/tren/mast cycle and took unleashed for a couple days. I guess that says something about it.

You should definitely get that checked out once you're FULLY recovered from your cycle. How's your libido otherwise? erections (not to get personal)... if any of those are "lacking", then those are sure signs your natty test levels are lower than normal for your age. Hell, if you have to go on HRT, even at 22, DO IT! Do you honestly want to drudge through 10 years before saying "F-k it, I've had enough of feeling like crap every day!" I wish I had learned years ago about HRT (and I'm only 33)!

By the way, I'm sure the reason you're getting wood on that cycle is probably cuz of the test and mast... sure, Unleashed helps too.

Nah what I meant was that the only days on that cycle that I got morning wood were the couple days I used unleashed. Then when I came off and did pct using unleashed, no more morning wood probably because of low test levels -- too low even for unleashed to make my free test high enough for that.

I do plan on having my levels checked. I want to wait at least 6 months to do it though. I feel 95% recovered now but I want to make sure I'm back to normal before getting tested.

My libido is ok but it hasn't really been super high since I was 17 or 18 or so. But even then I don't think it was as high as most people but thats a really hard thing to judge. I have a lot of the symptoms like tired all the time, sometimes depressed, etc. But I need other things checked first. I get really bad sleep pretty much all the time (wake up at least once a night sometimes a couple times, dont feel rested in the morning ever) so I really need to get my sleep patterns checked first. Can getting bad sleep affect test levels?

Also its hard to tell what exactly "depression" is, I mean everyone feels down sometimes. Plus I have always had an anxiety disorder my whole life so that contributes a lot to it. I know stress can lower test levels and I have lots of added stress from the anxiety and also most of my depression I think stems from that too but its hard to say. So I feel like there could be many factors.

But should a 21yo/22yo be getting morning wood every day? The last time I got it all the time had to be when I was 17 or 18. Maybe even 19 but its hard to remember. I know 18yo is basically the peak for male sex drive but I don't think its supposed to dive down that hard that fast.

There was a 6 month period where I was under a lot of stress (cant really talk about it) but that KILLED my sex drive. Imagine having a girlfriend that loves to fuck all the time, and I'm the one that doesn't want to. It fuckin sucked. Part of that was that I wasn't very physically attracted to her, but overall my libido was really low at that time. I had problems keeping it up when I was fuckin her. But like I said I wasn't really physically attracted to her so that had a LOT to do with it. But I didn't really want sex at all during that time, not even just from her. I never felt like my libido came back 100% after that.

Also its always been hard for me to gain muscle and its been hard for me to loose fat both of which I know can have to do with low test levels, but I don't know how much of that is just because I didn't know proper diet and training. The next 6 months should clear that up for me though as I know more now than I ever did.

Those are all indicators of low natural test levels.... and yes, being sleep-deprived LOWERS your test levels...but lower test levels also causes poor sleep habits... it's a viscious cycle... in the next few months, clean up your diet, make a conscious effort to sleep more / better, and see what happens...if little or no improvement, you have your answer! (my guess is HRT will be in order)

I'm gonna give it a shot. I've got my diet in total check now, have for a few months but I'm refining it more and more. Also I've been trying new lifting routines and added cardio to help burn fat. I always thought I was a total ecto but I think I may be half ecto half endo (heh worst of both worlds, small joints and hard gainer but gain fat easily haha). Also I am currently Wulfgars top choice for a natty person to train for 2 months so we'll see what he can do with me if he ends up picking me. Either way I'm getting my total/free test levels checked in about 6 months just to be sure.

I should probably also mention that I've never really been an aggressive person either and I know higher test levels are associated with being more aggressive (and I'm not talking about roid rage). But once again that can be attributed to having social anxiety for years (makes you pretty passive).

Either way it's a pointless discussion until I actually get my levels checked, so we'll see.
