Shut down from 100mg/wk Cyp, on 10 months

[-SD-]

hcg works wonders.

keep us updated.

the doc mentioned that and i told him im already on it, took my second shot saturday, 1000i.u. every 4 days, 20 days.
But you were right, ive been feeling like shit, and even hard to drag myself out of bed every day.

dont jump to conclusions yet. a competent endo should be able to help you.

its gonna be a long recovery for you

Three shoulder surgeries and major ear surgery so i know all about being patient for the body to come around. im just pissed at myself for even doing this in the first place. as long as balls arent permanently shutdown i will be ok
Hope guys are reading this and taking notes. Get bloodwork done often, no matter how much of a pain in the ass it is!!!

Hey Superdave, how you been doing? did you restart your nuts and T production?

What is your purpose for even comming off? You were on HRT for 10 months basically. Why not just stay on forever at your HRT dose?

Because being on HRT, my T levels were lower than when I started so whats the point of being on anymore? Plus all the good effects of test I had when I first started had dissappeared because I was shut down totally. Im not going to play the up-the-dose game either, not worth it.

*Update* went to the endo who did labs and my test was normal range, ~530 (292-1500 range) or something cant remember but I know it was in the 500's. And I was hungover like a big dog so should have been low. Although LH was still shut down but Im guessing that will come back up in time also.

This whole thing is a crap shoot, Im just going to stay the hell off gear until I want to hit a full on cycle or something. Its just not worth the trouble of buying the test and shooting it just to get shut down after a while. My little experiment to just "goose up" an otherwise clinically normal test level didnt work out but at least Im not permanently damaged (I hope). Just to be sure Im going in for labs in a couple months to see if the last lab was fluke. Gotta check my sperm count also.

Ive heard great things about HGH but it seems way too expensive at this point. Also it has its own set of problems and drawbacks that are different from gear that Im not entirely familiar with.

All you guys who are young and have normal test levels but want to bump it up like I did with "HRT" be careful and make sure you get your labs done at least once every 3 months.

You originally stated:

Pre HRT=
Test: 468 Range 241-827
SHBG: 22 Range: 13-71
Free Test: 12 Range: 6.0-27.0

5 month labs=
Test: 990 Range 241-827
SHBG: 13 Range 13-71
Free Test: 33.6 Range 6.0-27.0

10 month lab (NOW)=
Test: 159 Range 241-827
SHBG: 16 Range 13-71
Free Test: 4.3 Range 6.0-27.0


At your 5 month lab test of being on HRT you test level was 990, a good level to be at, and it's higher than when you started. That sounds right on point because I take 100mg of cyp a week for HRT but I recently added 100mg of EQ and had a blood test done and my T level was 1900, so I believe that just on 100mg of cyp a week I'd be at 900 like you were. I don't understand why you would want to come off of 100mg a week HRT.

Ok got lab work done since being on 100mg/wk Cyp for the last 10 months. Results are:
Test: 159 Range 241-827
SHBG: 16 Range 13-71
Free Test: 4.3 Range 6.0-27.0

I havent taken any sort of ancillaries, just test at 100mg/wk every week for 10 months since I had low test before this, now my test is even lower and its obvious Ive been shut down. I tried to use the search for certain bros information (nelson, needto) but it wasnt working so Im just posting up.
I need to know the best course of action to get my T-levels back up, if it means quitting all test injections so be it, my levels are even lower than when i started now anyhow.
I have HCG on hand and have taken 1000i.u. and will continue that every 4th day for a total of 20 days, beyond that i dont know what else to take???

I wouldn't say shutdown. My total test was 28, (bottom of scale was 280), my free test was 1.0 (bottom of scale was 6.3) That is what I would call shut down!
