So, I got my testorone level test results back... and it is LOW!

[c gheller]

I was thinking to run 250mg/week Test (which my HRT Doc prescribes me), and adding the 50-100mg/week Deca in myself. Would you think i could run that Deca dose long term with no sides (progesterone)?

i don't see results w less than 300mg/wk deca. personally, i wouldn't run less.

Do you get Deca sides at that dose?

I completed a second PCT to try to recover my natural test, and it was successful. I only want to use HRT if I need it - only after having made every effort to recover my natural test and still being low. I got my blood levels retested and I am now at 520, squarely in the middle of normal! An HRT clinc would still "help" me at that level, but it is no longer necessary now. So I decided not to do HRT at this time.

Looks like I have recovered from my cycle.

Strangely, even though my test and other hormone levels are normal, my sex drive is definitely a lot lower than it was several months ago. So it seems like something about my cycle has left a long lasting impact on my body. I would love to resolve that and get back my usual crazy horniness, but I'm not sure what to do next.

Yes you are recovered, but do you plan on cycling in the future? If so how do you know you are going to go through the same problem with recovery/

Although Total testosterone is good to know, it's not an accurate representation of your how much test is available for for body's use. Get your Bio-Available testosterone checked. Did you get your prolactin & estrogen checked as well? If those values were high, this could drive up your SHBG which in turn sucks up more Bio-T, leaving you with shit. Also alot of user's report that the Nolva/Clomid combo increases SHBG, which could be another explanation (assuming you do indeed have low Bio-T).

DJSF, how long after this round of PCT did you have your tests done? Just wondering if there are still some remaining affects. Not trying to be pessemistic here as you will remember I am in the same situation (although I started HRT) and may want to give this a try.

Wish I had a solid suggestion other than "give it a month". I'm glad to hear that you're making progress!

Bang on the money Mr. Black . SHBG may be the issue. Elevated E2 raises SHBG.

Adex coupled with herbals like Tongkat Ali have helped me with this in the past.

More thorough blood testing will reveal all.
