steroids and endogenous testosterone production

[pursuit]

Hey there,

I don't have any quotes or anything but do get the feeling from the forum that steroids DO permanently affect natural testosterone production, despite the affect that people generally do PCT. There just seems to be a lot of people on here that have to go on HRT.

Do you think it is a case that this will only be caused by long term use or can it be caused by short term use as well ( albeit on a smaller scale)?

Like, perhaps some people are getting their levels checked and finding out that levels are fine (say 600) but what they don't realise is that their level may have previously been 700 or something.

Also ive heard of studies in that with say clomid therapy, an ex steroid user restored testosterone, but after clomid use stopped the levels declined.

So, really Im wondering could some bros demonstrate if it is possible to FULLY restore test. levels permanently, and others give accounts of their own experiences with natural testosterone restoration.

My guess as to why so many former steroiders go on HRT is because, having used, they know how it is to feel abundant testosterone. If later they do have issues, they recognize more readily that something isn't right because they have a basis of comparison

Could there be permanent damage to natural steroid production? Nobody's ever mentioned this but is it possible that the body wont produce as much test as before, or even half. HRT, why are you guys on it??? Is it because body cant produce or what.

Every boby is different , i guess that if you doo proper testing before and after, proper PCT , you wont have a problem with lab test results, but as i said every one is different, btw... lab test vary too much from period to period, so lab test have to be performed in a regular basis, so you can monitore how u r.
