Trippin out, bloodwork says test levels FAR below normal (never cycled before)

[Spades24]

I have never cycled AAS or PH before. At my last doctor visit I asked the doctor to give me a full blood panel, including testosterone. He insisted as a 24 year old, I didn't need it especially since I'm sexually active with no problems. He finally agreed to the test upon my insistence, and to my dismay he has told me that my total test level is 212. Normal test levels for someone up to 30 years old is up to about 700. What's annoying is he said not to even worry about it because he has no idea how to interpret it considering I have no trouble getting erections.

I should note that the reason I went to the doctor in the first place is because I had strep throat. Not sure if that had any effect. Also I have finals coming up and am stressed.

I plan to see an endocrinologist for a second FULL test to see my free test levels too. The whole point of having this test done was so I had the baseline for future reference after cycling, but I wasn't expecting this.

Should I maybe give up on my plans to cycle? I already spent an assload of money on the gear.

At the very least I'd figure out why your test levels are low before cycling. Probably due to stress and illness but I'd wait til everything is sorted out

Bro...I had the same test when I was 32 ish. I had numbers very simialr and got the same speech. the guys said the exact same shit and even said the lower the better as long as I get erections because of cnacer, heart diseas, etc. etc. i was pissed and he would not enterain HRT or a referral for it. I had been celan for a long time, never did harsh cycles and always did good pct. I said fuck it and cycled away....

Well this concerns me because it means I may not recover as well as I had hoped and maybe need a more aggressive pct? Already ordered my ish tho!

Also my plan was to do a 12 week bulk cycle with test e/beast starting in July with 5 week pct and then a 12 week cut cycle with test e/anavar starting in march, which is just short of "time on + pct = time off"

If I do second cycle that soon, could I risk harming or shutting down my natural test production forever?

there are other factors that influence your test levels. what kind of lifestyle do you live?

it is not true someone up to 30 averages 700. with the poor lifestyles most americans live and the environmental factors such as crap in our food and water that number should be halved.

as long as it isn't ruining your life then dont sweat it. just run cycles and recover.

I'm in law school and have a stressful lifestyle. However I'm on a cut eight now and eat extremely clean and havnt touched alcohol in like 3 months. I'm in the gym 6 days a week

your PCT should always be aggressive.

Also my plan was to do a 12 week bulk cycle with test e/beast starting in July with 5 week pct and then a 12 week cut cycle with test e/anavar starting in march, which is just short of "time on + pct = time off"

thats what blood tests are for. dont run a cycle until you recover..
and what about the guys that have 800 test levels that run cycles? who is the person taking the biggest chance you or them? atleast in your case your levels are already low

Go see the endo before you start cycle or any thing else..... you may have to start TRT sooner rather than later...might be no harm to be honest with the endo and tell him you plan to cycle. It is totally confidential and he might dose your TRT accordingly.
Thats my honest opinion.

and dont get too hung up on low natty test levels...im 38 and mine are quite low and always have been. am not on TRT yet but will be in the near future. My endo knows i cycle aas and never gives me much hassle when i ask him to look at my blood work

 

[Spades24]

Definitely seeing an endo within a couple weeks and I'm not planning on cycling until July

My plan for pct was clomid 50/50/25/25/25 with forma stanzol 10 pumps a day. Is that not aggressive enough?
