3 Months Into Cycle, Now Having Low Mood/Tired/Etc. Why?

everything was fine 4-5 weeks ago. I started maybe lift too hard and heavy due to a very long break… need to admit that. Also no problem in Hematocrit, it is 45%. First month i started with 1ml/300mg pinned once a week, did this like 5-6 weeks and was feeling super good!. Then i switched to 500mg/week E5D. Also, i need to admit, my doses have not been so accurate for the whole 3.5 months. But if i would have been taking my Test levels 24 hours after injection, what would they have been ? if they were now 89.9 After like 90-96 hours after injection.

Deload for a week and ramp back up into it.
I took a few days off this week due to being sick. Deadlift this morning was 20kg more then last week and easier. If your not recovering, your not progressing and your going to start feeling pretty shitty when your body has had enough.

You don’t mean heavy as in like singles and trying to PR every week do you?

Yeah, I have been now off the gym for 2 weeks. Problem is realy tired, no motivation, lost of appetite… :s Last injection, the 0.6ml was last Saturday.

Heavy i mean with a long break, i started doing 1.5 hour workouts full body 3x week with rep range of 12-20. in the first 4-5 weeks. Then i was doing 2x body 2x week. Rep range 8-15 but pushing hard.

2 weeks is plenty of time to recover.

I’m not sure dude. Maybe a full blood test might point out something.

I did take a full bloodtest, but it has disappeared from me viewing it. i can post it here soon today, they didnt know why it disappeared from my view… And also… now i need to tell some false shit to my doctor when she will see my Test levels…

Not sure how your going to do that with test that high.

Are you being discreet for insurance purposes?

not a insurance thing, i just tell something to her… More worried about those i posted, Why suddenly No interest to anything,Tired,Lost appetite,Lost motivation

Year ago my T-4v has been 20 and TSH 1.83. Now like i said t-4v 23 and TSH 4…

But i have been tired, no motivation and things like that for many years… I got everything back from the first Test injection, but now they have suddenly gone again.

Hmm… one thing that popped on my mind. My hemoglobin has always been like 162-170, i smoke alot. How the fuck it has been now on the cycle 142-146 ? how is it possible my hemoglobin goes lower with 500mg test… Also, Should i go take free testosterone and shbg ? i am realy clueless what can cause this all shit to me right now. And when the S-test was 89.9 // 4 days after injection, what would it has been 24 hours after injection…

Honestly no idea.

Always good to have as reference.

Can’t be sure but I would hazard a guess at 20% higher.

I’ve seen comments on here that on cycle they may not feel the best, and feel better at a lower dose. Obviously there’s plenty of people who feel great while on but not all do.

Also the first few weeks your levels are still increasing, you were probably in a spot where all the hormones lined up briefly for that good feelz mane. Could also be some placebo. :man_shrugging:

People should listen to me a little more often.

This is called “placebo effect”. You expected to feel like Superman and lo and behold you felt like Superman. Almost like your mind is an incredibly powerful thing that controls literally everything about your body.

Your pinning schedule gives me a migraine by proxy. It was inconsistent and you made changes—which take weeks to notice—fairly randomly. Add that to your low thyroid and e2 that is probably a little low for your total test levels and you’ve got a recipe for feeling less than your best. Everything can be explained.

Thanks for reply. Yes, i have been stupid and My doses have not Been accurate, excepts The first 5-6 weeks 1x 300mg week. So maybe TSH is going up and down because of that?. About you say the estrogen Be bit low for my test, i have not Been taking any AI so i cant increase it… or yes i can, add test or other compound. I havw not ever Tool ferritine, maybe i should check My ferritine. Do you think i Start feeling better 1ml monday, 1ml thursday?

Definately not placebo, i was not thinkin “now i get huge and get super energy” and thing like that. I was more like thinkin every day “hmm what symptoms i might get/have now, maybe i die”. My energy went way off the roof, i can say it was feeling the same like when i have taken amfetamine few times years ago. In first week, like my all anxiety sumptoms etc disappeared. Now i feel exhausted almost when i walk… would realy appriciate some advices, even speculations.

Another side note… I was dump i admit. I had years of break and started like condition 0, and it went up like skyrocket… i have been off now for 1 week, i think i take 1 more week off, then start pinning 250mg/week…

So your planning on BnC?

Sounds like anemia to me. Check your Iron and Ferritin. Might be as simple as an iron supplement.

I had low iron on cycle once because I was taking daily baby aspirin for BP and I believe it caused some internal bleeding

Will go take my ferritin to see what it is, Ferritin - > iron. All this is little bit a mess and need to find out solution. Yes i plan on Blast and Cruise, but need to get these symptoms handled somehow first, i mean find the things what are causing these.

I am ready to hear all the moralisation from my doctor at Tuesday… i did go take all tests from public healthcare, because tought my test i junk… apparently it was not, and now i am kinda shit situation… but the doctor should still threat me without moralisation, and she cant stop my medicines i have been taking 10 years…
