Did anyone tested his TT before and after cycle and proved 100% recovery or very very close to that?
Plenty of guys have recovered fully. General rule is that there’s a sweet spot in age where you recover well and after that it gets harder and harder, but tough to say where that begins and ends.
Do you think it makes a difference if you run hCG throughout the cycle? I see it’s not recommended often but aside from estrogen, I see nearly no downside if you got recombinant hCG.
In my estimation the limiting factor in recovering are most often the testicles. This problem would be solved with hCG. Any thoughts?
Theoritically using hcg must make cycle significantly safer but there is no escape from a period where you need your lh and fsh to bounce back and in my opinion serms will just fix that temporary
SERMS speed up the natural process.
My train of thought is that the H and P recover better and faster than the testicles, so hCG should make a huge difference.
But my question is did anyone proved achieving a full recovery or at least felt horny again as he used to before doing any cycle?
Honestly I am asking this question because I did a cycle few months ago I still didn’t retest my blood but I still don’t feel the same as I used to and I want to see if there is any chance to be my old self again.
YouTube channel vigorous Steve has documented this. He recovered, and he’s late 30’s. It’s possible, but since were all unique snowflakes, your experience will differ

For sure everyone is different but sometimes we need to see what is humanly possible
Hi gymaholic97 you aren’t giving us much to go on. When I see 97 in your handle is that the year you graduated HS? What cycle did you do and for how long? Did you PCT post cycle?
This forum is one of the best since we have members from all age groups HS to 70’s but you need to provide as much info as possible to get good answers. I have never been on a forum so helpful as this one if you can provide enough details. The pharma guys on this forum really are the best of the best. I own all my gains from the advice I have read here over the years.

My guess is year he was born
It very much is
You already got the answer. I think you could also see it in MENT studies (or was it Dimethandrolone?). Plenty of guys recover fully. Often takes 6-18 months
Yes that is the year I was born in, I did a cycle on July last year and I was an idiot I didn’t know what I was doing and I hardly had any idea what steroids are.
And yes I did a PCT; before doing it my test was 214ng and LH was 1.5mIU at the end of my PCT my TT was 1350ng but I still didn’t retest after my PCT. I think I am going to retest one or two months after gyms reopen again, because I know lifting weights boosts natty T significantly, I know this very well before touching steroids I used to be horny as hell after my gym session but now I can easily stop thinking about sex for one week while when I was natty I wasn’t able to resist masturbating for a second time on the same day.
What I have done was just stupid I will provide you with all the details of my cycle when I retest and ask you about your advice, but basically what I have done was something like blasting test C for 4 weeks then cruising with trt dose or even less for 8 weeks I have used hcg through this cycle and arimidex. I can confidently say that I would progress much better if I didn’t touch steroids, My physique was better and my bodyfat percentage was lower.
I am a little bit panic these days because I feel I will jump 20 years in age just because of something I have done in a short period of time before even having any real sex experience.
Maybe if things didn’t come back to normal again I will try doing an HCG blast for a couple of months and see if this will give any permanent improvement or I will be on test for the rest of my life - even when I blasted during these 4 weeks I wasn’t very horny and I wasn’t very interested in sex as I used to.
That’s a myth. There’s other reasons why after a workout libido might be heightened or lowered.
Give it time. If you are worrying like this, steroids aren’t for you. This requires patience and it requires feeling shitty for a while. The more you focus on it; the worse it gets.

Better off doing a SERM, something that will kickstart your HPTA again, like another PCT. HCG will shut you down again
In theory SERMs should be a better idea but I have read in some studies that HCG gave a permanent improvement for testicular size and TT levels after ceasing the treatment, and I read other studies that showed no permanent improvement for patients who used SERMs their testosterone just returned to its old levels.
Maybe these studies were perform on different types of people or there is something we still don’t really understand about our HPT axis.
