Hi everyone, so I’m 23 yo, last year I did cycle from March to July 2024 consisting of test prop (150 mg every third day), masteron (100mg every third day), anavar and winstrol (both 30mg per day, oral). I was reckless last year and addicted to drugs so I didn’t really workout and because of withdrawals, I abruptly stopped my cycle and didn’t do neither pct nor hcg. Right now I am training naturally to recover numbers to baseline, I should note that I didn’t workout from July to December 2024, right now I am working out intensely 1 month. I had lab test before cycle and in beginning of January 2025.
I consulted the doctor he told me that I’m recovering pretty well and that I’ll restore naturally without pct or hcg. However, I want to responsibly run second cycle in mid-late April consisting of boldenone, testosterone, masteron, possibly HGH and of course hcg during cycle and proper pct after cycle. Am I good if I do not do hcg or pct now, considering my natural recovery and do both hcg during second cycle and pct after second cycle? Please, do not tell me not to run cycle or etc, I just want to hear about how to do it with maximum responsibility. Thanks!
I ran my lab results through chatgpt, here are the numbers below
Current Hormonal Status
- Testosterone
• Pre-cycle: 5.68 ng/mL (~568 ng/dL)
• Post-cycle: 445.6 ng/dL
• Interpretation: Your testosterone is improving (morning wood is a good sign), but it’s not back to pre-cycle levels yet. Training, a healthy diet, and consistent recovery should help further improvements.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
• Pre-cycle: 4.79 mIU/mL
• Post-cycle: 2.75 mIU/mL
• Interpretation: LH drives testosterone production. Although it’s lower than baseline, it’s not suppressed to severe levels, which supports your doctor’s optimism about natural recovery.
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
• Pre-cycle: 2.37 mIU/mL
• Post-cycle: 1.99 mIU/mL
• Interpretation: FSH affects sperm production more than testosterone. The small drop isn’t alarming, but further monitoring is advised.
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
• Pre-cycle: 3.12 μIU/mL
• Post-cycle: 3.474 μIU/mL
• Interpretation: TSH is slightly elevated, which might indicate mild stress on the thyroid post-cycle. It’s not a significant concern unless accompanied by symptoms of hypothyroidism (e.g., fatigue, weight gain).
- Prolactin
• Current: 12.03 ng/mL
• Interpretation: This is within the normal range, suggesting no significant prolactin-related issues (e.g., hyperprolactinemia).
- Estradiol
• Current: 26.7 pg/mL
• Interpretation: Normal levels, meaning estrogen is under control, reducing the likelihood of hormonal imbalance symptoms.
Factors Supporting Recovery
-
Morning Wood: A strong indicator of recovering testosterone levels and improved androgen receptor sensitivity.
-
Strength Training: Boosts natural testosterone and LH.
-
No Severe Suppression: Your post-cycle levels (especially LH and testosterone) were not completely suppressed, so recovery is more likely.
-
Doctor’s Assessment: They believe you’re recovering naturally, and current labs don’t indicate the need for aggressive intervention (e.g., hCG, SERMs).
