Noob Needs Help with Hpta Restart and Health Issues

Hi guys, I’m new here and have low t at the young age of 23. I’m going to apologize in advance for being somewhat helpless, I’ve been trying to figure out my health issues since i was seven (severe brain fog, suicidal depression, extreme social anxiety, fibromyalgia, exercise-induced anaphylaxis [yes, you read that correctly], lack of motivation, and, as always, very inconsistent performance in every little task I attempt in life) and after 15+ years of trying to crack the code with incompetent doctors, i just now came across all of this glorious info. My thyroid is finally healed (previous hypo) and I am currently in the process of trying to heal my adrenals, I would also like to tackle my low t during this time. I’ve read KSman’s thread on hpta restart and would like to attempt it. I’m fairly new to all this though, and would appreciate if someone could help me understand the exact dosages he recommends. If anybody could check this and tell me whether I interpreted it right or not, that would be fantastic.

  1. Inject 250iu hCG SC EOD once a week for 4 weeks, check labs.

  2. If my levels and symptoms have improved, take 20mg nolvadex every other day for 4 weeks, check labs.

  3. If levels are solid, taper off of nolvadex.

And anastrozole should only be taken if my E2 levels are not in line, correct? Or is it necessary to take it anyway while on hcg and nolvadex. If it is necessary, could anyone provide the exact timeline and dosage it should be administered?

I appreciate anyone willing to help me and welcome any recommendations or advice from knowledgable users.

Also, if anybody has a theory as to why I’m allergic to exercise (ive been on 15mg antihistamine since I was 8) I’d love to hear it. Exercise=full-body hive breakout if I don’t take antihistamine, have had 2 near-death experiences that both required epi-pen shots. Other health issues when I don’t take antihistamine include horrid heartburn and chronic itchiness. Sugar and especially alcohol seems to make all of these symptoms worse, but I’ve cut them out for the most part and still itch just before my anti-hist dosage. I’m currently treating h pylori with antibiotics (I’ve taken multiple probiotics for several years now in attempt to heal my gut issue), I think my heartburn has improved since I’ve begun treatment.

My endo suggested that my allergy might be connected to my adrenal fatigue, but I’ve been trying to heal my adrenals for a year and a half, no luck so far. Btw, I am, for the most part, following Wilson’s protocol. My temps over the span of two weeks averaged just below 97. Maybe I need to mega dose on Wilson’s recommended supplements??

I’m 99% sure anyone commenting will want to look at my labs in order to give the best advice possible. The last labs I had were done 1 year ago. I don’t quite remember the numbers, but the first doctor recommended I take pellets, second doctor said I had the test of a 70 year old man and wanted to begin trt immediately. I have a hard time convincing myself that poking a needle into myself every week for the rest of my life is ideal, so I’ve pushed off of that idea. I also haven’t done labs because I recently started a mild dosage of anavar. It has helped in terms of gains, but nothing else. Theres no point in looking good if you constantly feel like shit. I wasn’t sure if the anavar would affect my hormone levels on paper, so I’d be willing to stop it if ya’ll think its necessary in order to get accurate labs.

Once again, thanks to anyone taking time to help me with my case, all input is appreaciated and will certainly be taken into consideration.

Did a lot of digging and finally found my old labs, please take a gander.

It sounds like you need to stop avanar. Especially if you are investigating why your testosterone is low. The info below suggests a restart after you stop the steroid. After the restart you need to to see where u are at in labs and how you feel.

Finding a doctor to supervise this would be best.

From steroid dot com.

4] Testosterone:
The use of anabolic steroids will suppress natural testosterone production; however, the rate of suppression varies from one steroid to the next. Anavar is one of the milder suppressive steroids on the market, but most men are typically encouraged to include exogenous testosterone into their supplementation plan. Failure to do so could result in a low testosterone condition and the bothersome symptoms associated. It is, however, possible to supplement with Anavar without falling into a low testosterone state; high end performance doses will suppress total serum levels by approximately 50%, but even with a 50% reduction some men may find they’re still in a healthy range. This will be highly dependent on the individual’s natural levels, but most men will still find exogenous testosterone therapy to be warranted.

As with all anabolic steroids, once use is discontinued and all exogenous steroidal hormones have cleared the body, natural testosterone production will begin again. Natural recovery assumes no prior low level state, as well as no severe damage to the HPTA through improper supplementation practices. Recovery will not occur overnight, it will take time. For this reason, most men are encouraged to implement a post cycle therapy (PCT) plan once all steroid use is complete. PCT plans should include a SERM such as Nolvadex or Clomid, and often benefit from the use of HCG. Combining all three will provide the most efficient recovery.

Ok, thanks, I’ll put the anavar on hold. Is my HPTA interpreted outline of dosage and timeline correct as listed? Would like to be sure before I start playing with my hormones.

Some do just a SERM. Using HCG is really to see if you have primary hypogonadism. So if u start HCG and levels don’t go up you can say you have primary since HCG bypassed pituitary and stimulates testes directly to make t.

If u use just a SERM you should be fine. After 4 weeks of serm take labs u should see LH and FSH elevated. And if everything working fine testosterone should be up to. If LH high and t low you primary. Then u can still try HCG to make sure testes not keeping up.

HCG not necessary for restart. SERM is to restart hpta.
Other who have experience doing restart hopefully comment.
