Hey. So about 10 months ago I did a dumb dbl solo, not even full (3-4week( cycle. after waiting 4 months post cycle I did test and estrogen bloodwork, and TEST= 410, Estro= 39.7 (Max. 40.)
And after waiting, training I made good gains where I am now, so I did bloodwork yesterday, and the results are TEST=380, and ESTRO= came down and now is 23.5 pg/mL, lowered at least by 16.2
I was hoping to see more test as I am making good progress training, how do these stats look ? Could my test go up in some time ?
Well… Not everyone recovers properly from AAS use, you may be one of the unlucky few. Do you have baseline bloods before your cycle to get a picture of where you’re supposed to be at (for instance my pre hypogonadism bloods put me at 1000+Ng/DL).
How do you feel with regards to libido, sex drive, energy etc. Were the bloods taken in the AM or PM. honestly I wouldn’t be happy at all with a TT of 380, I felt shit at 430, terrible at 250-290 and absolutely horrendous at sub 100.
These referance ranges are pissing me the fuck off, since when is a TT of 118 considered normal, and since WHEN was a TT of 900 considered supraphysiologic?
Feeling good, got energy for gym, best progress so far than I’ve ever had (even before this dumb cycle). I guess I am fucked, because being an idiot I didnt do BW before cycle, who knows what was my T level…
I gave the blood at like 3PM, last time If I remmember correctly, It was like 12am-1pm tho.
So idk should I wait more and do bloods in like 1-2 months to see if it is going up at least, or what other choices I have to rise the TT ? My estro went to normal at least thats good right ?
Would doing something like PCT to stimulate test production be working/worth it ?
Yeah I agree about the reference rates… First time I went to take BW I told my doctor that I wanted to check my test levels, then they came, it was 410, she told me of course: ‘‘that is a good TT level, nothing to worry about young man.’’
And also : What would be other factors/things that make me gain lean muscle that I am gaining now ? I seem to recover from hard workouts good, fast. Maybe this level is what my body was at whole time, I just dont feel much different than even before 2-3 years tbh…But yeah, no BW dont before cycle as an idiot, so fuck me I guess…
Just checked , so the first bloodwork, which was after 2 months of stopping the dbol cycle(without PCT) was done exactly 6 months ago, and then estrogen was almost at 40 high and test was at 410. Could it be, that body just needs some time to recover and fill up test ? Because after these 6 months, my estro got back to normal at least, was 39.7 now is 23.4 ?
Well, ive seen cases where people are at 1% of test even after 1 year of pct, so ai guess 400 test is not too bad to be crying, ill hope it ges up now. WIll do Bloods after 1-2 months.
