I’m going to book my first ever blood work tomorrow. Still don’t feel like I’m back to normal after my last cycle. I’ll post the results here so you guys can point and laugh

Just stay on a trt dose for life it is much easier than all the PCT shit. I hate the recovery process dont know why anyone would choose to feel that way.

Well keep in mind I’m in my 20’s so that’s a huge commitment to make. Plus how expensive is it? And if you travel a lot, can you always bring the shit with you? I’m painfully ignorant on what life on TRT would be like.

potential fertility issues are the thing that stops me from blasting and cruising

Precisely… Really don’t want some other dude to father my future prodigy kid

Go and get some of your swimmers put in the freezer, just in case.

I agree with you rds, even though I’ve heard of guys getting their girls pregnant while on I just don’t know.

How much would this cost?

I don’t know, I just randomly leave it in chicks ice cube trays before I leave.

LOL

I just don’t think it’s worth the risk. I’m 27, and I don’t want kids for a few years yet, but it would be nice to have the option.

Soooo 1 month after PCT I should be clear to hop back on ?

Right there with ya, I want kids but not anytime soon but I don’t want to fuck with the chance of not being able too

That depends on your body and now fast you recover. Waiting a month in my opinion is an aggressive approach even though I’m guilty of it, it is also a good idea to let you body do its thing for a bit.

I always try to wait at least 2 months. If it were me and I waited a month after pct and hop back on, after that cycle I would give it more time off after pct

I used to wait a month when I was cycling on and off, but that was just a rough window. I was more concerned with how I felt and how my body functions were reacting. What I mean is after a month if I was feeling good, had proper energy levels, not depressed and could get horny and fuck with no problems, I considered myself recovered. I would get blood work and if all was good, begin a new cycle. So roughly 50-60 days from last injection I was back on.

I will be the first to admit I treat my body like a play ground though.

lol I really see no reason to even cycle at that point…it completely defeats the purpose (understand you now opt to blast/cruise).

I can’t make that decision for you–you are a grown ass man.

But as far as what I “think”, since you asked, it appears to me that you are looking for any reason you can to justify not utilizing a conservative approach to cycling. Only your goals can dictate whether it is warranted or not, but you need to be asking yourself these questions:

-What do I hope to accomplish (strength, size, leanness, being “purty”)?
-What are the long term risks of taking the route to get there (hypogonadism, imprisonment, disrupted endocrione system, elevated blood counts, gyno)?
-What are the long term impacts if those risks are realized (financial, personal, societal, legal)?
-Do the risks/impacts justify the goals?

Personally, I will be quite honest that I see absolutely no reason a guy who is not a PAID competitive athlete or fitness model or something should increase their risk–I know I wouldn’t. The long term potential damage to your HPTA and other body functions are not worth it. Regardless of how overblown the risks are by media sensationalism, one must acknowledge that they do exist and are potentially damaging.

Therefore, I do whatever I can in this forum to recommend guys cycle conservatively.

I think,off time is how did your cycle plus the pct took …
exaple 10 weeks teso 2 weeks to clear 4 weeks pct =16 weeks
after the end of my pct i will wait 16 weeks
what do you think?
