My Most Recent Blood Test, Test, LH and FSH levels pretty low. What do to?
Hi there, just got the results of my most recent blood test, and I'd really like to get some feedback from the community here on how to best interpret the results.
I'm 40, 5'10, 188 lbs, 12% bf. Done two cycles, both of Test-E 600 and Deca, 300 a week, the first one for 10 weeks and the second one for 15 weeks, which ended March 1. My PCT was 4 weeks started 12 days after my last pin of Nolva and Clomid.
I got my Test levels checked 2 weeks ago and they were pretty low, at 165.
People told me I had been on my second cycle too long, and now it's taking my body a while to recuperate. I've been taking lots of herbal supplements trying to boost my test levels back to the normal range of 300-500, and right now I'm at 249.
Also take a look at my LH and FSH levels, they seem pretty low, wondering what's going on here.
(They are at 0.2, and 0.3)
The advice I got from most people is to sit tight, and give my body more time to see if it can recuperate back to normal levels. What do you think?

dbolzYour levels are going up mate you are recovering slowly but you are. Its your call to enter trt but like i told you the last time 15 weeks of deca will take ages to recover anyway. At least you didnt stay in the 100s. I would say thats a good difference for 2 weeks, give it another 4 and you will probably be in the 350-400 mark. You are at the right age for trt so do whatever you think is best for yourself
Did you run hcg at all while on cycle? You either didnt run it or didnt use enough of it hence your LH anf FSH are low.
Stop comparing to your partner you didnt run the same cycles, he didnt run deca did he? Even if he did it was his first cycle yours was the second and a long one too
Im maybe in the same boat im 28 and been on since november because I fucked my cycle up and kept going, me and a buddy were gonna just go a cpl more months and then take a long time off. I hope I didn't permanently Fuck my hormones upbut if I did then oh well I guess
56tooDid u have levels checked b4 u began cycling?
Stupidly I didn't know where to go, so I didn't do them. Live and learn!
leeboyDon't think you should be messing about trying to do PCT at 40 fella, blast and cruise will be the way forward. Your test levels will be relatively low at your age anyway unfortunately, and you may well be prescribed a TRT test dose which you can use to cruise on.
You think the best strategy is to be on TRT at this point? My workout partner did almost the same cycle, and his test levels recovered just fine, at 520 right now.
Hey bro, looks like your getting your answers. You are recovering, but slow. I want to point out that your bro @520 is still low. Considering myself after only 125ml/wk TRT had T levels well into the 900's its just a fact of mother nature at some point you going to really want to keep all that hard earned muscle and get on TRT at your age. Since your levels are rising I would def wait it out and see how high you can get them and then make a decision. You can get a script at 300, at least from my doc.
leeboyYeah you will be very happy once you go for TRT, my work mate is 38 and he used to do the cycling strategy but he noticed as he got older his test levels off cycle were dropping year by year as show on his bloodwork, his doctor put him on a TRT dose of around 150mg test weekly last year and he says he feels great full of energy etc. wish hed done it much earlier and he just does a blast of higher doses maybe twice a year, then back to TRT dose so no PCT worry or crash. Speak to your doctor first for better advice, its not good for the younger guys or if your planning on having children as your sperm count will drop after 6 months of shutdown, but HCG HMG can be prescribed if you want to increase sperm count for fertility.
I was on TestE 600mg/Deca 300 mg/week for 15 weeks, plus 4 weeks of TBol kickstarter at 40mg/day.
Ended PCT with
Week 17: Nolva, 40mg/day, Clomid 100 mg/day
Week 18: Nolva, 30mg/day, Colmid 50mg/day
Week 19: Nolva, 20mg/day, Clomid 50mg/day
Week 20: Nolva, 20mg/day, Clomid 50mg/day
