As some of you know by reviewing my log (http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/pct-anti-estrogens/proviron-in-p...), I began running Proviron at 25mg/day during week 3 of my pct then continued it as a bridge for 7 weeks so far. I'm now 10 weeks out past my last injection. (You can also view the cycle I ran at: http://www.eroids.com/cycle_logs/8th-cycle-4th-in-the-past-3-years-sust-...)

I never ran Proviron before and was concerned whether it would shut me down; some people said it would, others said it wouldn't so I put it to the test. While my bridge was good and I felt better than I had 10 weeks after ending a cycle (see log), unfortunately, my labs didn't turn out the way I had hoped. As you will see, my LH & FSH levels are about as low as can be, .01 & .02 respectively. Test level is only 204. The one positive was my free test, which is at the higher end of normal, 22.5. This is also higher than where I'm normally at off cycle.

While I can't say with absolute certainty that it was the Proviron that shut me down or if it's because I have yet to recover, my levels have never been this low 10 weeks out. During my last few PCTs over the last 3 or 4 years, my test level typically recovers to between 400-500 and my LH & FSH levels generally recover to around the midpoint of normal.

With that said, I have a few questions for the vets:

1. What's my next step? Attempt a kickstart with a HCG protocol? If so, what do you recommend?
2. Simply give my body more time and hope I recover (which I am not at all opposed to)
3. I'm almost 39 - do I consider TRT? While I realize this will be inevitable for me at some point, I prefer to avoid it for as long as I can
4. Something else not listed above

I never go back on until my levels have recovered, so I'll be on the sidelines for a while longer. I'm really disappointed with these results so any feedback you all can provide is appreciated very much.

Thanks!
