+ 7 Complete Shutdown
Posting this for some of the younger guys who don't always think of the consequences when running anabolics. Especially running them without ancillaries like hcg or not doing a proper post cycle therapy.
I have run cycles on and off since i was about 18 years old, never used post cycle therapy. when i was in my late 20's i was diagnosed with low testosterone. Since i already had children i never really bothered to worry too much about being shut down and i started testosterone replacement therapy. I would also go on blast from time to time. I am 39 years old now and my wife and i decided we want to try for another baby. We have been trying for a while with no success so we went to see a fertility doctor.
After testing was done, it was discovered i have a ZERO sperm count. So to try and make this work i had to stop taking testosterone replacement completely a few weeks ago . They also put me on HCG and HMG to try and get things working again, which their is no guarantee that it will come back although its possible . I just had a blood test done and my testosterone level came back at 6 !! Needless to say i feel absolutely horrible right now. Cant even get up the strength or motivation to work out. So moral of the story, if your a young guy and plan on wanting to have children in the future , make sure you do things the right way because these compounds will absolutely shut you down completely if your not careful about what you do, and their is no guarantee once you shut down that you will ever get it back. Cycle smart.

Thanks for the supportive comments . I will report back in time and let you know if the treatment worked for me or not. I might not be able to do it the way the doctors want me to with not taking any test . I might have to put myself on a low dose and hope it will still work because I have a test level of 6 about 2 weeks ago and now I feel much worse so I must have no test at all. I feel worse then you could ever imagine , I can't think straight and feel just terrible. I'm gonna see how long I can stick it out but I am losing my mind not being able work out and putting weight on also. Thanks again guys and I hope this post might make a younger guy think twice , I made this mistake by not using pct all my life which started my low test issue. Back when I started no one ever told me about pct and there was no eroids . Hope a younger guy out there will learn from my mistake that's why I posted my story . You don't want to end up married and not be able to give the person you love a baby. Thankfully I started early and have a few kids already
absolutely brilliant post i hope it hits home to some of the youngsters on here your endocrine system can be messed up for good if you abuse it. i kind of said the same thing but not in your situation unfortunately. i feel for you and hope eventually with fertility treatment you end up with another bambi. we all make mistakes and some can be permanent unfortunately lets hope your isnt.
RustyhookerHope the young folks read and understand. Your story is too true bro. Another bro on here similar to your story just had his first baby. The cocktail worked but it was a long trial n error. Good luck to you and your family
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I think permanent shutdown is the least of the problems some of the young guns have to worry about. When I read about the compounds some of these guys are running, the lenght, often accompanied by irresposnsible diets and party drugs. A lot of them don't even have a proper muscle base to start cycyling, no idea about proper nutrition. Many of them feel invincible and then fast forward few years and we see posts like: "Please help, I'm fucked". Organs messed up, psychological issues. When these "Athletes" reach 40's they have bodies of 60-70 year olds. I can understand pros running advance cycles with the harsh compounds but most of these guys do it just to show off on the beach and they don't undersatnd that it could be done in a safe way, with very similar effects with half of what they take. I feel sorry for them, but to be completely honest, I'm catching myself more often thinking that this is just mother nature using natural selection as a way to make sure that only the fittest will survive and pass on their genetic material. In this day and age, with all the info readily available online and forums like this site where you have experienced guys willing to help anyone in responsible way, it is just plain stupid to run these crazy cycles. This is not directed at op, as we did not have all this help 20 years ago, no internet. We all went by bro science, which was often dictated by the scummbag selling shit at the gym and pushing stuff on uneducated guys.
I hope you will recover with the doctor's help and everything will workout for you fine. Good post.
Brilliant post right here.
bigmurphThat sucks bro I send well wishes to you and your wife.I hope that the hcg and hmg help you get a decent sperm count back so you can have that bundle of joy you and your wife want.
I love this post so that the younger guys on the site can see the results of running gear young and for long periods it is just one example of why you shouldn't run at a young age and that even at a older age tbere are still many issues that will eventually catch up with you.why it is so important to do strong pct and why to take long breaks in between cycles
My prayers are with you and your family brother .I wish only the best for you and I hope it works out. The eroids family is here for you.
Great post brother. Hopefully others will heed your advice. Best of luck my man.
I'm sorry to hear that brother and I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for sharing that message. Hopefully it resonates with some of the guys here.
