+ 2 Am I overreacting?
Hello my fellow eroiders,
It's been about four months since my first cycle of test e 500mg EW. Gained about 20 lbs and kept a solid 10. Pct was smooth as can be, I felt completely normal, no loss in libido or anything. I've been acquiring goods for my next run and just got my bloods ran. Herein lies my issue:
Baseline
Test serum: 806
Lh: 4.1
Fsh: 2.9
estradiol: 20.3
post PCT:
Test serum: 604
Lh: 5.1
Fsh: 2.8
Estradiol: 18.9
As you can see my test serum dropped and it is concerning. My question is how concerned should I be? Anything I've found on this subject deals with people who have dropped into low T, which I believe my levels are still well above. A drop from 800 to 600 sounds pretty drastic though and I wouldn't want to start another cycle in such a circumstance.
I ran nolva 20/20/20/20 and clomid 50/50/50/50. The nolva was pharma but the clomid was research chem. I also used hcg on cycle at 500 iu EW. I still have some unconstituted hcg to spare as well as clomid on hand. I was thinking of running another pct for 4 weeks aside some tongkat Ali.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your help.

Did you have the 2 tests done at the same time a day? preferably early morning.
Yes, both were taken around 8am.
Well your other numbers look pretty good. There are just so many other variables that it may have nothing to do with your previous cycle and you were just lower then the previous test for some other reason. I am not even going to begin to guess because I am not an endo. Only thing I could say is if you are really concerned wait another month and then retest again. Then use that new info with what you have to make your own decision.
Thanks brother, I'm going to wait another two months and retest.
If you do cycle again I suggest a stronger PCT. Typical pct is clomid 100/100/50/50 and nolva 40/40/20/20. And stay away from research chems. I have never used them but just hear bad thing after bad thing about them. Best of luck with your retest Bro and +1 for taking an nice cautious approach.
Yeah after my first time I made sure to get all pharma pct this go around. I might give the tongkat Ali a try in the meantime, I've heard good things about it. I really hope my levels go back up some otherwise I have hundreds of dollars worth of gear that I wont know what to do with . Thanks again for your help man.
AnonI wouldnt run another pct, those numbers still look pretty good. You finished pct 4 months ago?
Finished PCT 3 months ago. I figure that is a pretty short time I can give it another couple months and get another test done. My major concern was a continuous drop in my baseline with each cycle.
That's the risk u play with these things man.. all u can do is give more time..
I understood the risk before ever running gear. Just trying to see if anyone else experienced the same and if there is anything I should be doing that I'm not. Thanks for the reply.
Same thing has happened to me man and now I'm trt so just word to the wise give it time (before running anymore cycles)
Damn, waiting is the plan then. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
