Thread: Bloods after 2 years off

To put this into context a bit, I am a male in my upper 20's. I have 3 pretty basic cycles under my belt, nothing crazy. After each cycle I gave myself at least the length of the cycle + pct time off for recovery. All 3 cycles I ran hcg @ 250iu 2x per week for the duration up until pct. I did not run hcg during pct. PCT was always nolva + clomid for 4-6 weeks. I never knew my baseline before I started my AAS journey. However, I have not used any AAS for roughly 2 years. So, I figured this was as baseline as I'm going to get at this point and got some bloodwork done.

I never really felt like I had high testosterone for numerous reasons, and the test showed I was correct about that. I sit in the low-mid range. Nothing about the test really surprised or disappointed me other than my FSH. It's on the dead low of what is considered normal. It's a little concerning because FSH relates directly to sperm count. Being only in my upper 20's and with no kids yet, this bothers me a little. I am about to start self administered TRT and am worried my chances years from now of having children won't be good.

As with all things in life, I'm weighing the pros/cons risks/rewards and still feel like I should start TRT.

I wouldn’t. Your bloodwork is fine. Pinning for life wasn’t part of my plan. That being said, it is sometimes not a choice. If u do want to, that is your decision. Have a knowledgeable urologist.

I have never had free test checked before. I'm not just planning to do trt, I want to blast and cruise, doing long cruises at 150-200 mg test per week. Pinning for life doesn't particularly bother me, though I would most likely switch to test undecanoate for less frequent injections.

My levels aren't bad, but I would like them to be higher. I don't have the energy I used too, sleep a lot, erections aren't as full, stamina is poor, plateaued at the gym in almost all my lifts. Mainly, just don't have the sense of well being that I have with higher testosterone levels.

Time to supplement your program. Maybe some cypionate.

i know 3 people personally that have conceived a child while blasting, steroids aren't a death sentence for your nuts bro. anyways if you cant have a kid there a tons of options fertility protocols, adoption, pets, traveling, more hobbies etc. don't beat yourself up just go balls deep and explode then let it marinate.

I think you’re way over thinking this, if I were you and I’ve been off I wouldn’t want to commit to a lifetime of pinning. Plus you’re not complaining of any issues of low testosterone. You just don’t like you’re number.
