I'm a week and a half away from the end of my current cycle (12 weeks: 500mg Test Cyp/week, 400-500mg Deca/week, 75mg Anavar/day, 1mg Arimidex/week), and I'm planning a one-month break before starting my next cycle (12 weeks: 500mg Test Cyp/week, 400-500mg Masteron/week, 75mg Anavar/day, 1mg Arimidex/week). My doctor wants me to do absolutely nothing between cycles, as per this e-mail from him (this is after I suggested HCG and Clomid during the break):
"There was some negative talk at the convention about using HCG because there was discussion about suppression of the pituitary production of LH production which goes to the testes to increase testosterone. and then coupled with Clomid which also pushes HCG and FSH artificially we potentially could slow the pituitary function down. Of course, both of those medications are going to elevate testosterone and sperm respectively IF the testis respond normally to LH and FSH. What would be interesting to me to to take a complete break from hormones and its precursors and in 30-45 days measure LH and FSH to see if their production is normal. Also at the end of the 30-45 days we could measure free and total testosterone and see if they collapse after stopping the testosterone. If they collapse we will have to give testosterone to compensate for low testicular function. If LH is normal or high we would not have to give it or HCG because the testis can't respond to it if the testosterone levels fall after stopping the testosterone. It would mean we have testicular failure which in most cases would show up as very high LH and FSH in their effort to get the testicles to make sperm and testosterone."
During the cycle that I'm on right now, I've only managed to gain maybe ten pounds of muscle (maybe closer to five pounds), and, needless to say, I'm worried about losing my gains if I follow the protocol that my doctor is suggesting (again, basically doing nothing)... Thoughts?
