Well here's the short of my situation. Ran a cycle of Test (500mg weekly) for 10 weeks. Came off using a standard PCT for a month. Felt like utter **** still after my PCT and decided to get my blood tested. Found low levels in the 300s. Doc said come back and we will test again to see if you rebound. Found my levels laying in the upper 100s. Doc said it must have been a fluke. Tested me again 2 weeks later and found total T of 25 and Free of 4.6
Now the long of it......
So basically I was consistently dropping week after week. I lost allot of size, especially strength. I feel lethargic. When I wake up in the mornings I feel like a train hit me and lay in bed for another hour. Overall I feel like crap. No hardons no motivation. Gym training has me feeling like I'm an AIDS patient working like a dog in a Vietnamese sweatshop.
So the doc after seeing the level of 25 was shocked. He offered TRT, but I explained my desire to father a son one day. He said how about I give you 50mg of Clomid and see what happens. I insisted on Nolvadex, saying it blocks estrogen at the pituitary much better. So he put me on 40mg of Nolvadex and wrote me a script for 60 pills with 4 refills. Took that for 2 weeks and decided to call the doc up on the phone and said "Hey! I still feel the same". And then I preceded to ask if he could prescribe me some HCG. He paused and said... why not just stay on the Nolva. And I said, I can't possibly block estrogen if my body isn't making any T for Estrogen to convert to. So he said "so, what do you want?" I asked for 10,000 IUs of Novarel for 3 weeks. He said ok "ill give a script for 6 bottles of Novarel, with 2x refills for 6 bottles each refill". He said, "you should be set for 6 months or so, I'll see you in two months for your checkup, ciao". I was like wtf, he just gave me a years worth of HRT using HCG, not to mention I now have well over a years worth of Tamoxifen. Does this guy know what he is doing??? I just needed enough to get kickstarted again and he just hands me enough for HRT. Good thing I know what I'm doing otherwise my dumb butt would be stuck with only 50mg of clomid ED
I feel like I am treating myself at this point.
Some doctors administer 3000ius 2x weekly or 2000ius 3x weekly.
I know the standard protocol for PCT is 500Ius ED for 3 weeks.
So I've decided to go 500IUs ED in the mornings to mimic my natural curve.
Is this the best way to go? At this dose I'd be at 3500IU week, not the 6000IUs seen on other protocols. And I'd have LOTS of HCG for almost a year left.
1.) How should my HCG be dosed during the week to shock my nuts back to size?
2.) Should I cut my Nolvadex dose down from 40mg to 20mg ED?
3.) How quickly should the HCG start making my Test go up? I've been doing 500IU ED for the last 3 days and feel almost no changes in volume and well being.
4.) lastly and least importantly, I do IM shots of HCG. I've heard the HCG peaks in your blood twice as fast compared to SQ. Like 7hours vs 14hours.
Is IM > SQ or no difference. Or would SQ mimic my natural curve better?
I need some guidance. I just want my nuts making 700+ Total T and to be healthy like I was before. No way should one isolated cycle have affected me this badly especially after a solid PCT.
Sorry for the lengthy dialogue.
