A more accurate definition of completely shut down would be LH = 0.0 (as it is with HRT patients).
With that said, your hormone panel will generally look like dog$hit the day after you finish a cycle.
You ran 5mg of clomid or 50mg of clomid for 30 days?
It wasn't 5mg of clomid lol, I ran 5mg of MDrol for 30-days. It was a practical experiment. I hear a lot of people talk about "shut down" and test levels without ever backing their sht up with blood work.
I was also trying to prove a point that such a low dosage of said compound will indeed pretty much stop your natural production of test; the #s don't lie, right?
I'm running on very little sleep, and don't have the time to dig it up, but I ran a normal protocol on my PCT, so it's in the log.
I went and had a testosterone test on Feb 18th (24 days in) and my test came back "NT No suitable speciman detected" under "Testosterone, Free," "Testosterone, % Free," "Total Testosterone."
I went back and had another blood sample taken on Feb 20th, same sht. Now I have a science degree background (double E) and I've got to imagine that the possibility of a bad blood test for the same person in a 3-day range just being wrong is HIGHLY unlikely. My sht was in the tank dude.
Spoke with 2-endos in a 3-week period (I wasn't worried, just trying to dig as much as possible into the data) and they actually were intrigued and seemed kind of concerned.
I didn't tell them anything about what I was taking till the 3rd test, then it was like "Oh, well that makes sense..."
I went back on Feb 27th since I stopped everything, and my results showed.
Here were the results on the 3rd test. (Normal (low - high) Range)
Test Total 78 ng/dl (250 - 1100) <----Extremely LOW
Test Free 26.2 pg/ml (46.0 - 224.0) <----Extremely LOW production
Test Bioavailable 54.0 ng/dl (range is 110. - 575.0) <---Extremely LOW
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 5 nmol/L (8 - 48)
Thoughts?
Quite a tangent, any input on low dosage usage for Turinabol and women????????????????
