Did I recover? Next cycle... Bloodwork

First cycle age 22. 1andro/4 andro Total test before was 710... test levels after were 650
2nd cycle age 23 500mg test 12 weeks. test on cycle 2305...test levels 8 weeks post pct at 505.
This is kinda scary. I have dropped 205 points. Im planning to start my next cycle in 6 weeks test/masteron/var but want to know if my body is ready for it.

Before cycle FSH 1.8
Before cycle LH 5.4
Before cycle free test 163

Current FSH 2.0 (1.5-12.4)
Current LH 6.9 (1.7-8.6)
Current Free test 103 (35-155)
 
One of the reasons why some people suggest waiting to cycle until at least the age of 24. Not saying you are the case in specific but it is suggested that the endocrine system is not fully matured until that age. Some less, some more.

Also it would be hard to tell without LH and FSH levels to compare.

Just a heads up you need to look at the whole picture in regards to levels.
 
I can't give you much advice, but I'm in to see what other people think. Also, is that 650 from 8weeks post pct? How long was your first cycle? It seems a bit odd to me that you recovered worse from an andro run when you where younger than running actual test.
 
As noted above, LH and FSH are also crucial indicators.

Something to consider with blood hormone readings, they fluctuate over time. Its quite possible your 710 was a peak reading, and the subsequent lower readings were merely, well, lower readings not necessarily indicative of a general decreasing trend. An analogy might be the salary earner who always has 710$ in their account on pay day, but all other days their balance will vary. But 710 remains their general peak over time.

This is why endos will tend to request 3 blood pulls over successive weeks, all draws at the same approx early morning time whilst trying to minimise other confounds (supplements and meds, largely).

710 all natural
8 weeks prohormones. levels checked 8 weeks post pct at 650
12 weeks test cycle, 8 weeks post pct levels are 505
 
Numbers on bloodwork will always fluctuate depending on diet, timing, lifestyle choices etc so maybe our latest bloodwork was lower due to one of those reasons. Maybe try to get bloodwork again in a month and see where you’re at and to make sure your body has returned to normal before hopping on again. Your body also might still be trying to return to normal since the testosterone cycle was more suppressive and longer.

To me, it looks like you have recovered and like stated previously it might be your fluctuated test numbers. Something as simple as the difference in time that you pulled bloods can result in different numbers. Also, diet, sleep, stress, etc. I am assuming your estro numbers are within range since you made no mention of them.

Personally I think your bloodwork is decent. Draw bloods again to see if your numbers are holding steady or are on the rise before your next run. Happy cycling and good luck.
