I'd love to get your thoughts on this –
I'm nearly 50 years old – and very experienced weightlifter and keep in great shape (generally)
My Natty testosterone levels have been fluctuating over the past five years –as low as 425 Ng/dl to as high as 660 Ng/dl (as of Dec 2015). (Range is 300 -1200)
I ran a cycle of SARMs last spring which crashed my test levels down to under 100 and even after a month of PCT running Nolvadex and waiting another month before bloods - I did not recover: (Test levels were 170.)
My Doctor friend put me on HCG (500 IU Eod) for a month with Arimidex. Just got bloods back and Total T was 962! I feel great - and The increase in testosterone also drastically improved my lipid profile – which had also crashed significantly from that cycle.
I was asking him about coming off – running another SERM such as Clomid and Nolvadex to see if I recover.
He flat out told me I was ****ing crazy – and asked why would I ever want to go back to having fluctuating T levels. In fact, he now wants me to start taking some Androgel – which would jack up the test even more – but he said we can start ratcheting back on the hCG to find an optimal dose of both products that would keep my natural test levels somewhere around the 1000 range
His rationale – was that I was experiencing low T symptoms – even when my testosterone level was in the 600s – all of which now seem to have disappeared – and also – due to my age – they are only going to decline further. I guess I'm pretty fortunate to have a doctor who is up on the stuff – he's actually a progressive cardiologist – and uses testosterone to treat patient to improve overall health, lipid profile – well being etc.
Am I jumping the gun? In any case – I don't know if I can go back now that I've seen the other side. I have to say – life at 900+ testosterone level is pretty freaking good
