18 Weeks post first cycle - no PCT - testosterone higher than before?

[User2022]

Hi guys,

28 year old M here.

Did a 13 week cycle of Test E - 400/week

Added aromasin half way through to reduce E2.

Previous to the cycle, my Testosterone serum was 640 ng/dl. Free test was 17.63 pg/mL.

I waited 5 weeks to decide if I needed to PCT - was meant to do bloods but ended up going abroad for summer and had no sides, so I decided against it.

Did my bloods at long last (18 weeks later) and to my surprise my Testosterone serum is now 1007 H ng/dL.

I'm waiting on my free test results still as they haven't arrived, but does this seem a bit sus?

I'm after increasing my testosterone levels massively without a PCT after coming off a cycle where my balls were the size of raisins, and had a tiny load at the end?

PCT is not used to restore your testosterone but only to avoid to lose immediately all the results achieved during the cycle.

Your testosterone is naturally restored by your body after weeks or months.

In your case, 18 weeks have been enough to restart your system.
The only strange/weird thing is that your testo is really high considering your starting testo value before the cycle, you are lucky somehow.

Your first test may have been an afternoon test and this latest one was early morning? Either that or this later test is an error. That's really high for a natty level.

Yeah this is completely wrong. PCT is to restart your natural testosterone production faster (if your body is capable of recovering at all based on your usage history) instead of suffering thru months of low T while function recovers.

It has next to nothing to do with keeping results and everything to do with not hating life for months while still shut down.

PCT is a protocol that can help speed up the transition to normal testosterone levels while lowering the side effects. If you body is not able to produce testosterone by itself anymore, then it won't be neither after the PCT.

Natural testosterone won't restart after PCT if your body is not able to do it anymore.
