Depression during pct

Damn bro, I just started week 4 yesterday. I was thinking about running it 5 weeks too. Will probably get bloods done near the middle-end of the month. The I'll know for sure what's up.
 
I was about to start an 8 week cycle of Test E 500mg/Wk, do you guys think 2 weeks of pct is enough? 100mg ED clomid for first week, and 50mg ED for the second?

I suck at advice, and there's no magic answer or magic pill.

I would research, learn the drugs, THEN learn your body.

If it was me.... 500wk (250x2) for 12 weeks
4 week PCT
Clomid 300 mg day one followed by 50 mg a day.

Arimidex on deck

Pre bloods, mid cycle bloods, recovery bloods

I just used this as a great example, use it to research cycles & Pct that are shorter/longer/more/less and make an educated guess.

Cuz when shit goes good "you did it"

When shit goes bad "you did it"

Good luck
 
Great advice man, thanks. Just a couple more questions, how long after the last pin should i start PCT and where/how do i get bloods done without it being sketchy?

So getting blood work before ending pct? Or just running 5
 
Update: Just concluded week 4 of pct on wednesday, but gonna extend it another week. Balls are pretty much back it seems and hanging nice and low again. Been sick this week, and I feel like I lost some gains bc I couldn't hit my cals. I'm too scared to weigh myself.

All in all, this pct has been a whirlwind of emotion, kind of invigorating tbh. It really did suck at times though, and I know I'm probably still not fully recovered. Will get bloods at month's end.

How that extra week playing out? Guessing you went for five weeker?

How yeah feel?, u cut doses?
 
I get this on cycle and during pct. One minute I'll be calm and then the next, I'm searching for romantic movies and wishing I had a gf. Estrogen is under control too.
 
You bring up an excellent question, I feel with clomids long half life and time to build blood levels up to an ongoing 50 mg level a 300mg dose (should have stated spread out threw the day) to be beneficial..... I would suspect that if a person was to take 100mg for first week it would have blood levels over desired point and could experience vision problems.
If they got vision problems off the first and only dose of 100mg - I'd say they fall into the small group that can't tolerate Clomid anyways... Not 100mg not 10mg....

Steroid use by itself carries great potentials for side effects, once we have made it to pct the damage to the Hpta has already occurred and now we are trying to reverse/restart.... Yes Clomid is a powerful drug and use should be considered long before having to start pct:)

I dropped the clomid completely after about 4.5 weeks, and cut the nolva down to 10mg/day for the last week. I feel normal again (I think lol). Just like @savage lifter said above, I went through a period where I wished I had a gf bc I felt empty :oops:. But I went on a date this weekend, and now I don't think I want a gf anymore lol, I realized I kinda just want to do me and focus on work for now.

Btw, who's excited for the olympia this weekend??! My brother and I are gonna grill up some steaks and eat a shitload of sushi while we watch it.

End of rant ;)

Glad your feeling better brother....
 
Had bloodwork done today. I know it might've been early, but I had the strongest compulsion to get it done. I have no qualms about getting more done in a couple weeks if need be.

Also weighed myself for the first time in like 3 weeks lol. I was so scared of seeing how much weight I've lost that I just didn't check (I was sick a couple weeks ago and didn't eat much for a couple days). Turns out I've only lost about 5 lbs since I stopped pinning 6 weeks ago. Body comp looks about the same, so I don't think I put on too much extra fat (at least I hope not o_O).
 
Lab results are in from yesterday. Kinda worried that my test will drop really low in the coming weeks since my LH is currently still elevated from the pct meds. I've read of guys testing too soon, then have their levels drop by 300+ ng/dl after the clomid/nolva wear off. Baseline for me is 450 ng/dl, so hopefully my test doesn't drop more than 200. Will go back in 3 weeks to get retested.

Also, blood was drawn at 3pm.
