LabMax - Test Cyp - Take II

[DudeAbides]

Reposting a new set of test results now that I got a functioning UV light. This is Test Cyp from @pct-shop. I'm a rookie so I very much appreciate feedback. And any pointers you have if my testing doesn't seem up to par.

Let's go to the Labmax sheet ..

And the answer is ... Drum roll

Nice, not to steal the thread but why did you choose the vials from pct shop and not the Norma amps.

Thanks for testing and putting up results/pics!

Appreciate your contributions, DudeAbides!

Thanks for the feedback everyone - really glad the results came back positive. Even though I had to wait for the UV light, I went ahead and pinned a few times - 100MG each time. No pip at all, so I wasn't sure what to make of that - I thought it might be bunk gear. But then I started feeling a little unusual bloat today and that had me thinking differently.

Just let us know when you start looking at unattractive girls (girls you wouldn't normally think about dicking) and wanting to do dirty, dirty things to them. THAT'S when you'll know it kicked in!

This should be the new protocol for deciding if gear is legit. You must post a picture of the ugliest girl you've seen that you still thought about putting the dick to. lol

Agreed

How is it treating you?

How is it treating you?

Shit is highly effective for sure. The downside is that my current level of fitness and BF% is causing me to gain weight rather than lose weight, which was my goal. I thought I could get away with a TRT level (100 MG 2x wk), but even at that dose I'm feeling the side effects big time. Oily skin, water retention, acne, and in my case - weight gain. Unfortunately, I thought the low dose would eliminate the need for AI, but I was wrong. So after only 3 weeks, I'm left with the decision to stop until I can get my weight down, or continue and keep evaluating. Problem is that it's a big psychological downer to step on the scale and see it continue to climb. I seem to be bouncing between 7 and 10 pounds heavier than when I started. And I'm following a strict keto diet - and i'm in ketosis.

I have an AI on the way, but not sure I'll use it right away or shed some lbs first.

I did have a blood test and my testosterone was 900, so the gear is legit.

Happy to answer any other questions, but that's the lowdown after 3 weeks.

DudeAbides - are you familiar with - and stocked up for - PCT (post cycle therapy)?

You have been on short enough now that you probably wouldn't need a full PCT but the problem for you is that you have a long ester test (cyp) in your system that will stay in your system for a little while after your last pin.

You said you had bloods - just curious, what was your LH and FSH on those results? And did you get an estradiol (e2, estrogen) result with those bloods?

 

[DudeAbides]

@bickel29 - my plan was to go with a TRT dose longterm, so didn't plan for PCT. I've heard of guys being on Test Cyp for years with no interruption and no plan to stop. That's the route I was hoping to take. I think I should have had the AI on hand - lesson learned. I've also decided to skip my primary doc and go to a urologist and see if I can get rolling with a little dr. oversight - we'll see how it goes. Appt is next Wednesday. And I did confirm this doc helps with HRT.

As for bloods - it was pre-physical work-up, so it included all the normal stuff and then a Total Testosterone. I'll get the estrodial, LH, etc. on my visit next week.

I do have Aromasin on the way - hopefully be here this week. I'll be better prepared next time. Last pin was June 5.

You may be pleasantly surprised at how well things go for you once you get your e2 squared away! Dont lose hope yet, I have been in your shoes. I might hang with it for a bit longer and try with an AI.

How much are you trying to come down weight wise?

Finally got some results back today and would really appreciate your thoughts:

LH <0.2
FSH 0.3
Estrodial 6.1
Total Test = 1137
Free Test = 82
SHBG = 48.2

For what it's worth:
T4 .65

What I've been taking:
100 MG Test Cyp every 4 days
12.5 MG Aromasin ED
T3 - 28 day cycle started at 25MCG up to 75MCG - was at 75 when bloods were done
Clen - average 40 - 60 ED

Doc is recommending that I go EOD with Aromasin and one stick per week with cyp. Thinks 1100 is higher than it needs to be.

1100 would be fine for TRT levels.

How many mg's/week of cyp are you shooting? How long after the pin was the blood taken?

 

[DudeAbides]

Hey brother @Wunderpus - thanks for the guidance. I'm pinning 125MG every 4 days. The bloods were done about 28 hours after a pin.

Should I be concerned about LH, FSH, Estradiol? Or is everything looking OK? Now - important part - I wasn't planning PCT because I planned to stay on TRT. However, seeing other hormones being affected has me wondering if I'm following a good TRT protocol or if I should adjust?
