@Anat I'm in a similar situation to you. Forgive the copy and paste from the PCT board:
"Ok, I ran a cycle for 14 weeks. The first 10 weeks was Test at 400, and weeks 1-6 were with Deca 300 a week. I used test prop in weeks 13 and 14, and then started a pct at week 16 with hcg, 1500iu every other day, clomid and tamoxifen. I only had enough HCG for six shots, and later I used some more - three shots , 2000IU, 2000IU, 2000IU (in the 4th week of PCT).
It's now been 4 weeks since the conclusion of my PCT and I've finally managed to get some bloodwork done (it's not laziness or neglect, but due to the severe legal situation of the country which I currently inhabit.) I was out of the country due to business so I could get some biological material to a lab.
I was hoping for a moderate recovery, but my numbers are underwhelming:
Free androgen index of 5.4 (Normal 24-104)
testosterone 3.8 nmol/L (Normal 7.6-31.4)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 70nmol/L (Normal 16-55)
I'd love some advice. Should I run another PCT to try and kick start again? Or should I just wait it out. Sadly I'm in a country that's got some rather strict draconian laws making talking about this shit with a doctor a severe no-go/possible jail time. I'm due to get out of the country again in a few months, so I'll be able to see some proper medical advise without the fear of reprisals. In the meantime, I'd be keen to hear your advice.
I'm a 40 year old male, 175cm, 84kg, 19%bf, and it was my first cycle and I made some awesome gains. So I'm doing my best to hold on to them! I went from 69kg at 15%bf up to 84 at 19%, and it was all made possible by diligently reading the experiences of this forum. Thanks to anyone who's able to offer advice."
So I recently ordered some more HCG from
@pharmasource but I can't really see where I screwed up with my PCT. Possibly I also didn't respond so well to the recovery phase given my age. Or possibly the lack of HCG on cycle may have hindered me. I just remember watching Rich Priana (RIP) talking about not using HCG on cycle and thought I'd go with that advice.
@Anat, what are you planning on doing? I'm not 100% of my strategy going forward. I'm thankfully still functioning sexually, even though I'm not overly in the mood I can perform if required, so I guess that's one positive. I also ordered some viagra in case that takes a turn for the worst.
