Singing the Post Cycle Blues

[tusoa]

Just finished a great 12 week cycle (500mg Test/week). 2 and 1/2 weeks off and I'm singing the blues... A week on Nolvadex already, but no energy, no libido, and tiny balls... what every guy dreams of.

BUT, I'm down 10 pounds of fat and up 12 pounds of muscle. Looking good!

Just wish I had the motivation to keep with the gym and the desire to ravage my girlfriend as before. Nothing we haven't all been through before, I just felt like venting.

Cheers to a well done cycle!!!

I've never had that feeling.

 

[tusoa]

Your motivation to hit the gym and energy level, or libido has never suffered when you came off cycle?

 

[Sk8man101]

Yup. Shit sucks!
Good luck with your recover brother.

I think a lot of it is mental too. Like you get so used to feeling like a fucking badass and then you go back to being a regular person and life is full of shit.

Yeah. Not something I've ever really experienced either. I always feel great coming off, continue to hit gym PR's,... I'm always a machine in the bedroom so never lagging there... Just never really felt that crash... Lucky I guess.

Next week will be my last week of my first cycle (500 mg of test only). Hopefully PCT is a smooth ride. I loved the results.

You're not alone bro. I get the exact same feeling once I come off cycle. HCG helps me transition off Test, I'd think about using a bit next time to help.

I get the same lower energy, lower gym motivation. Sex drive lowers from off the chart. And some blues, which might be because of having low energy and missing the 'on cycle feeling'.

My Test dosages are higher than the 500mg you ran, these days. So that doesn't help me. I find myself planning my next cycle over and over while I'm off. And I get very tempted to jump back on Test too soon, and have done it before. My advice is complete your PCT and time off, keep those gains, and preserve your body for the long term.

It's a mental game bro, this is when dude's start getting emo and do crazy shit. Just let time do it's thing and remember it's just a temporary thing. Take it easy and best of luck.

So it's so it's been exactly five weeks since my last pin. I just got my bloodwork back that was taken 3 weeks after my last pin. My total T was 213 and my free T was 25. That test was one week after I started nolvadex. so it's been 2 weeks since those numbers and I'm feeling a little better. I'm hoping the T is creeping up.

Actually, it's funny because the doctor didn't ask why I wanted the blood test, I just told him I wanted a full blood work including my T levels. When he gave me the results he said you have hypogonadism and I would recommend prescribing you test cyp. how amazing would it be to actually have Pharma grade gear I could pick up at the Walgreens without having to worry about bunk or deliveries from overseas!!!!!

Pct sucks! That's me day 20 into my third pct. I feel awful during pct, low motivation, low energy, low sex drive, and just overall crap. This pct has been horrendous though, I have had quite a few big changes hapoen during the last 20'days so it's not easy to tell what is causing me to feel what.

 

[tusoa]

Yeah this PCT cycle has been pretty rough for me too. My total test was at about 450 before starting my 12-week cycle of 500 mg of test cyp a week. Three weeks after my last shot, my total testosterone came back at 213, which is understandable.. It is now been almost 7 weeks since my last shot total testosterone is still down at 220. I've had four weeks of nolvadex and kept up working at the gym and eating well. I really don't know why I'm not rebounding, it's beginning to worry me.

Nolvadex is not an effective PCT. If you are going to stick with one substance, that substance should be Clomid.
