Hi all

I got some news the other day that screwed me up a bit and I deleted all my posts, figuring I’d just be done with the scene. I appreciate the advice given to my previous questions and didn’t mean any disrespect to anyone in the deletion of my posts.

Up until the other day I was getting ready for my first test E cycle.
I got the results of my blood work and found out my natural test is low (10.4)
Doc informed me that 9.9-28ish was normal, but my being that low 1st thing in the AM in my early 30’s isn’t cool.
so now I am undergoing a more detailed test analysis to make sure the initial screening was correct.

I am pretty sure it will come back low, and HRT will commence. Doc is very willing to help me out on this.
I’m not exactly sure of what will be prescribed but now that I’ve had some time to think on it I’m more concerned how that will affect my future cycling ambitions lol.

Lifting history has been yrs20-25 on, 25-30 off, 30-now (33) on again.
I have been pretty much natural to this point, only OTC supplements, (one very uninformed horridly low dosed Deca/Winny “cycle” with no pct in college.)
And I got fixed about 2 years ago.

So how does one cycle properly while on HRT? :fback
Is PCT still an issue, or do you just cruise on low dose prescription while not on cycle?
Restoring my natural test production and sterility are obviously not issues anymore.
Just maintaining my stellar cholesterol levels and other blood values while not on cycle would be nice. J

If after all this time I just finally jumped on board to get my gear and PCT only to not be able to use it, I’ll be pissed LMAO.

Sorry for the long read.

The purpose of pct is to bring your test levels back to normal. If you're on HRT then your 'normal' is obtained through prescribed gear. Thus, in most cases one would cruise on pct/cycle/cruise on pct. Try to get injections for your hrt, andriol or gel aren't that great.

Theres a few of us on HRT and no issues cycling. I am on Test-e for the HRT and boost it up during the cycle and take a few others. After the cycle just go back to your HRT dose, no PCT need. Go with the shot.

thanks PdH, that's how i was interpreting it.
i won't know for sure what's going on for a couple of weeks, but it gives me something to read up on :)

thanks for the reply to you too Mikey!

Or you can try this instead of TRT

A bit more expensive but worth it.


I am in the same boat bro...low low test. I have an appointment with my doc in two weeks.....I should be on TRT after that.

Best of luck.
