Is my testosterone permanently suppressed?

[Hurricane55]

Not trying to sound like a smart ass at all but wouldn't your doctor know? He might have had a patient in the past with a similar situation.

Will my testosterone and cholesteral levels continue to improve. Or, after 15 clean months, am I basically screwed?

They will come back, I have been where you are and everything eventually came back.,


Like mentioned above, do 25 days of Clomid, for another kick start.

It should put you at ease to know there are no medically documented cases of people becoming sterile because of steroid use if there was not a problem before their use...

How would anyone know if you're on HRT in your powerlifting competitions unless you tell them? Urine tests alone could not distinguish HRT because the parent hormone with the ester isn't secreted, only it's metabolites... Exogenous testosterone is chemically identical to endogenous testosterone. The only way I believe one could be tested whether one's testosterone is endo or exo is by a blood test which attempts to isolate a estered compound. Anything that is estered is exogenous, without question. Ratios are the only thing that is screened that I am aware of.

How bad was your HDL/LDL ratio?

My total cholesterol is in the 130's.............my HDL is 22.

um. i was in my early 30's and was suffering the worst depression i ever had to deal with. no energy, no drive. once i started up again, my life changed. for the better. so i pretty much think i was completely shut down, because those problems stuck with me for years before i changed it.

Some Fish Oil 3 times/day may help bring the HDH up.

You need to do some niacin also. I would start with 500mgs of non flush then get blood work and bump up to 1000mgs if neccessary.

More than likely a pcp would consult with an endo chronologist to determine what to do.

if your strength is still crashing you can always use some IGF and hGH without suppressing your natty test production. other than that stick with the usuall HCG clomid till your back to neutral

I'm 27 years old.

I did a total of 5 or 6 cycles over a period of two years. I stuck to test, tren, deca, and dbol and never exceeded 1200 total milligrams per week. I followed what I thought to be proper juicing protocol and I always included proper PCT.

This post worries me. Is low HDL common even after only 5-6 cycles?...How long were your cycles?

All cycles were between 10-14 weeks long.

Anyway, I'm 15 months clean now and during that time my strength has declined dramatically. I'm a competitive powerlifter and I am now totalling less than I did prior to my two years of juicing.

Being concerned, I went and had blood work done. It wasn't good. Besides having low HDL levels, my total testosterone was 317 on the first test and only 197 when they re-tested. I'm going to be seing a specialist in the near future, but I'm quite concerned. I don't want to go on permanent HRT. I'd like to have more children and return to drug-tested Powerlifting meets (can't do it on HRT).

Thanks.

I would check out all the dermacream threads they say they can bring back natty test....
