Shutdown after PCT

I made the mistake of doing an anavar only cycle around 3 months back at 50mg e/d. My initial PCT was 2 weeks of nolvadex at 20mg ED and even after the PCT I was fairly suppressed, low libido and ranged from not being able to get an erection to significant difficulty maintaining one. I then got some bloodwork done but only total test which came out to 400. From there I decided to do four weeks of clomid at 50mg ED. Two weeks into this I got more bloodwork and my test was significantly higher, 882 but my libido and ED issues have not subsided. Two weeks later I got some more extensive blood work and these were the results

DHEA - Sulfate 594.4 (160-449)
Estradiol - 28.2 (7.6-42.6)
PSA - 0.7 (0-4)
Test total - 532 (348-1197)
Test free - 12.2 (9.3-26.5)
TSH - 2.42 (.45-4.5)
T4 - 7.8 (4.5-12)
T3F - 3 (2-4.4)
T4, Free - 1.58 (.82-1.77)

Test levels may have been lower on this last test because I had it done at 2:30 and after working out.

If anyone has anything that may help or suggestions/advice please let me know. As of now I am having a lot of difficulty maintaining an erection and libido feels low.

Thanks
 
I am 25... yes I realize now they can be libido killers and have been off clomid for 1.5-2 wks. Would appreciate any further insight. Thanks
 
Unfortunately their is not a lot you can do other than just wait until your test levels rise back within their normal range. What were your free test levels before your cycle? You will be fine in time and just remember as young as you are, to just cycle on and off in the future to prevent this. Your body will recover on its own in time and you will be fine.
 
Not everyone reacts the same way to PCT.

Here is mine for a standard cycle

Tamoxifen Week 1-4 20mg/ED
plus
Clomid Week 1 50mg/ED week 2-4 25mg/ED

If you have been on a long time or are shut down, you may need to stay on the PCT longer.

Clomid makes my balls swell quickly, but I feel crap while on it.

I also run low dose Naltrexone while on cycle and that keeps my balls pretty near their full size.

HCG on cycle is almost as good, but I prefer Low dose Naltrexone, the trick is to keep your system as near normal as possible while on cycle.

Anyway if you are shut down, you need to repeat your PCT, your idea of a PCT would do very little for me, something a bit more like mine would be better.
 
Worst PCT ever. WHy use an anti estrogen for a steroid that doesn't aromatize? This is typical 1990 (mis) information. ANd do not listen to Shruggys' advice. It is wrong.
