i wanted to know how long it it takes (on average) for a persons test to become suppressed. I'm assuming it take at least 2 to 3 weeks, so that means there is no need to tke clomid your first few weeks of a cycle right? I was wondering this because i have read an old post where a guy said his nuts were hurting, and someone replied that his natural test levels had not shutdown or decreased enough and it was making them hurt because of this. So i don't want to be taking clomid for the first few weeks (or how ever long) if its not needed and him cause me to have painful nuts. thnks bros. east_coast_bb     | ||

I use clomid in my cycles as an anti-estrogen not to maintain testicular function... The HPT axis will shutdown after 2-4 weeks depending on the gear... No matter if Clomid is used... You cant maintain a normal HPTA during a cycle in my opinion well atleast not after the 14 first days... The HPTA wont go back to normal if there is test floating around |
