 Can I shut down my natural T production???

I am fully aware a heavy test cycle is going to put the ole nuts on hold for a while but I am in a somewhat different situation than the average bro. I am hypogonadic naturaly, not from coming off a cycle or anything. My natural T levels were 163. Very low. So I am now on test replacement with androgel. Most likely going to have to be on test replacement the rest of my life. Being that I never really produced any significant testosterone is it possible for me to "shut down my test production". I wonder because this may effect many factors in my AS use. Do I have any need for clomid??? Basicaly how does this change the way I go about my cycles. Am I able to stay on longer because there is no risk of suppressing my natural test??? Don't get me wrong here. I'm not asking permision for stupidity. I am just wondering what differences and/or exeptions are there for me??? If anyone has any good knowledge about this I would greatly appreciate it.     | ||

I would think since you have a low Tlevel then you would definetely not want to shut it down further. I would error on the side of caution and use the clomid liberally with your cycles. Dont go overboard with the dosages of gear either, maybe stack anabolics instead of androgenics and see how that goes. ------------------ | ||

first of all, if you have naturally low test levels your doc will prescribe hormone replacement. trust me,ask him. second..steroids are no worse for you than anyone else with higher natural test levels. follow the same basic principles for preserving hpta ------------------ | ||

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A FLAME, BUT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT IT SHUTTING DOWN PERMANENTLY? I MEAN WHEATHER IT SHUTS DOWN PERMANENTLY OR NOT, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BE ON TEST REPLACEMENT FOR LIFE RIGHT? I SUGGEST YOU ASK YOUR ENDOCRINOLOGIST ABOUT IT. GOOD LUCK BRO. |
