    Default PCT Didn't Work......next step?

    My backstory....got a TRT script of Test Cyp from my GP back in March of '11. Ran it until the vial ran out @ 100mg 2x weekly. After that, w/ no PCT at all, got some UG gear dosed at 250mg/ml. Originally intended to run it once weekly, but ended up going once every 6th day, then to once every 5th day. Patience has never been my strong suit, and I think was just they "hey asshole, what are you doing" moment I needed.

    Anyway, finished the vial mid-September, and even though I had HCG on hand, I never used it during cycle. Once cycle was over, I waited 3 wks for the esthers to clear and began Torem. That didn't seem to take (not bloodwork supported, my the boys didn't seem to boucne back to regular size). So I then ran a 4-wk clomid cycle that seemed to take (ie. my balls bounced back instantly), but a few weeks after I stopped, they retreated again.

    The Clomid cycle started around Mid-November, thus ending in Mid-December, and the re-shrinkage has been occuring for the last 3-4 weeks.

    What would be a good next step? Looking at some of the cylces proposed here, perhaps I didn't run enough Clomid? My guess is bloodwork would be the best place to start.

    Has anyone had any experience like this? My erecticle function is largely intact, but my libido/interest is 5/10 at best these days.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    loads of hcg, some clomid and an ai would be a good investment. the fact that you where responding to clomid alone is a good sign but not a guarantee.

    you where on hrt. did you already have low test? if so then id say your trt bound perma.

    Next step is to get bloodwork so you have. Better idea of whete you stand. DO NOT take HCG now as it will only further suppress you

    Like everyone else said, get bloodwork. But I don't get it, why are you using underground bullshit of you have a script, and why are you coming off anyway if your on TRT?

    If you have a script why are you even bothering with UG?

    The TRT script was given to me once as my doctor assumed my test was low. He got the labs back, called me and said I didnt need it. I asked him to fax me the bloodwork, and my total test, and especially my free test, were way low. I think I posted the numbers here on another forum, I'll see if I can dig them up.

    Once that script ran out, I took a little time off, then found some UG gear.

    Since it seems like the consensus is that my first step should be bloodwork, what all should I get tested?

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Getting bw done Tuesday, but have a question.

    Can an AI and Clomid be run together from the beginning of a second PCT? I saw in HeavyIrons PCT thread that he does, but I wasn't sure if it would be any different since it's been so long since the actual cycle.

    Post your bw results and the people here will tell you if its needed or not. Why aren't you including HCG? If you did, you would need an AI.

    In my opinion, you should have ran an assisting serm or AI with the clomid. Clomid or clomiphene citrate is a selective serm main purpose to hormone stimulation but will be forced to act as the anti estrogen and compete for receptors taking away from the primary action. Using a secondary compound like Tamoxifen cirate that main purpose is to binding or competing for the receptor will assist the Clomiphene allowing to function the main purpose.

    I have seen running an AI was more beneficial along the clomiphene because it has less inhibition on the SHBG.

    But that's just my opinion.
