PCT log after 18 month BnC

Hey guys. Figured I’d start a pct log in the case that anyone wants to follow along. I’m currently in week 2 of pct after an 18 month blast and cruise. I wanted to keep a log for my own reasons but figured that the question of recovery comes up quite often so why not share my ride.

Stats and gear use:
33 years old, 5’6” 187lbs. First ever cycle was at 30 which consisted of 500mg typical test E blast for 16 weeks. Precycle bloods had T levels at 341. After a great first blast and PCT, my T levels came back at 412 three months after PCT and LH and FSH we’re back to normal. Decided I wanted to BnC for a bit to get me through a few bachelor parties, my own wedding, and some other things. The 18 months consisted of only two blasts, each of 600mgs for 12-15 weeks along with two 4 week cycles of 50mgs Anavar. Cruises were always 150mgs and bloodwork every 5 weeks to check. Blasts had me at ~3500ng and cruises from 900-1000ng. HCG was run throughout at dosages of 250-500iu/wk.

Now, the time has come to try for a baby and just generally stop pinning, at least illegally. If I get back on it will be TRT which I don’t think I’ll have an issue getting. Took my last injection on 10/24 and ran 2000iu of HCG for the two weeks up to 11/7 when I started nolva and clomid at dosages of 40/50 respectively. I am not coming up on the start of week 3.

Observations so far:

MAH BALLS ARE HUGE. HCG usually kept them in check but my god it seems like they’ve grown bigger than before. Or I’m just not used to seeing them trying to work on their own. The first week into pct as well as the first week were pretty bad. I didn’t feel bad per-say, however, I had numerous people at work and in my personal life tell me I was a crabby bitch. Even joking asking if I’m hormonal on my period. Anxiety has gotten noticeably bad. I need to note that I’m naturally a very anxious person and suffer with anxiety. I don’t take any meds for it but have gotten them prescribed. It’s also worth noting that when I was on test, more so cruising, my anxiety was non existent. So I’m probably just going back to normal. Or it’s a side from the pct meds. Either way, it’s gotten bad going into week 3. I got bloods done after week 1. Now I understand that was probably a waste but it doesn’t matter to me. I wanted this test to see if I could tell my pct meds were legit (using Cipla). Bloods came back at:

Test - 211
Estrogen - 7
LH - 0.1
FSH - 0.03

I’m not expecting LH and FSH to come back up until week five or six from what I’m told so I’ll be getting more bloods at week 6.

I’d like to update this thread weekly if not more frequently with how I’m feeling, observations, and of course bloodwork throughout the recovery process. If no one is interested or I’m clogging the board, I’ll gladly delete.

Definitely interested. How’s the strength and size holding up so far on PCT?

Right now it’s all good. Strength is holding steady, Ive lost a bit of size. 7 lbs so far to be exact and I’ve upped my calories a bit. My wife says I don’t look any different but you know how that is…

I appreciate your attempt here, and I’ll be checking in on it periodically.

Have you gotten any semen analysis done? Are you planning to?

I haven’t gotten an analysis done, but that is going to be on my list after pct. I should have gotten it done prior to starting pct so I have a baseline. I’m wondering if it’s worth getting done during?

Nolvadex makes me crazy bitchy, clomid fucks with my vision, I hate pct meds so much, but I’m trying to get my girl pregnant as well, so I may be heading down the same path. I’m trying to get it done with just hcg for the moment. I love this log though more people should post info like this.

I would if I had the money. It’ll give you an idea of what to expect, at least as far as actually putting a muffin in that tight wet oven.

Entering week 3 of pct now. Lowered dose of clomid and nolva to 25/20 from 50/40. Going to run this for the next 8-10 weeks or so. So far, I’m still feeling decent. There are two main things I’ve noticed have diminished for sure, which should be fairly obvious. Sex drive and recovery are quite suppressed. I am SO sore from workouts now. I can’t remember ever being this sore. My sex drive is about a 4/10. I can still perform (pop a 10mg Cialis every now and then to help out) but the drive certainly isn’t the 10/10 it was while on test. I have noticed that my mood has gotten better. Compared to the few weeks after my last shot and the first week and a half of PCT, it’s much better. I’ll be getting bloods at week 6ish to see if FSH and LH are back online and will post here. I’m also contacting my doc after the holidays about a sperm test, I’ll be quite interested to see how I look.

Good luck man. I was going to do the same too to avoid this but I really want to knock up the wife so I figured the best way was a total break.

A couple days into week three and I can say that my mood seems to be getting much better. My balls are also still enormous. It’s like I notice them all the time now where I didn’t before. One thing that I notice is that I’m pissing like crazy. Like way more than I’m drinking. Could be to my estro levels being so low from the pct meds?

Yes, E2 might be low if you’re not retaining water well. Ingesting more salt & potassium might help a bit.

Just to clarify, you ran 2000 mg HCg/ week for weeks or 1000 mg HCg/week for two weeks?

Also, appreciate the post as I am going to be going through this very soon.

I ran 2000iu per week for the two weeks after my last shot up to beginning pct. I ran dosages of 250-500iu per week pretty much throughout the BnC also.

Thanks for the report.

Have you considered taking Torem?
Where do you get Torem?

I researched it a bit, but decided I was too unfamiliar with it and quite frankly a little scared of the castration effect I keep reading about. I figure I’ll go with the old tried and true pct route, hopefully it gets the job done. That being said, I’m heading into week 4 now and honestly I feel great. Energy is back up, mood is much better, strength and soreness are still a struggle though haha. Strength is down slightly. Not enough for me to care. I’m 33, used to powerlift and I don’t need to move a ton of weight anymore. Sex drive is still stuck at about 4/10. The desire just isn’t what it was. Hoping this will come up within the next few weeks…Looks wise, I feel I look much different. Overall, I’m down only 4 lbs but I feel like I’m much less “hard” and cut than I was. I think I’ll post some imgur links to what I was on blast, on cruise, and then a few weeks after pct

Yo Homie, my understanding is Triptorelin has a castrating effect (at really high dosages) but not Torem.

I could of course be wrong…and thanks for keeping the log!

Nope you’re right! My bad I got them confused. I didn’t know too much about Torem but suppose I can look further into should this pct not get the job done…
