Update to this if still interested.
I think the culprit might be the a sarm.
Honestly, during that cycle, i had mixed my own raws to make an osterine solution and mk677 solution.
I put them in sterile vials with droppers, With no labels. during the cycle i knew which was which.
I could have been accidently taking the osterine instead of the mk677.
stupid on my part.
When i had done my pct after the cycle, i was fine, able to have sex, and waking up was not issue.
then i hurt my back, and started taking mk677* in an attempt to improve healing, and overall wellness.
It was around that time, that waking up was very difficult.
i have completed my 4 additional weeks of PCT. I feel better. I think i need to give it another week or so to get bloodwork to see where my base line is at…
fingers crossed. I am 29, i do not plan on staying on for the rest of my life, just yet. i would like to make it to mid 30’s and try to recover from each cycle.
Hey man, so your whole post is very confusing.
For one, you refence a long ester or Testosterone; but you never state what ester oF Test you are running. All you say is “Test 250 ramped up to 500”. That could be Test E, C, U, or even some uncommon ones (Like D). If it was Test E, then no, that is not longer lasting at all, and your PCT should have been fine.
Second, you have terrible formatting for your cycle; this isn’t to say it is a terrible cycle, but the way you posted it makes it very confusing to understand. A better way to post it would be:
Test E - 500mg/week - Week 1-15
Tren E - 400mg/week - Week 1-15
etc.
Tapering is pretty old school btw, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Just KISS and run the same weekly dose all cycle.
You also don’t say anything about waiting 2 weeks to start your PCT after stopping your cycle. So, if you ran Test/Tren/etc. for Weeks 1-15, you should run NOTHING (except HCG) in Weeks 16 and 17. Then you start your PCT in week 18.
Thirdly, directly related to your blood work; normally ~3 months post PCT is a good time to get bloods done. ~6 months is a more accurate time period to see if you have recovered fully, but most people are not patient enough. Also relating to blood work, you didn’t tell us your pre-gear bloodwork. You could have had low test before starting gear, so having low test after gear wouldn’t be a surprise at all. Also, I am not sure what ‘error 42’ means. I have never heard about that before; but your LH and FSH are very high (assuming you are using mIU/ml), so it looks like you PCT was effective in this regard. Your E2 is a bit high as well, but I wouldn’t sweat that very much, and again, having a pre-cycle baseline would be needed.
Lastly, are you talking about running Osterine instead of MK-677 during PCT/off cycle? Because that would contribute to suppression. But if you were only running it on cycle, it shouldn’t have suppressed you any more than running Test or Tren would, and it has a much shorter half-life than either of those too, so it would be pretty much completely out of your system by PCT (24 hour half-life IIRC).
