Thread: Test results dont look to good.....

what time of the day did you get your blood drawn? also if u do another cycle sure, but you do risk having your test levels be even lower..

You should be looking at TRT. In most cases a successful PCT will only get you back to pre-cycle levels, which in your case doesn't look appealing. If insurance doesn't cover TRT, do what many of us do, cruise on test/hcg.

Check out Heavy's thread on blast/cruise.

I'd be on TRT now if I were you brother, do it yourself if you have to, WP carries pharm grade test if you decide to go that route

TRT is your best option. If your insurance doesn't cover it then you can pay for the script yourself if you are put on injectable Test it is usually not too pricey but the creams can be costly and don't work well. Most insurance companies will cover it if your levels are below 200. Which you will be very soon if you do another cycle. If you do another cycle I would get blood work done after the hormones clear and not start PCT until you have blood drawn then your levels should be very very low and the insurance should cover it in most places. Low Test is a medical condition so I don't see how they can get around it if your levels are below their standards. Which is usually 200.

Scary thread . . . No problems before the cycle? I can't believe one cycle would ruin your test levels all by itself. Have you tried some HCG followed by a proper PCT?

He's 45 years old. T levels drop as men age.

Especially with all the chemicals and preservatives we consume.

Mine were actually lower at 33. I actually discovered it while doing precycle blood work. It explains why I wasn't able to lose any fat or gain muscle no matter how hard I worked or what I did.

Low T is not just a cause of ED. It affects a lot, mood, sleep cycle, metabolism. It can cause high cholesterol. Your insurance should cover it.

Would that be $150 for one 10ml vial of test without insurance?

Your levels are not abnormal at your age.consult with your doc before doing any TRT.

Yes

My insuranse pays for mine, but without that is the cost. Cruise at 200mg Ew 10 week supply.

Cite, please? I am almost the same age, and I do not have any of the problems being discussed. If what you say is true, can you provide something other than your anonymous internet opinion as support?

I keep hearing this, but to that level?
Are there studies out there on this issue?

Good deal..!!

OP...if your ins does not cover for TRT then buyin or pay for the script is the next best thing...$150 for 10wks for pharm grade is good imo..
