Default getting natural test levels back after a cycle?

its a simple question really - if you do a cycle with proper pct, will your test levels return to the same level that they were before you started the cycle. Just wondered because i read something that suggested otherwise. cheers

i don't see why not last year i was off the gear for 11months but my test levels regained normal levels after 6 months...the important factor is what PCT is best for you and make sure you get bloods carried out before and after the cycle as this is the only true way of telling full recovery has happened.

is getting your bloodwork done something that you have to pay for or can it be done on the NHS. if not - is it expensive?

is it possible, even without PCT for ur test levels to ever return to normal. Im sure certain dosages, how many times u use and time off is a factor, but do ur test levels ever return to "normal"? or are u constantly lowering ur natural test by using gear?

Of course they will. Like you said, its all about dosage and duration.

The higher the dosage and/or the longer the duration the longer you will need to be off for everything to return to normal [Hint - it WILL take more than a couple of weeks!!]

The human body has an inbuilt mechanism (called Homeostasis) which , basically is your body having a natural level FOR EVERYTHING in it to be at. And it will fight like crazy to keep it at that level. That is why after a cycle of Anabolics you get a subsequent elevation of Cortisol, a catabolic hormone. Like wise after using diuretics you get a subsequent 'rebound' of water-retention.

If you leave it long enough your body will find it's way back to its 'confortable' level - i.e. your natural levels.
