Rookie Question

[Beginner85]

hi
ive been prescribed primoteston 250mg per fortnight due to muscle loss after a shoulder injury. post injury a subsequent blood test showed low free testosterone

I know that this dose is too low to get any great gains. are there any chances of a slight gain staying on this amount??

Will i need PCT for such a low dose?? will this damage my ability to produce natural test

Yes you need PCT after any exogenous test injections.
Only the muscle was damaged or also the shoulder joint?
The 250 mg/fortnight is not going to do you real benefit other than shutting down your own testosterone production.
What are your stats?

ok thanks,

I suffered a Grade 3 Ac separation to right shoulder, but am getting it reconstructed next year.
my stats are:
27 yr old male
6ft and 78kgs about 10%bodyfat
test is 19.2 nmol/L
Free test is 43.3 pmol/L

The Dr has put me on 250mg test enanthate a fortnight for 6 months. with a follow up test in 3 months to check..

What would you recommend that i take for PCT or should I not take the test??

[HUGE.HULK]

The 250 mg test enanthate will speed up the recovery of the muscle injury, but at the same time will shut down your own test production. After 6 months ON without PCT it will take your HTPA to recover up to 18 months.So, in my opinion you should start PCT 14 days after your last test shot.
Anyhow, if the injury looks somewhat like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...seperation.png I would add 150 mg deca/week, to help heal the joint itself.

250 for 6 months? Wow, im surprised your doc put you on something to shut you down like that. Was he planning on giving you anything to recover 'post cycle'??

[Beginner85]

the doc didnt even mention post cycle

what would you recommend to take post cycle and can this also be prescribed by a Dr??

Do these stats mean that I am Hypo??

I am hoping to run a stronger cycle next year after the surgery..

[Beginner85]

just spoke to the dr and he said that PCT is not required for such a low dose of 250mg a fortnight

I need to take a blood test after the 6mth cycle and if test drops he can prescribe clomid...

does this sound correct???

That's only 500mgs a month. Don't except to much from that. Is this your first time getting test injections?

[Beginner85]

yeah first time with test, its not really for massive gains but im just worried about it shutting me down for minimal results when there is no PCT

[Beginner85]

i just dont want to be on trt for life if i start taking it with no PCT

[mdella89]

Your doctor is a complete fucking moron. seriously. thats the most retarded thing ive heard

[Beginner85]

So after doing some reading and Im thinking of keeping the test untill after the surgery next year then getting some more and running my first cycle post surgery at 500mg a week followed by PCT.

however, the dr has already given me one shot 250mg last week, will that affect my test of i dont take anymore??can i just let my natural test stabilize after only one shot??
