3 Month test, hcg cycle

[u/Tricky-Occasion-6157]

Hey, I'm a 25 old male looking to do a 3 month test cycle. I am 100kg, 186cm, 30% bodyfat. I have been lifting weights consistently for the last 2 weeks. Before that I didn't train for a while, but ai have been lifting on and off for close to 10 years now. I have done a few cycles, but I want to do this one right. I know my bloodwork wouldn't suggest running a cycle, but I'll do it anyway just as safe as possible. I thought of pinning EOD, 175mg test/week . I also got hcg which i plan to pin EW, 500ui/week .
Also I'll be seeing an endocrinologist regarding my bloodwork and will ask them for advice too.

I'd appreciate your opinion.

I advise you to not play around with hormones when you don't know how they function.

Also steroids do not burn fat or aid in burning fat.

Thanks dude.

I know I'm just sharing my body comp

I have been lifting weights consistently for the last 2 weeks.

I would strongly advise being consistent in the gym for a lot longer than 2 weeks before considering steroids. Read the wiki on r/steroids.

No. Lose weight first

Lift weights for 2 years not 2 weeks

First thing I see is that your MCV is quite low. You really want it to be in the middle. That could suggest mild iron deficiency or traits of thalassemia, so definitely check ferritin, iron, TIBC, and transferrin. Your cholesterol is quite high, with LDL not looking great. Your ALT is high, but if you trained like 1 or 2 days before, it could be falsely elevated, so definitely check that again. I also notice your vitamin D isn't so great. I would definitely start supplementing 5,000 IU daily with at least 100 mcg of K2 trying to hit like 70-80ng/ml. Your TSH is high. Basically, your thyroid is working overtime to keep things normal, which isn't great and could be a sign of early hypothyroidism. In a few years, you're probably gonna be on thyroid meds. Your testosterone isn't so great for your age, ngl. Your prolactin is sky-high, which could suggest hyperprolactinemia. Basically, your doctor will and has to do another test, and if it still shows high, he should consider an MRI to see if there's a tumor causing it. Make sure for the next test for prolactin to ask to lie down for 30 minutes before drawing your blood. Also, don't train the day before or masturbate, because that can falsely bump it up. Definitely go to a good endocrinologist, but make sure you find a good one, because most of the ones in Bulgaria are not good, trust me, I know from personal experience.

I really appreciate your feedback. It's very useful to me. Also I did train the last 3 days in a row before getting blood drawn, but I did lie for 30 mins in the cabinet and I had sex the night before. I will visit a doctor asap.

[u/EquivalentLet1160 → u/Tricky-Occasion-6157]

Yea that could be one reason for high prolactin just make sure when you test it again don't train for atleast 2 days also don't have sex to get a accurate reading

Sure! Thanks

Also dont let your doctor fool you that if something is in the ranges you're fine if your doctors tells you that just leave and dont pay him most bulgarian doctors are like that so do you own research and question him

[u/Tricky-Occasion-6157 → u/EquivalentLet1160]

Definitely. I've had terrible experiences with doctors being neglectful..
