Suppressed Test 8 weeks post Ostarine cycle
30 yo M I ran Ostarine 25 mg for 10 weeks and got great results but the labs I just got back have got me worried about my HPA rebound.
At the end of my cycle my levels were:
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL, MS 514
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 119
Wouldn't you expect my T to be surpassed at this point from running a SARM for 10 weeks?
Just got my labs after running Nolva 4 weeks then ralox for 4 weeks (got sensitive nipples but no gyno)
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL 169 L
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 20 L
Im obviously concerned because I feel like my T should have rebounded by now 8 weeks post cycle. My baseline levels are always well into the normal range. I have clomid on hand which might increase my FSH/LH and help restart my HPA axis. I don't really feel any symptoms of Low T but I have been only sleeping about 4-5 hours a night. Could that be the cause of such a low T level? Should I get a new set of labs?

did you get LH checked?
99% of the time, changes to T are cos of lifestyle issues. stress, diet, recovery/sleep, over exertion.
if your LH is fine, look at your lifestyle, if there's nothing obvious, just run a PCT
