I believe your testicles shrink and you will struggle to get and maintain an errection..

Good question actually - Bump for Hacksii

I think its that your balls shrink - but whether or not if you can get a hardon depends on alot of things, what gear your taking - whether your taking hcg etc.
As for phisical factors - apart from ball shrinkage, never noticed any myself. But then I always take test and hcg on my cyles.

When you get shut down doesn't your sex drive die a bit? That's why I guessed you'd struggle to get an errection!

ah right my first course was for 15 weeks or so, i didnt do any pct after and could still get a erection and maintain it so i guess im alrite !

cheers

Shut down basically means that your testicals no longer produce testosterone -
However if you are injecting test - which will be at alot higher dose than your body was producing - you will function on this and because it is a higher dose your sexual function increases - more frequent erection, higher labido etc.

Its when you use gear like deca, tren etc that kill your willy if your are not on enough test.

But even this can be countered with drugs like cabaser, hcg etc.

I think what I say is correct.

you did a 15 week course with no PCT and just because you maintained an erection you think that you are ok.....mmm yea ok...
this beckons the question why didn't you do a PCT as there is loads of info on the web detailing the importance of PCT...

the only true way of knowing if you are shutdown is by having a blood test done...my sex drive does not dip after a course but my bloods tell me that i am not recovered..
not everyone sufferes from atrophy of the nuts and erection problems so go get your bloods done...

yeah i know that it was a stupid thing to do, but it was a rough time for me. iv learnt my lesson from it, the reali wierd thing is though i didnt lose that much. and i was hardly train after for about 2 months !. my next course though is gona be in two weeks im gona run nolva the whole way through finish with winstrol tabs and do clomid and nolvo for pct.

how do u go about getting your blood done ?

do you go to the doctors and tell them y u want it done ?

also i have to go fro a blood test soon coz i told my doc im always feelin tired, will they pick up on if im shut down as well ?

thanxs

i get my bloods done by my Doc
when you get your bloods done ask them to take for FSH/LSH - Test - Thyroid

LondonGeezer · 03-07-2006, 05:40 PM
