Hey Guys,
I came to the forum to expand my knowledge and just casually read into more about PEDS after consuming pretty much all content on YouTube. As for my personal journey, I took MK677 back in 2018 for maybe 5 months.
I was trying to avoid all SARMS til I felt ready for actual Test. I wanted to avoid HPTA shutdown but ironically still ended up hypogonadal for a couple years from what I now suspect was my prolactin and cortisol getting out of wack with running MK677 too long. I got fat, had ED and a 267 total test. My PCP just said it was depression and said felt better, rip.
I ended up reading up on Prolactin, started taking P5P 100mg daily for 3 months, I started getting morning erections and better EQ after 10-12 weeks. Simultaneously I was also committed to daily cardio before adding in Retatrutide, which super charged my fat loss. I ended up losing 98lbs in total during 2025.
Over 7 months I went from 287lbs to 189lbs and I felt like I recovered 80% of my body's function. I was also in a better place to do bloodwork and had two reads where I was 380 and 420 on total test, 18 and 16 on sbhg and under 30 each time for E2. I had already tried optimizing best could before I started TRT about 6 weeks ago.
Now I am on 150mg Test C 3x weekly, I feel like I am in a good space. Looking into HGH to help with skin tightening and maybe polish, I already healed remarkably well, I am not expecting surgery like results more so for the cosmetic finish.
Thanks for reading
