OK about 2-3 weeks back I began winny oral and T3. Winny was at 50 mg T3 at 50 mcg- came off after 3 days because of the joint pain.

Also last week I decided to start another PCT as I felt I had low test levels so I took 1 20 mg tab of Nolvadex but decided to save them for another time.

So here's my dilemma, my doc wants to do a testosterone level test. Would you think I should wait a little longer before having the test as it could be distorted after taking what I did even though I know it was a small amount.

Please any insight would be very appreciated would the nolva affect anything after 1 dose a week later??

Thanks

you have to be straight up with your doctor. tell him everything. there are no worries with sharing this information with him.
you said you started another pct? what was your first pct recovery for?
 
Well Basically 18 months ago I did a cycle of test 500 mg pw made some good gains but stayed on a bit long. I did a pct but my concern (the reason I'm getting tested is that I think I may have a high estrogen/testosterone ratio. I have weight I can't lose with diet and exercise, feel slightly depressed low on energy, no drive etc. So last week thought that if I started another PCT it may boost my test levels and stabalize the ratio.

So last week I thinking my doc wouldn't consider a testosterone test I took 1x 20 mg of Nolva and was going to carry on but then the doc saud he would test for my level.

My basic question is- will a single dose of nolva only taken on 1 day effect a testosterone panel 1 week later or should I wait another week. I mean it can't make that much difference right?
 
It won't make a difference..tell your doctor everything you've told us and get the test....

you can try finding your basal metabolic rate:

then calculaing your daily calorie needs using your bmr:

^^^replace some of those calories with protein, as the body expends more energy to burn protein.

the nolvadex wont stop aromatase.

yeah, does kinda sound like low T. what pct did you run?
has anything else in your life changed? break-up? new job? new diet? anything?
