It absolutely does, and in my experience with PFS, if you run low E with PFS, it's double trouble.
4-Andro can be suppressive, but if the poster is far enough along in his recovery, I highly suggest the stack. The first time I took it with PFS, the feeling of E and DHT working again - FANTASTIC.
There ain't no traffic along the extra mile.
Never Quit.
I've run 4-andro and epi/androsterone before. Can recommend this stack with a sustain alpha style + herbs pct.
Cervix stabbing ftw.
I was about to go on a cycle next week of R-Andro and Potassium Choride. It's my third (and hopefully final) cycle.
Should I wait to add 4-Andro in there or should I be fine?
From rock bottom to rockstar, baby.
That depends on how close you are, really. If you're knocking on the door of being over this shit, I wouldn't mess with what is working. The 4/R Andro cycle was my last cycle before recovering. In the weeks leading up to it, I was having plenty of discussions with CD about how my low estrogen was hurting progress on cycles and in my opinion keeping me from the finish line. I talked it over with him and I decided to add 4 Andro to it and the rest is history. I think honestly it comes down to individual discretion. If you're not feeling low E, it might be better to just leave it alone. For example, @Swill had his best cycle on just R Andro alone.....the next one he added in with 4 Andro didn't go as well. Which was completely opposite of me.
It's all in your personal makeup, unfortunately. That's why I recommend if you're close to kicking the bucket on PFS, don't change what's been working.
This site is truly invaluable. Without it and the dialogue that’s created we def all wouldn’t be where we are today.
Update -so the past couple of days I’ve felt some fullness return “down there” I’ve also had a consistent slight uptick in libido. Couple random erection when working out... legit ones that I had to hide like my teens lmao.
Wednesday would be week 6 of my cycle. I have no shutdown symptoms and no real sides with it. So I’m going to continue with it for a couple more weeks.
I do have to be careful sometimes with the dose. Too much leads to joint pain. And I can tell I’m overdoing it.
It took a while to downregulate receptors. Figure with the consistency of the protocol we can bring them back slowly but surely.
