FATLOSS ON TEST AND RETA

[fatlloss_16974]

Hi everyone , I just recently got my bloodwork done last week and wanted to share in this community to get insights from experts/pros and seniors . My doctor thinks my kidney has been a bit affected from exogenous test.
My stats:
AGE : 22
HEIGHT: 5'8
CURRENT WEIGHT : 89.6KG
CYCLE: 250 TEST PER WEEK AND RETA 2 MG PER WEEK UNTIL THIS WEEK DOSE TITRATED TO 2.5MG PER WEEK
I started RETA 4 weeks back at weight of 96.4kg and up until now which is the 4th week going on , my weight has gone down 89.6kg (checked fasted in morning). My goal is to do a serious cut and get down to low bodyfat , enough to see my prominent abs.
250 TEST E , I have been doing that from 17 FEB 2026. I would appreciate any genuine advice and suggestions for improvement in order to get my bloodwork better and in general as well. You can see the pictures of bloodwork below.

Nice to see you are not going full throttle on the Test being young at 22.

Please continue your journey with low doses.

So you have been on this cycle for 19 weeks?
Is this your first cycle?

You are headed towards trt if you just stay on long term.

You have shut down your natural supply of testosterone or know as endogenous testosterone and it may not come back to what it was before you start. How many times a week are you weight training?
Truth been told I would get off of the steroids and go on a Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT) with hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Then just use Retatrutide to lose weight till you get down to 15% body fat. They say your Body Fat should be at 15% or so before you start steroids.

Id second this. Its only 250mg but 19 weeks is pretty good. Take a nice long break if you plan on doing it again in the future

I am not sure about bodyfat % but I will try to upload a recent picture. Moreover, I am eating around 1900-2100 calories a day because just two big meals a day due to RETA, it's suppressing my diet super crazy.

How long do you plan being on testosterone? People that stay on testosterone for years usually have problems with fertility. Some of them have their semen frozen sperm cryopreservation just by chance for back up when things go sideways.

Go to body fat formula pull down box and pick Navy Tape Measurer Method. Do you have a tape measure?

I know the first point , i am training currently 6-7 times a week and every now and then a rest day with fasted cardio . Why should I come off when all my blood markers are in check after 5 months of this cycle , for hematocrit , I am going to donate blood and then secondly I am going to add more water intake in order to protect my kidney values.

I plan to see a peak physique for myself like quiet low bodyfat and then I will drop to trt dosage to kind of give my body some rest and if at that time blood markers say so , but I have researched alot regarding fertility and conceiving so I will look into hcg along with trt when conceiving , or else temporarily i will come off completely and give time as much as it takes to concieve , and use hcg and hmg to bring my sperm count back . I hope you understand,

Nope bought if myself .

I remember being 22 and not giving a shit about fertility or at least thinking I would bounce back. HCG and Clomid were standard fair back then. You say you will run HMG and HCG at some point when you are ready to try for a family so you can stay on TRT dose for now. Probably not the best game plan. I struggled for the better part of 8 years to finally get one to catch so we could start our family. Trust me when I say you have no clue how stressful trying to start a family is when it’s your system that is the problem. Dropping the test and letting your natural system boot back up is what I would personally do looking back at my own experiences.



If I could suggest one thing to you it would be to hire a coach. Try reaching out to @Funnyman and let him guide you. You will be able to reach your fat loss goal and stay healthy with solid bloodwork numbers.



But it’s your life and your body, giver shit…good luck.

Just know there are no guarantees of a bounce back if you stay on. I highly urge you to consider doing pct.

Just nut in a ziplock and throw it in the freezer like a normal person.
