I’ve gave in and started a cycle after lots of TRT frustration. Can I PCT off altogether or back on TRT
Thanks madman yet again for a very comprehensive answer. It’s very much appreciated. Judging by the paper you sent the idea of a 4/5week PCT won’t be very likely so plan will be to follow the timeline in that study with bloodwork around week 12. Not sure if there’s test gel available without...- Spartan1985

Thanks for the reply. Sounds positive and that there may be life after TRT as a possibility I often wonder whether my HPTA is just fried altogether. I’m finishing this cycle around 3rd week in August then going to attempt PCT to achieve a natural baseline and re-evaluate after a few months at...- Spartan1985

Why did you do the 2 months off? Was that just to restore some normal function? I think I’ve been over training as was on a mission to try be in good shape for turning 40 in a few weeks but hit burnout which set the whole process back around 2 months. Aside from that though I’ve had a poor...- Spartan1985

I’ve read through that but again the focus seems to be mostly in regaining fertility. I’m essentially looking to see if the end of this cycle would be a good time to just come off TRT and how that could be done safely and effectively. As per the end of any cycle there is always an expected crash...- Spartan1985

Hi Madman thanks for taking the reply, it was actually your advice that allowed me find a balance with previous issues so thanks again for that. I’ve got 3 kids and no intentions of adding any more under any circumstances so fertility has no bearing on my life thankfully. I was essentially...- Spartan1985

So after a long frustrating process with TRT and managing side affects with little benefits I found a kind of tolerable middle ground after some kind advice from members on here. Was doing 10mg test prop subQ daily with 250iu hcg. This made the side effects of worsening ED issues etc a little...- Spartan1985

ED issues with TRT absolutely lost and local doctors dont seem to have any answers.
So quick update on progress. Been using subQ daily test p at 10mg and things seem to be going well. Emotions are stable, cognitive function is stable, erection quality has improved but still need vardenafil for full erection. (Believe now this isn’t related to TRT but think the previous issues...- Spartan1985

Was it nhs prescribed TRT or private? Why did you come off? I’d be wary of the nhs use of the word normal for levels as they are very reserved in my experience. Did you use a pct to come off the TRT? There’s far more experienced guys on here that may have an answer for you but I’ve always found...- Spartan1985

Yeah defo don’t tolerate these well at all they always lead to a crash and going by what other members have been saying the dosages I’ve been prescribed to date are too high so resulting in E2 rising too high causing issues the AI crashing me. Started 10mg test p daily SubQ this week to approach...- Spartan1985

Great video thanks for sharing Madman. Weird how I’ve got TRT docs pushing for higher doses to fix it and also nhs urologist actually blaming the exogenous testosterone for causing it. Its no wonder there’s so many guys completely confused chasing answers in the wrong areas.- Spartan1985

Thanks for taking the time to provide such a detailed answer you clearly know truly how these things work. Wish my urologist had that level of knowledge to be honest. I’ve been referred to a regional urologist and will request the ultrasound you mentioned I have looked for a private company that...- Spartan1985

Hi madman, your knowledge seems mega detailed and reads very well. I appreciate the complexity of ED and cannot claim to have the knowledge required to try and rectify it unfortunately. Is there any other biomarkers in my blood results I should monitor/look at that may hold clues to what...- Spartan1985

That makes a lot of sense. Weirdly I had hcg from the first prescription but as I started in what’s probably a fairly unusual position having gone from a long steroid cycle to letting it crash to TRT it may have been originally too low going by what you are saying there. Often wonder whether the...- Spartan1985

Testicular atrophy has always been an issue since starting and the doses of hcg to date haven’t managed to rectify that. It has defo led to additional complications with oestrogen though as found things improved in some ways since dropping it. Haven’t tried daily smaller doses though to be fair...- Spartan1985

Think I’ll go with subq for daily injections as it’s what I’m most comfortable with self administering. I read through your thread, you’ve certainly had a turbulent journey and sad to read you’re still not any closer to an answer on the libido issue. The technical detail of some of the responses...- Spartan1985
