[QUOTE="musician32, post: 164302, member: 39877"] Hey guys, I've been doing research on here for a while and want to say I'm grateful that this community exists! I have done a ton of research so I'll try to get right to my question that I can't seem to find an answer on. Brief back story: I'm 35 years old with TT readings around 400-450 and free T at the bottom range. I don't have a ton of symptoms but I wouldn't say I feel "optimal". Back in my 20's I ran some testosterone cycles with pct (but no hcg) for about 5 years off an on and I haven't touched any gear in about 6 years. Because of the low readings I'm now attempting to do a restart since the last time I did one it seemed to go pretty well (4 years ago) but lately my testosterone labs have dipped down. Question: Is it ok to stop HCG at the end of an 8 week restart and not take anything to stimulate the pituitary (clomid nolva etc)? Long story short I had some real bad sides from those drugs in the past and I will never take those again. I could take arimidex but I'm worried about tanking my estrogen and feeling like shit on that drug. So I guess my question is, if I take nothing will I likely bounce back quickly or will I feel terrible for an extended period of time. I'm fully aware how everything works, LH being shut down while on HCG etc and I'm curious if anyone has stopped hcg cold turkey like this. Side note: I'm running HCG for 8 weeks total. I was doing 700 iu's 3x per week but I just did a blood test at week 3 and I'm only at 550 TT. Therefore I'm going to bump it up to 1000 iu's 3x per week. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
