[QUOTE="testiculus, post: 165791, member: 17128"] I don't have any experience with cycles, but this applies for TRT restarts as well as cycles. It is important to remember that relatively small amounts of circulating exogenous testosterone will suppress pituitary production of LH. If stopping testosterone, one would want to continue with HCG until the exogenous testosterone has dropped to levels that are no longer suppressive. For someone on 100 mg/week TRT this may take 3 or 4 half lives. Assuming a 5 day half life for testosterone cypionate, this would mean continuing HCG for 2 to 3 weeks after stopping testosterone for someone on TRT. For a cycle, where doses are much higher, it may take 6 or 7 or more half lives for exogenous testosterone levels to drop to a point where they are no longer suppressive. Once you stop the HCG it should clear within 3 or 4 days at which point in time it will possible for the pituitary to restart LH production. Whether the pituitary will then produce adequate levels of LH will be dependent upon age, duration of suppression, and other unknown individual factors. [/QUOTE]
