Hello W. Ubseld, I returned to baseline in a few months after being on gel w/o hcg for decades. I did not have any help, therapy or otherwise. It was an unnecessary hell, the result of ignorance.
As a general rule men will be on "PCT" for as many months as they were on testosterone. Post up your history, stats and labs. You will get sound advice here including options other than TRT if appropriate.
edit: You posted while I was. Our baseline is similar although that doesn't mean much. Read the welcome/intro thread and answer as many questions as you are comfortable with. Everyone responds differently. No one can say for sure how long it will take to shut down your LH TSH. On the average three weeks is no big deal but it might be better to get fully informed before you go further. For instance you might well be able to get up to a satisfactory level w/o TRT. What is a "satisfactory level" ? Don't play the numbers game. Go with how you feel and what your doc sees in such things as bone density.
It takes time for your body to adjust to TRT. Don't worry about roid rage or even feeling "edgy" that will go away.
one time shot: hCG? That will boost your T but the benefit will be gone in less than a week. Sound advice might be to start with environmental diet and lifestyle changes. Then medically guided substances other than T. In rare cases regular hCG alone. I am not an expert.
