PCT Protocol

Greetings All,

I have made a decision to come off TRT after 17 months. I would prefer not to get into the long explanation of why as it would take me a week of writing. However, I would really appreciate any feedback on my PCT.
Current TRT Protocol - 80 mg Testosterone (EOD injections) and 500iu HCG once per week throughout entire 17 months.

Current plan for PCT - 500iu HCG EOD for 6 weeks then 12.5 mg Enclomiphene for 6 weeks after HCG phase.

Questions -
1. Is this an acceptable PCT plan for the dosage I am currently at?
2. I am sensitive to E2 changes. Will either of these phases cause any E2 spikes? My last blood work at 100mg per week was in January 2022 and my E2 (I am a 48 year old) showed an E2 of 45.1 just above high normal. I have not had bloodwork at 80 mg per week but I suspect my E2 has dropped into normal range.

I appreciate any feedback, suggestions, comments, etc.
 
It sounds like your protocol for coming off TRT is good. I would stick with it and hopefully it works. I wish you the best of luck.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
