Recommendation for proper PCT after TRT Misdiagnosis

You don't need PCT. Your body knows what to do and you will return to baseline levels in 1-2 months, especially if your TRT was only several months long.

PCT is for body builders to "not lose the gains" before their next cycle.
 
I was on TRT for 3 years, stopped cold turkey and returned to baseline in 4.5 weeks, even with continuing health problems. So if you were misdiagnosed, you most likely don’t need a PCT.

If you insist on a PCT, 14 days hCG at 500 IU 2-3 times per week, followed by clomid for 28 days.
 
Here is a thread that should help you, and there others here you can search for:


In general, dose and duration determine how will you will bounce back however there is a lot of evidence from user reports and studies that show there is large variation from person to person. In general, no one can see into the future and say whether you "need" PCT or not, especially without knowing dose and duration. However thinking logically, saying you don't need PCT is like saying you don't need rehab after your leg has been in a cast. Yes, it may come back on its own, but it will likely take longer, be less likely, and the delay itself could introduce issues by creating a longer period of shutdown/atrophy. Your personal situation is also a factor. A short run of clomid at a low dose seems like no-brainer since it is very low risk and cheap, but do your own research and decide what's best for you.
 
I agree with everyone.

We have no good data on PCT protocols at all.

I would get off TRT and take daily Cialis, caffeine in the morning, chewable melatonin at night, and ride it out. If you were on TRT for a short period and your baseline T was above 400 ng/dL, you should come up to baseline in a month or two. If you have access to hCG or Clomid, then I would use 1000 IU of hCG three times per week or 25 mg of Clomid per day. But if you have no access, just ride it out like everyone else is saying.
 
Hey guys having to get off TRT, and looking for a strong pct, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Things to keep in mind!

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.
