Restarting natural production

I just came back from a week long vacation where I skipped a weeks worth (2) of injections for the first time since starting self TRT of 5 years.

Here is what the PCT plan:

1) 5 days after last Test E injection start protocol.
2) HCG 500IU per day for 2 weeks.
3) Then, 25mg Clomid for 1 month.
4) See where I am at with blood test

It's been 6 days since my last injection so I am at step 2 where I should be taking HCG. However I do not have BAC water on hand. Is HCG necessary to give myself the best opportunity to recover? Or would you forget about HCG and take clomid in 2 weeks?

hCG can help before starting Clomid. Some doctors are even using both together.

If you can't get HCG I would just start with clomid 12.5 mg everyday or every other day.

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.
