When would this protocol be started for someone coming off twice weekly TRT doses?

I am getting results of a semen analysis and if they are poor, I'm contemplating doing the following after talking to my doctor as one of my options. When would one start this protocol? How long after the last test cyp injections?



The protocol for HPTA normalization contains (edited on Dec 2017):

First 15 days:

HCG 1,000-2,000 IU (subcutaneous) every 3 days;
Clomiphene citrate 25-50 mg orally once a day; and
Tamoxifen 20 mg orally once a day.

A satisfactory testosterone level on day 15, typically 350 ng/mL or greater, is followed by the oral medications (no HCG) for an additional 15 days (25 mg per day clomiphene would be sufficient).

I would try 1000 IU HCG twice per week for 4-6 weeks. After the HCG, I would take 25 mg/day of Clomid instead of 50 mg for 4 weeks and 12.5 mg/day for another 4 weeks.

How soon after the last tect cyp inject do I start the protocol?

Yes you can start it right after your last shot. You use HCG, as the last of your injected testosterone leaves your body. Then you start using Clomid.
