TRT Reset protocol questions

[Dks888]

Hi all,

i've been on TRT for about a year. Took a break 6 months ago for about 6 weeks and intend to do so again starting now. I'd like your advice on reset protocol. I've been taking 50-75 test e every 3 days together with hcg and nolvadex (tiny amounts).

My question is, as i've been on HCG, should i do for the reset cycle as suggested by Dr Saya (3-400 hcg eod x14 followed by clomid) or would that apply if hcg has not been continously used?

many thanks for all advice.

For the record I am 30y of age.

best regards,
David

I would still use the HCG first.

The HCG dosing is simply a primer for the testes anyways, the critical part of the HPTA restart is the SERM (Clomid and/or nolvadex) which restarts the system "from the top down".

I messed up pretty bad, and now I need help

Long-term is actually better, it helps stabilize your HCT.

i have to admit i am not the most read-up but my concern is mainly on fertility in the future should i continue for years. Am i wrong to be so?

If you want to remain fertile, I would try to stay on low dose clomid. Hopefully you will feel good, but many members do not feel good with clomid.

Are guys that do well on low dose clomid unicorns...or do they really exist?

so you would see no point in taking a "break"?

Long term effects like consistent supply of testosterone, continuing to make muscle gains in the gym and ever improving health. The only people who takes breaks from testosterone are those who abuse it and want to maintain a perfect normal testosterone levels.

If you need TRT because of a deficiency, you don't ever come off, you would then lose everything you gained while on TRT. If you had vitamin D deficiency and were supplementing vitamin D, you wouldn't take a break every 6 months and allow yourself to become vitamin D deficient would you?

I'm not ever coming off because going back to a geriatric testosterone levels is out of the question. Testosterone isn't some drug, it's a hormone your body evolved to process.
