Stopping trt without a pct?

[Jmoney]

Just curious. I had a varicocele surgery and stopped my testosterone to see if the surgery improved my testosterone levels. I've been off for 4 weeks almost. I was on trt for about 2 years and my dosage was 100mg weekly split into two injections. I am 43 years old.
I haven't taken a PCT. What is the benefit of taking a pct vs not? I heard a PCT just lessons the crash, regardless your hpta will restart.
So far I don't feel awful but I definitely feel very tired, low motivation, low libido but I am still working out and pushing myself to do things. When should I retest my levels with labs also?
Thanks!

I didn't crash, I just kept feeling better the longer I'm off TRT. You're never going to get definitive answers, because for some of us we recover our HPTA rather quickly making a PCT redundant, while others take longer to restart HPTA functionality without a PCT.

My HPTA has always bounced back very fast, which tells me that testosterone was never my problem.
