I started trt 1 month ago getting weekly injections of 150mg testosterone cypionate along with hcg 250mg once a week. I decided I want to stop because it’s costing a lot, I haven’t found a good doctor yet and I feel I wasnt to bad to begin with.
My question is, is it okay to stop cold turkey after just one month? My testicles have shrunk quite a bit and I’m worried it may take a while to bounce back. Should I take hcg or clomid?
Thank you!
It’s doubtful you’re shut down yet.
No and I’d be very surprised if you didn’t bounce back quickly. Your LH should return to baseline once the cypionate is out of your system.
I stopped TRT after 2.5 years and bounced back after only 4.5 weeks with no HCG or clomid.
Yes.
No.
Thank you for the replies. I am going to take that advice. I was going to ask for hcg since the clinic I go to sells it for $16. I just didn’t want it to take forever to bounce back since I’m going to visit my girlfriend mid April and my libido to be completely wiped.
Disagree.
Just go cold turkey. You’ll be fine.
Just so you understand, HCG will still supress the HPTA and therefore LH, but the testes will make testosterone.
