Advice on How to Come Off TRT?

Greetings, new to the site but after doing a lot of reading on the internet I think this is the best place to possibly have my questions answered.

I am 29 years old and have been on self prescribed TRT for almost 4 years now. I have just come to realize how much of an idiot and ignorant I was when I first decided to try TRT out without fully understanding it or it’s implications. I never intended to be on for so long but it became such a normal thing for me the next thing I knew it had been years. The severe panic and anxiety has set in that I have now screwed my body’s natural homeostasis up for good. What I hope to find is advice on where to go from here.

My goal obviously is to hopefully be off supplements completely and live a normal happy life. Does anyone recommend a course of action I should take? I have read mixed things about PCT… whether to do it all, a HCG/nolva/Clomid regime or just a low dose SERM for a few months. I am 6’3” 230lbs and have take 250mg test c once (correction) a week for 4 years (no hcg). I get regular blood work through my job and everything is always within normal ranges.

P.S. What finally made me realize I need to get off of it is recently getting engaged and thoughts of future children. I do have testicular atrophy (obviously) and fear I have permanently damaged my testicles and sperm count.

500mg/wk usually isn’t trt, it’s a cycle, in your case a very prolonged one.

It’s likely the damage is already done as far as restoring your natural testosterone production to high normal, sperm production is another story. You can add FSH to any TRT protocol, it’s more effective than even HCG at restoring sperm production.

It wouldn’t hurt to try though, you never know until…

You could try a restart but don’t get your hopes up. I am same age as you and starting trt, from not using steroids properly when I was younger. You will still be able to have children but it might be a little harder for you. You’ll need to run some tests to know what your dealing with and how to proceed.
