So, firstly - I am completely aware I have a <1% chance of ever making a FULL recovery and the chances are I’m going to end up on TRT for life. But anyway - always up for a challenge and I hope this gives others who are in a similar situation some motivation.
Straight to the story:
Hopped on at age 21 - Testosterone cypionate 250mg(1ml) weekly
Never hopped off. (go figure)
Never used any other compounds
Never blasted higher/ Cruised on lower
Just straight 250mg test cyp every week for 10 years straight
Throughout the 10 years I have been keeping E2 in range with aromasin 6.25mg EOD
Never used HCG (I know…)
Why did I hop on? A mixture of ex eating disorder sufferer as a teenager plus an “all or nothing” personality.
As a natural I got down to almost competition levels of conditioning - I felt how shit life was as a 6-8%BF natty (no energy, no libido etc) - figured I had two options, either sustain a more healthy bodyfat naturally or start exogenously injecting testosterone to maintain this level of leanness whilst being happy. So I chose the red pill.
Now I’m maturing and realizing all this was doing was masking my eating disorder/mental health. I feel like its time to face my bullshit head on.
The reason I’m want to come off? Simple - I never should have jumped on gear.
The physique I’m happy with is 100% totally achievable naturally
Nothing about my goals in the gym required gear
The gear use was just adding to my eating disorder and body dysmorphia - I’m ready to face those demons and I realise I absolutely do not wan to be a slave to something I dont need
So lets get straight to the ****ing fun part shall we
Blood attached - last ever set of bloods taken around 4 days after my last pin
I would say your chances are higher than you think but you may not like natural levels after a decade of blasting. HCH eod for 3 weeks after you last pin followed by Nolvadex for 6.
Triptorelin is risky but look into sub therapeutic dosing of triptorelin (legit one shot, like 100mcg… god forbid what you buy is overdosed)
GNrH agonist used to treat prostate cancer and/or can be used for chemical castration
So a small dose of this leads to a huge pulse in LH/FSH without the ensuing receptor downregulation and prolonged hypogonadism
There’s a case report where Italian endocrinologists got an ex bodybuilders system up and running with a shot of trip after failing traditional PCT a few times
It’s risky… as miscalculate/misgauge or your body perhaps responds differently amd you are at 100% shutdown without pharmacological intervention I.e test, hcg etc for six months
I don’t like giving advice on how to use meds because I know we all react differently…. But know this drug does exist… whether it really works thst well? Who knows, no decent clinical trials
you framed the question as “I’ll do pretty much anything” to recover
Otherwise recovery isn’t ACTUSLLY as impossible as you’d think… you won’t have the natty level you would have had (plus you had an eating disorder which also tanks testosterone)
But you’re looking at it taking maybe 1-3 years to recover natural production if you don’t pct aggressively and even then 6-12 months is likely
Your body composition will change quite significantly, at least until you recover and even then I can say the difference between 75-100mg test/wk (physiological for me) vs 250mg is huge.
I wish you all the best of luck. If you can adopt a healthy lifestyle (eat properly, sleep properly etc) you stand a decent chance of recovering… However you’ll feel like crap for a while…
