Hello, I see a few threads regarding this topic, but I’d like to submit another one to answer some specific questions I have.
Basically, started TRT via a clinic back in June of this year (2021). Started at 120mg Test C per week. Eventually the doc bumped me to 140 then 160. Eventually I started experiences heavy anxiety and ED in August (while at 140mg) and serious emotional ups and downs since then. So, I decided to jump off. The doc told me they don’t prescribe PCT’s and said I can just cold turkey come off and I’ll be fine. Obviously I expected this answer so last week I had delivered 20,000 IU’s of HCG, and plenty of clomid and nolva.
My T levels before TRT were high 500’s and I felt fine. I’m 28 and I started to prep for a triathlon and boxing matches I have this winter. Not the best of ideas, but now I know. I’m hoping for a quick recovery so I can continue my training.
My last pin was 10 days ago. I feel much better already.
Questions:
Can I just do Nolva or do I need to do Clomid as well?
How much HCG if any?
Do I need to use arimidex?
Here is a short history of my labs:
June 2021 (pre-TRT)
Test: 550 NG/DL
E2: 17 NG/DL
All other labs in the normal range
August 2021
Test: 810 NG/DL
E2: 19 NG/DL
All other labs (including prolactin) within the normal range
October 2021
Test: 680 NG/DL
E2: 36 NG/DL (almost high) (felt like total shit here) (prolactin was normal)
LH and FSH almost at the low mark (to be expected)
