+ 2 The PCT of my life!
I have yet to see a thread about PCT for TRT guys who are trying or pondering having children. That's exactly what I'm going through.
So I ended up with Low T after having two major spinal injuries. I also believe prolonged hydrocodone use from these injuries contributed to my Low T. My wife and I have been together for 13 yrs. I was 20 and she was 17 when we started dating We didnt want to have kids until we were married and secure financially. She was on birth control for years and we put the thought of having kids in the background.
Well time has gone by and I am 33 and she is 30. We finally are both ready emotionally and financially to have kids but now I'm diagnosed with hypogonadism. I have been on TRT since 2007 and am afraid of never being able to experience fatherhood.
I am winding down this cycle and have 4 wks left before beginning the PCT of my life. I have essentially been on cycle since February. I know I'm extremely shut down and want to know if any other guys have been through this and were still able to have kids? What was your PCT regimen?
I'm pretty sure I'm going to run a 6 wk PCT. A frontload of Clomid for the first two wks and another four wks of the clomid. I'll also run nolvadex for 6wks and a low dose of Aromasin for the first two wks of this PCT maybe longer. I still have 4 wks to finalize my dosages and want to give this my best shot and document this process the entire way. I'll be taking labs to help me determine the success of this PCT. I am not expecting to have normal test levels after it but am more interested in my sperm count as well as volume and motility of the sperm. All I need is one swimmer:-)
Hopefully my journey can help somebody going through the same thing. If it works and my labs come back good then this can help somebody else. If it doesn't then at least I know I tried everything and gave it my best shot.
This is what my plan is so far: I am going to switch to prop the last two wks of my cycle to begging PCT immediately. I am also going to continue my HCG up to the last injection of prop. I am unsure if HCG will be wise to carry it into PCT so that is still undecided.
Clomid 300/150/100/100/100/100 6wk minimum possibly longer depending on labs
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20/20/20
Aromasin 12.5mg eod for 2wks
I will post labs mid PCT and after PCT to keep track of progress. Alright fellas 4 wks til the PCT of my life!!

Maybe I missed it in your post, but how long have you been trying, without success, to conceive? I only ask because I get the feeling you think you have no chance of conceiving while on TRT, which is just simply not true. A close family friend of mine had an accidental child that is now the pride of his life due to his thinking he didn't have any swimmers. He had been blasting and cruising for 2 years at that point and was cruising at 400mg of test when the kid would have been conceived. This was about 7 years ago, and at the time I had no idea he was using, I was slightly naive about enhancement. It only came up recently when I talked with him about some AAS side effects. I know this isnt exactly what you asked for, but like you said you only need one, my suggestion is (only because you didnt mention how long you have been trying) to just keep trying ( or start trying!), the practice sure isn't torture!
We were trying right when I was diagnosed with hypogonadism. I had my sperm analyzed back then and my count was next to nothing and them fuckers were swimming like they were in a hot tub after drinking a bottle of tequila! Only thing that bothered me about it was my dr had me tested after I had been on TRT. I know TRT will slow ur sperm down and also decrease volume. We haven't tried at all since then so I'm thinking with a massive PCT and some proper planning I can sneak a soldier in there. By planning I mean timing her ovulation and taking temperatures and all that shit. I've heard my wife and her sisters talk about that stuff but I always normally left the room at that point. So this is truly a learning process
My uncle n aunt tried for years. They adopted after 8yrs and then when the adopted twins were 8 a lil miracle popped up. Good things happen!! There's always a way!
zewiI'm going to bed but I will wright something up for you p: I got your back brother ill post it in depth for you tomorrow. I was in youe boat I have 3 kids now. I got you brother
Awesome brother I wanted to put this out in the open in hopes of getting the best n brightest to post in the thread. This would not only help me but could help any brother who might stumble across this thread.
My bud had similar issues......dont have all the details, but after so many failed attempts one got through. He's a proud father to a beautiful little girl. There's always hope man! Ill be praying for you as well. Fatherhood is a true blessing.
Thank you for the kind words! That sure did give me some hope
Look into toremifen. I'm thinking of using it in my next pct. It is supposed to blow nolva out of the water as far as getting your natty t back.
I will thanks bro!
Good luck my friend.. I'll say a prayer for you bro!
Thank u homeboy! Either way I am going to be content with whatever happens.
