Pct or not
ad
Hello there
I am 34 year old and already on trt. My test levels was half of average. I taking androgen 50 mg a day. I want to do the beginner cycle of 500 mg a week test cyp. My question is -do I have to buy Pct pills and use them?or just take my gel without pct?
Thank
Jorg

I would suggest a good trt endo would probably advise cycling off about once a year for a spell, which is where a frm of pct could help normalise parts of your axis somewhat
TRT is for life. Something in your axis is shot so there is no hope for recovering your hpta. I have not heard of any docs recommending to go off of trt for a spell.
I know yeah but there is more to the system than just test, as you know. Suggesting break annually os not to suggest you stop trt. Not the same thing and more to consider the cumulative effects or contagion effects from downstream or pos/neg feedback effects or crossover to other areas like thyroid etc.
Many docs will have many different approaches to such things.
Coming off trt to reset other aspects of the system is a smart move.
Doctors like Scally recommend an annual off-time
Prostate is another thing i think if, i remember correctly, that they would recommend a break for
I am on gel. There is no need for taking break
Gotchya, very good. Do you find it effective?
No need for pct after a blast but definitely bloods to monitor rebound/post cycle effects if any
X2....I have been on a testosterone therapy due to crashed test from opioid abuse. It is a temporary therapy to raise levels back up & to get your body reproducing naturally, but that’s all together different from TRT.
If you are on TRT... you will not be doing a PCT. You just go back on your gel...
You will need to monitor your blood and you will need an AI.
hi jorg, if I may ask, any specific reason you ended up with low test?
Long term use of antidepressants
I have no other explanation
Yup that will do it... mine was from opioids
thanks! honestly did not know anti depressants had that effect. goodluck on your cycle research
Looks like you’ve run a cycle?

If your goal is to get lean I would do that first as AAS won’t provide enough of a boost to warrant usage in my opinion, better to get your body in good condition then pack on mass with them.
Thank for answer
Once you are on TRT that is it. No point in running PCT cause you have nothing to recover. How long have you been on TRT for? TRT may work just fine for you. Don't want to be jumping right into a cycle if just starting out. Have you nailed down diet and training before considering a cycle?
I am on trt just over a year. I want to do cutting cycle. I have good nutrition and training. Just doing research now and plan cycle for next year.
