PCT Start Time & Ester Clearance

ad

so must of us know the orthodox pct starting time of Test E is 15 days after last injection, 16 for Test C. but from all the studies and threads ive read about ester clearance time of the enanthate ester or cypionate ester at dosages at or above 500mg / week it seems to be the general consensus that it takes aprox. 21 days for the esters to fully clear. so my question is, is there a certain reason why most start pct at day 15? does it take that 1st week of pct to build up the concentration of ancillery drugs to peak levels so they are working at full potential by day 21? why not start pct at day 21 once esters have fully cleared? any personal experience or theories are welcome. thankyou

if you wait to long you will crash and we want to find the middle ground where test isn't at extremely high levels but also its not tanked yet and try to jump start our own systems while we have a lil test to run on in the beginning

Your body only stops producing test because it recognises it already has more than it needs(above the natural line). but at around day 15 your test level brought on by the Test E would be around that natural level, and this is when your body would decide it OK to start producing test again.

So rather than waiting till your test is rock bottom, your natural test is open to be resurrected at around day 15.

WARNING --- this is just my theory not fact.

my understanding is that you dont want them to fully clear because then you'll have next to no test in your system - after last shot levels steadily decline to nothing because your natty test is shut down and theres no more exogenous test being pumped in. so, the reason for beginning pct 14 days after last pin instead of 21 is because around then the levels of test in your system are far closer to natural levels. better to begin pct at natty test levels then at rock bottom levels
