Stopping Cycle Early. PCT Advice Needed

A little background about me. I’m 33 and have suffered from low T for years now, with my biggest issue being the ED that I have because of this. I have been documenting my journey here for anyone interested → 31 Y/O Ngiapmac's Journey to Solving Low T. My endo refuses to prescribe me TRT as she says that my T levels are well within range. As a result, I recently decided to self prescribe TRT, starting with a blast of Test E and Masteron E. My plan was to dose Test E at 125mg twice a week and Masteron E at 200mg twice a week, with 250iu HCG EOD and 0.25mg Arimidex twice a week. I played around with these dosages a little bit based on how my body felt. For example, I felt like I was crashing my E2 with this AI dose, so I took a break from it for a few days. I could also tell that my E2 was low because I was barely able to achieve an erection even with Cialis and Viagra. My penis and testicles were also very tight at times. At this point I would rather just go back to where I was before I started all of this, as I was still able to achieve an erection with the use of Cialis and Viagra and my libido felt somewhat normal.

I started this cycle of July 19th and here is what I dosed and when:

As you can see, I’ve stopped taking the Masteron E and have slowly lowered the dose of Test E to the point that I’m only doing 100mg twice a week now. I’m also still taking 50mg of Proviron most days, in hopes that it would help with libido and erections, but it hasn’t, so I plan on stopping this as well. With all of that being said, what is my best course of action now?

Should I stop everything and start KSman’s restart protocol? Or should I go right to the second stage of taking the Nolvadex since I was taking the HCG throughout this cycle? My only worry is that when I reconstituted the HCG the bacteriostatic water shot out of the syringe and right onto the HCG, possibly ruining it? My testicles don’t seem any smaller so my guess is that it’s still working.

I also have two bottles of Magnum Thrust and a tub of DAA that I plan on running during PCT. When would be the best time to start these?

Sorry for the long read guys, but thank you in advance for any help and advice that you have…I appreciate it!

Damn man you skipped TRT altogether and went straight to a blast!!! Lol I think if you would have left the Mast and other stuff out you would’ve been a little better off. Straight test @250mg / wk by itself is a high dose TRT.

Some others with more experience may be able to help you walk back down the ladder, but don’t be surprised if your levels don’t return to what they were before.

My advice…be straight with the dr and let her help you back to stable. When it’s all said and done, your diminished levels (if they don’t bounce back) may have you low enough that she feels more comfortable putting you on a reasonable TRT.

one injection of 250 test e or c per week is all you need to get normal. do it for 3 months and go get some blood work to see where you are and what adjustments need to be made. don’t take anything else. the more stuff you put into your body the more you are doing to unbalance your hormone production in other areas.

a 47 yr old male that i train with had the same issues. took 500 of test e for 8 wks to get back on track. hadn’t had an erection for 8 mo. prior to that. now, his wife is loving it and tells him to stay on.

I actually was straight about it with my endo and her advice was to just taper off over the course of a couple months and things should go back to normal. Clearly she has absolutely no idea what she is talking about! So frustrating

Thanks for the feedback. I’m actually hoping to get off of everything and be back to where I was before I started all of this, as I was still able to achieve an erection with the help of cialis and viagra.

Shouldn’t Test E or C be done in more frequent doses? I would be concerned that my levels would peak and valley too much…

Been on TRT for 5 yrs. 250 injection once a week is fine. I blast and cruise from time to time, but 250 is the standard for me. Half life is 5-7 days anyway.

Just to give you an idea…injected 250 - waited two weeks and the day before my next injection I had blood drawn. Test levels were at 450. Later on took blood 3 days after an injection and test levels were at 1040. Going once a week I’m gonna guess you’ll dip to 700-800ish before injecting again. No roller coaster ever felt even when injecting once every two weeks either.

Interesting! I appreciate the real-life testimonial brah, thank you.
