I actually only cycle for 10 to 12 weeks then take 16 to 18 weeks off before another cycle and I seem to recover well Kornfed. I want to try and retain as much of my natural t production as possible. I'm kind of leery about going on TRT when I dont think I need it yet.The reason I was using the HCG was to keep my nuts from shrinking and to make the whole recovery thing quicker. It didnt work out for me but at my age I imagine TRT isnt far around the bend for me. What do you do, go to your doctor and tell him your T levels are low? My doctor is from the 19th century and probably doesnt know what TRT is anyway.
