HPTA shutdown

How long does it take for your HPTA to be shutdown? I want to know this because i had to stop my prop only cycle of 75mg/day after only 3 injects. Is it necessary to do PCT after this, or is my HPTA still not shutdown? Thanks

So, I am correct in assuming that you only were on for 3 days?

If it was only 3 days you should be fine. It takes 2-3 weeks for the body to fully react and shut down your testosterone production. However, if you feel shutdown then it couldn't hurt to run a small clomid/nolvadex pct for 14 days.

varies.

Quite Unlikely that you will need full PCT though a little clomid or aromatase inhibitor might be a good idea so that there is not a T:E ratio issue when your blood levels drop. Even short spikes can cause gyno flares.

Agreed, I would recommend a mini PCT to be safe.
