    This makes no sense to just stop cold turkey with no rhyme or reason, no PCT or Clomid/Hcg therapy.

    You need to ask your doctor my questions and why? What his plan is? What is his reasoning?

    Sounds like you are being his personal guinea pig. I would not be to quick to agree to this if it was me.

    Endo's over here are pretty clueless. It's not big business like it is in the States it's carried out through our NHS and there are permanent cutbacks. We don't get HCG prescribed either just test and even then you have to demonstrate some appalling low t numbers.

    Vinny how have you been feeling since coming off?

    I was only taken off TRT because of high heamatocrit the plan by my medical team was to come off TRT untill hematocrit came down to safe ranges i had 8 pints of blood drawn over eight weeks . The plan was to go back on TRT have my blood monitored regulary and have blood drawn if and when needed . My endo decided to see if i could restore my natural test like i say been off TRT since january now so few more months to go before i see my endo again and another blood test .

    ENDOCRINE CLINIC

    Private & confidential
    Mr V

    Dear M– Dob 31.12.66

    Diagnosis:
    Anabolic steroid misuse

    I saw you in the endocrine clinic today. You have been under the care of my endocrine colleagues off and on since 2009 until March last year. The uncontrolled use of anabolic steroids did result in secondary polycythaemia which was recently rectified with repeated venesections and abstinence from testosterone and anabolic steroid injections. The fact that your haemoglobin did not rise any further, and the fact that your gonadotropin levels have only just risen into double figures, confirm that stopping exogenous testosterone excess is effective in eliminating the side-effect of polycythaemia and there is evidence of a potential for physiological recovery by reactivating your own pituitary gonadal axis.

    In order to see the effectiveness of this approach, we need to let at least six months pass and reassess your hormonal profile after that time. The misuse of any anabolic steroids or testosterone in the meantime will jeopardise that natural recovery and will be evident on falling gonadotropin levels.

    I will review you again in six months’ time.

    Yours sincerely

    Dr ANDREAS JOSTEL
