PCT help after 3 years of TRT and cycles

Honestly, with how long you’ve had your system shut down, your best bet is likely just “rip the bandaid off”, stop taking everything and see where you land after a few months.
There’s a good chance that you’re going to end up having to go right back to the needle, so just be prepared or that going forward.
Three years of permashutdown isn’t “a round or two of PCT will fix this”. You’re probably going to want to get with an actual HRT specialist after you see how recovery goes, assuming what I suspect to be the case ends up being the result.

So, doing HCG would be pointless in your opinion?

You’re trying to reboot a completely shutdown system, not prevent atrophy on cycle with a mimetic. HcG in and of itself is suppressive, so using it when trying to turn back on is counterproductive.
Kel can probably speak better to this, but iirc it’s only actually useful as a preventative measure, not really a restorative. You’re beyond prevention at this point, and I’d wager a guess that your testicles are probably pretty similar to mine: resembling marbles.

Hmm, I see. What would be the most productive way for me to try and reboot my system? English is not my first language, but if you're referring to testicle size - not very different from when I started to be honest. Like plums lol.

If that’s the case and you haven’t seen much atrophy, I’d definitely say to at least try and just stop taking everything and be done with it. That’s the only way you’re going to know for sure how your system is rebounding from the shutdown. Most of the other shit just drags out the process in an attempt to game the system.
As Broderick Chavez has repeatedly said “if you want to recover from drugs, just stop taking fucking drugs, all of them”.

In my opinion you should talk to a doctor my Trt keeps me on HCG, however the reason I’m on it is because I have low levels, I did some cycles in my 20’s and it actually took a couple of years for a full recovery once I stopped juicing, once we introduce test in our body for long periods it’s hit or miss getting your natural levels normal, just my opinion.
