I saw that it’s not safe and wonder if I desensitized my balls. I came off and didn’t come back too good and 6 months later got back on. Now I’m looking to get off permanently and wonder what’s a safe oct protocol.
Do you have any bloodwork indicating it was due to primary or secondary hypogonadism that you did not recover very well?
If I had to go off and had not been using hCG I would personally do something like;
Last test inject and immediately start 1000-1500 iu hCG eod for 3 to 4 weeks, then followed by 6-8 weeks of 25 mg clomiphene and draw blood for at bare minimum LH and Total Testosterone. If those values are well within range stop clomid and draw blood again after 4 weeks to see how it is holding up without the stimulus of clomiphene.
If testosterone is low but LH is ok/high, your testes are not responding to the LH the pituitary aka primary hypogonadism -> another couple weeks of high dose hCG.
If testosterone and LH are both low, your pituitary is not responding to low test environment aka secondary hypogonadism -> extend clomiphene couple weeks and try again.
