Ask me anything. I just went through TRT and came out working normal again.

Where life takes me.
So as it says, I went through a just over 3 month of HRT after discovering thanks to my over drinking I had lower Test than I should. As a result my doc was giving me 500mg of Test-C a week for the first month, and 250 for the following month and half and then a finally 3 weeks of 50mg of Clomi a day and now my levels are a bit high for average, but I made a full recovery.
 
Really ? I never heard of anyone getting that type of hrt. Why would he suppress your levels further, then boost them back to baseline ? That was a cycle. not hrt. trt is most often for life.
 
I'm willing to bet that your levels are just still high from clomid.

how long have you been off?
 
Sorry for the late reply I had to fly for a funeral, and just got back two days ago.

To get the body into a cycle of changing for a condition more conductive to Test production naturally. I am insulin resistant, so I had to have extra help to get my body to get back on track. Alcohol is not something to be treated casually like I was.

My levels are a bit higher now in the 600 range compared to the 250 range beforehand. My energy levels have skyrocketed and my ability to stay going in the gym is a lot better now. I was lifting a 5 day split with 3 heavy days and 2 light days before all of this. I adapted the GVT to my program and have started longer cardio sessions on my 2 light days instead.

I have been off the Clomi for just over three weeks now, I think. The exact date is in my log at the gym.
 
I'd guess if you have a healthy HTPA which was temporarily suppressed by drinking you should recover sooner or later.
 
Typically if there is a cause for the low T, such as in your case it most likely would have restored afte solving the problem, alcohol consumption.

Would have been much better off at staying clean, getting into a healthy lifestyle and having your test checked again, if all was not up to scrath then a typicall PCT should have been tried and a follow up test. If still nothing then I would look into TRT, it's for life.

500mg Test per week is a cycle, hell even 250mg! 250mg per week had me at the 2200ng/dl by week 6 and is well above the typical 1000ng/dl top of the range, plenty to pack on some solid muscle.

Being off the clomid for three weeks I reccomend getting another blood test to see where you are at soon, just to double check where things are :)

I have been sober for a year now. I had been sober for about 5 months before my first blood work was done. I had blood drawn last week.

Ever heard of Triptorelin being used to restore HPTA function?

I have, supposedly it works when the pituitary isn't responding to signals from the hypothalamus and producing LH and FSH that control the testes.

Now this is all conjecture on my part, but if you did a really long cycle and screwed up the HPTA, you could first use hcg to restore your testes (careful with the doses not to cause desensitization ), stop it, use triptorelin to kickstart your pituitary, nolvadex to make the pituitary more sensitive to gnrh, clomid to make the hypothalamus more likely to secrete gnrh (acts as an antiestrogen there) and maybe some aromasin to keep overall e2 levels normal. Of course this would need a lot of scientific work to perfect the timings and doses.

And here's a study of it actually working (just the triptorelin): http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(10)00503-0/abstract
