Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)
HSA/FSA Eligible ✓
Crashed after your cycle? We fix that. Coming off testosterone without a plan leaves you feeling like garbage for months. Low energy, dead libido, mood swings, muscle loss. Your body forgot how to make its own testosterone. Post-cycle therapy (PCT) restarts the signal and gets you back to baseline faster.
Physician-supervised recovery. Real protocols based on your labs, not bro-science forum advice.
Minimize the crash. SERMs restart natural production. hCG primes the testicles. Aromatase inhibitors keep estrogen in check while your body catches up.
Protocol based on YOUR cycle. Not generic. We build your PCT around what you took, how long you took it, and how suppressed you are.

Restart what got shut down
Your body forgot how to make testosterone. We’ll remind you.
When you take exogenous testosterone, your brain stops sending the signal. LH and FSH drop to near zero. Your testicles go dormant. Stop the testosterone, and nothing happens. Your body doesn’t just bounce back. It needs help reestablishing the hormonal axis. That’s what post-cycle therapy does.
SERMs kick your pituitary back on
Enclomiphene or clomiphene blocks estrogen receptors in your hypothalamus and pituitary. Your brain thinks estrogen is low and responds by cranking up LH and FSH. Those hormones signal your testicles to start producing testosterone again. It’s the restart switch for your entire system.
hCG wakes up what’s been dormant
Testicles that have been shut down for months may not respond immediately, even with SERM therapy. hCG mimics LH directly, priming your testicles to produce testosterone while your pituitary signaling comes back online. It bridges the gap between shutdown and full recovery.
Simple. Fast. No runaround.

What PCT does for your recovery
Specific outcomes. Realistic timelines. Based on what patients report.
Natural production restarts
Your pituitary starts sending LH and FSH again. Your testicles respond. Testosterone levels begin to rise from the crash baseline. Most men see meaningful increases within 2-4 weeks of starting PCT.
The crash gets shorter
Without PCT, recovery can take 6-12 months of feeling terrible. With proper protocols, most men feel significantly better within 4-8 weeks. The low-energy, no-libido, depression phase gets compressed.
Muscle preservation
The faster your testosterone returns, the less muscle you lose during transition. Post-cycle therapy, combined with continued training and nutrition, helps you maintain what you’ve built.
Mood stabilizes
Crashed testosterone means a crashed mood. Irritability, depression, zero motivation. As levels recover, these symptoms improve. Most men notice mood lifting within 3-4 weeks.
Libido returns
One of the first things to crash, one of the last to fully recover. PCT accelerates the timeline. Most men notice libido improving as testosterone stabilizes, typically within 4 to 6 weeks.
Provider support throughout
Recovery doesn’t always go smoothly. Questions come up. Symptoms linger. Unlimited consultations mean you can check in anytime. Lab confirmation available if you want objective proof it’s working.
Real patients. Real Results.

FAQ
PCT questions answered
The questions most men ask before starting.
What is post-cycle therapy, and why do I need it?
Post-cycle therapy (PCT) helps restart your body’s natural testosterone production after coming off TRT or anabolic steroids. When you take exogenous testosterone, your body’s natural production shuts down through negative feedback. Simply stopping doesn’t automatically restart production. Your body needs help reestablishing the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. Post-cycle therapy uses medications such as SERMs (enclomiphene, clomiphene) to stimulate natural production and minimize symptoms during the transition.
How long does post-cycle therapy take?
Post-cycle therapy protocols typically run 4-8 weeks, though recovery times vary based on how long you were on TRT, your dosages, your age, and your body’s natural recovery capacity. Some men recover within 4-6 weeks, while others need longer protocols. Lab testing is available during PCT to monitor progress and guide adjustments if desired. Complete hormonal recovery may take several months even after PCT medications are stopped.
What medications are used in PCT?
Common post-cycle therapy medications include SERMs such as enclomiphene or clomiphene citrate, which stimulate natural testosterone production by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary. Aromatase inhibitors may be used temporarily to manage estrogen levels. hCG is used in PCT to prime the testicles alongside SERM therapy. Supportive supplements may include vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium. Your physician creates a customized protocol based on your specific situation.
Will I lose my gains after stopping TRT?
Some loss of muscle mass and strength may occur when transitioning off TRT, but proper post-cycle therapy, training, and nutrition can minimize these losses. The degree depends on how much of your gains were due to optimized testosterone versus training and nutrition. Most men maintain significant improvements, especially with continued resistance training and adequate protein. Strength may decrease somewhat, but typically stabilizes above the pre-TRT baseline.
Can I stay off TRT permanently after PCT?
Success depends on what caused your low testosterone in the first place. If you had secondary hypogonadism that was temporary or reversible, you may maintain adequate natural production after post-cycle therapy. If you have primary hypogonadism or age-related permanent decline, natural levels may return to pre-treatment baseline, and symptoms may return. Many men eventually return to TRT because their underlying condition persists, but PCT allows a trial period off treatment.
How do I know if my post-cycle therapy is working?
Most men gauge recovery by symptoms such as improved energy, mood, libido, and overall well-being. These typically begin improving within 2-4 weeks as natural production ramps up. If you want objective confirmation, follow-up labs are available for purchase to check testosterone, LH, and FSH levels. Free consultations are included if you have questions or concerns during recovery.
What symptoms should I expect during post-cycle therapy?
Temporary symptoms during PCT may include fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, decreased motivation, and some loss of strength or muscle fullness. These occur because your testosterone is transitioning from optimized to natural production. Symptoms are usually most noticeable in the first 2-3 weeks and improve as natural production ramps up. Proper PCT protocols minimize severity and duration.
Can I do post-cycle therapy on my own without medical supervision?
While it’s possible to obtain PCT medications independently, medical supervision significantly improves outcomes and safety. Physicians can monitor hormonal recovery through optional lab testing, adjust protocols based on your symptoms and response, and manage side effects. Self-directed PCT often results in suboptimal protocols and inadequate monitoring. Professional guidance optimizes your chances of successful recovery.
What’s the difference between post-cycle therapy and just using hCG?
hCG alone can help prime testicles, but doesn’t directly restart your pituitary signaling. Full PCT combines SERMs to restart LH/FSH production from your pituitary with high-dose hCG to wake up dormant testicles faster. hCG without SERM support may provide temporary testosterone, but it doesn’t fully restore your hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. Complete recovery usually requires both approaches working together.
How soon after stopping TRT should I start PCT?
Timing depends on what testosterone you were using. Short esters (propionate) clear quickly, so PCT can start within days. Long esters (cypionate, enanthate) take 2-3 weeks to clear. Starting PCT too early wastes medication while exogenous testosterone is still suppressing your system. Starting too late extends the crash period unnecessarily. Your provider will calculate optimal timing based on your specific protocol.
Do you help people coming off steroids, not just TRT?
Yes. We provide post-cycle therapy for men coming off any form of exogenous testosterone or anabolic steroids. No judgment about what you took or why. Our job is to help you recover safely, not lecture you about your choices. Same physician oversight, same protocol customization, same support throughout.
