This is somewhat related to a question that guys sometimes ask: Is this for life?

The answer is, if you want it to be, yes. If you don't want it to be, no.

We've had men join the program and then hop off via their own choice after meeting a personal goal or pause their treatment with our assistance to conceive a child. There is generally no lasting side effects for most men on therapeutic levels of Testosterone.

When on TRT your natural spermatic production and self production of Testosterone drop, because the body is lazy. If it doesn't have to do something, it won't. If you wanted to stop TRT, and had to quit cold turkey, there's studies that show normal spermatic production & Testosterone production levels resume their pre-TRT state after 6 months to a year. For an assisted pause or stop of TRT, like we do with our patients & always advise, we do something called PCT or post cycle therapy. With that, it tends to take 3 to 6 weeks for the average man to recover to his previous levels (in general).

If you're a candidate for TRT, that means your natural T is already low. You would have a much higher quality of life on TRT than off it, and knowing that you can return to previous levels means there's not many reasons to hold off starting even if you know you might want to stop one day.

For someone like yourself, you would not be able to stockpile Testosterone itself, as it's a controlled substance. That would equate to a provider over prescribing a controlled substance which is not allowed. However, it could be seen as reasonable to provide a short run regimen of PCT to someone starting TRT in the event they are planning to have an abrupt stop in the future, and to have *that* on hand.
