question from a user
The longer you are on TRT, the harder it is to bounce back from, should you decide to go off, correct?
AlphaMD's Answer
Yes and no. If you were to only take it for a few months, then recovery would be expected to be rapid, typically within a few months. The longest it has ever taken a man to return to their baseline testicular function (what it was at before treatment) after discontinuation of TRT is 12 months according to studies. The average recovery time was between 4-6 months without the assistance of SERMs or hCG. Duration of treatment prior to cessation does not seem to have an effect of recovery time.
