Quitting TRT. Do I need PCT?

Hello,
I'm a 25yr old guy suffering from “chronic fatique syndrome”, being sick all the time etc; this is already going on for years. The last year I visited a whole bunch of doctors and one of them put me on TRT about a half year ago. I’m using a special type of gel, no AI, and also (unfortunately) no hCG. However, recently I found out that my issues are related to a bunch of immunity problems that will take a long time to resolve (months or years); I won’t get into the details here.

Long story short: I want to quit the TRT immediately so that my HPTA can recover. My original Testosterone baseline was not that bad to begin with so I want to restore it and possibly improve it when the underlying issues are resolved. I am experiencing a mild form of testicular athrophy, it is noticeable but not catastrophic.

My question: Do I need to follow any sort of PCT/Medication regime to improve my recovery or will it heal on it’s own in a timely manner?

Testresults before TRT:
LH: 3.0 (1.7-8.6)
FSH: 2.0 (1.5-12.4)
E2: 24.7 (7.63 - 42.59)
TT: 530 (218-905)
FAI: 40.8 (14.8-95.0)
SHGB: 45 (13-71)
Androstanediolglucor.: 648 (100 - 2360)

Testresults after 3 months (blood drawn 2 hours after applying gel, am measurement)
LH: 1.6 (1.7 - 8.6)
FSH: 1.7 (1.5-12.4)
E2: 26.60 (7.63 - 42.59)
TT: 1017 (218-905)
FAI: 67.8 (14.8-95.0)
SHGB: 52 (13-71)
Androstanediolglucor.: 873 (100 - 2360)

I lowered the dosage after this.
Testresults after 4-5 months (blood drawn next morning WITHOUT applying the gel first, am measurement)
LH: 1.7 (1.7-8.6)
FSH: 2.0 (1.5-12.4)
E2: 20.20 (7.63-42.59
TT: 528 (218-905)
FAI: 42.6 (14.8-95.0)
SHGB: 43
Androstanediolglucor.: 1000 (100 - 2360)

After this last bloodtest I increased the dosage, I am now using an amount between the first and second dosage. Can I please get some advice on this because I really don’t know what do at this point. It seems that I am not completely shut down so I don’t want the test to suppress me even further. Will it take me a long time to recover to my original baseline? Will it even return to baseline or did I damage my HPTA with 6 months non-stop therapeutic usage of testosterone? Can PCT help or will it cause even more problems?

I already quit using the gel for two days, I’m doing a baseline blood test on Monday to see where I am. If it is suggested that I use PCT then I will probably go back on the gel and try to find a doctor that can prescribe me the required medication.
Thanks!

PS: how do I type a “newline”/enter here? I had to type the whole thing in word and then copy it because I couldn’t find out how to start a new line in this forum.. :)
