so a week after the last shot of test prop, one would begin PCT?

it depends :)
you want to start your pct once the blood levels have dropped to a normal level such that the test is not overwhelming your body's natural levels.
The half life of the last dose is 3.5 days but the full life is much longer and is cumulative with multiple dosages.
Here is a pct calculator that will let figure out what your blood levels are and when to do pct.

ya for pct you dont wait till it is completely out of your system.. you wait till your levels drop below normal which is most likely going to be around 3 days

Interesting site there...i've never used one of those calculators before but according to that most of the PCT people have been doing was way too early. Not sure I actually agree with it yet.

Looks about right for testc/e. Start PCT ~3 weeks after last shot and use HCG + aromasin in the weeks leading up to it.

I think that site just shows the time it takes for certain steroids to metabolize, IIFC. Too lazy to check. But you're alluding to the right idea. People often jump ship too quickly and go on their "PCT".
Remember that PCT is to be used to support your body's natural plan of action, not to replace it. You WILL recover by yourself unless you're hypogonadal and have a shitload of hormonal problems. Some just take longer than others, and some see nastier side affects (more emotional, depression, acne, poor libido, etc).
For those who aren't the happy-go-lucky-and-recover-from-a-massive-deca-only-cycle-with-no-PCT then it just means you need to pay close attention to your body and go into things with a logical approach. Get your LH and FSH up with some HCG or incorporate it into your cycle to stave shutdown. And then use something proven like Clomiphrene Citrate and taper things off with some Exemestane (Aromasin). Train hard and eat properly during PCT, don't let yourself catch a case of the blues and you should recover okay. There are some exotic drugs out there and new classes of SERMs and whatnot, but don't monkey around too much unless you care to soft dick your girlfriend or wife. Play that game if you're single. Just my two cents. If you're all the way into the dark side then use slin, GH and any other non-steroidal anabolics that you're comfortable with.
