TRT: Before and After? How do you feel now? How long does it take to feel the benefits?
ad
As the title says, how do you guys feel now on TRT as opposed to before you were on it? In what ways has it changed your life?
Just started self-admin @ 250 Test-E a week. On day#8 now. I'm hoping for libido, erectile, sleep, memory, mood and fat loss benefits. Have confirmed low T (~260 ng/dl). 38 years old. Plan to adjust the dose down to a minimum level where I feel benefit (100-200mg/week). Got a bit excited to start. Been almost 10 years with low T. Really want to feel something!!!

ManimalKingOrganic grass fed bovine adrenal support supplement. $6.99
Maca root $9.99
Liv 52 $20
Tudca $50
Magnesium $8.99
Alot of people with low t is because their adrenals are fucked up from the food they eat/dont eat and lifestyle issues.
Even without low t, I recommend an adrenal supplement to all men.
Maca in the stack for libido and ancedotal anti estro effects. Very limited though. As limited at b6 for prolactin issues. But helps.
Liv 52 and low dose tudca for the liver health and some healthy fats for the heart fish oil is cool but food sources are better. And magnesium for my blood pressure.
Maintaing proper organ health is always beneficial on a hormonal level.
Thanks MK. Will look into.
ManimalKingAmazon has adrenal supps cheap.
ManimalKing100-200mg a cyp is common trt dose... 250mg is kinda pushing it.
No hcg? Any AI? Consult a doctor first?
Even if youre hell bent on keeping your doc out of this you will still need to run regular blood work on yourself.
But to answer you I feel amazing on trt, i was put on due to a testicular tumor in my late 20s ever used roids before trt and I really dont like most of them. But a trt dose of test gives me no sides and i love the mood enhancement and quality of life aspect and my doc is very knowledgeable I trust him but alot of docs are ignorant about trt patient needs.
Even on trt you dont want to go damaging your system using alot of roids you still need positive feedback and keep your adrenals healthy. I recommend adrenal support supplements and liver cleaners for life and donating blood at least every other month.
I still think you should bring your doc in on it though. Not as simple as you think my man.
bigmurphIf you don't mind me asking do you have low t from steriod use in the past or at 38 your t levels are just low
Sorry bro. Getting used to the format of this board. My low T was from propecia/proscar use in my late 20's. Only did a short 4 week cycle when I was 22. Barely did anything. I was completely normally sexually right until my ~3rd month of propecia, then everything slowly declined....
I started TRT a few years ago, Doctor had me at 150mg of T. Cyp every other week.
I knew it was a low dose and not frequent enough but I was tested really low at around 150 (can't remember what free test was). Way too many years of long 1-AD cycles mixed with occasional real cycles probably caused that.
The effects are very minor but it does "normalize" me. It puts me back to how I made gains in my 20's as a natural lifter. I used androgens from 29-mid 30's'.
In summer I get extra test and do a 6 week cycle working up to 300mg weekly. At that level I see excellent gains every week. By excellent I mean a little bigger, leaner and stronger each week, not crazy gains like a bodybuilder but perfect for me.
But I make sure to prep in spring by doing a 12-16 week cutting phase to get rid of extra fat so the gains look more pronounced.
I only get tested once in a while and haven't had a problem with that. If I was asked I would probably just skip the lab and at my next appointment just say I totally forgot. It would buy time to lower the dose.
But 150 bi-weekly has a very very subtle effect.
