Year and 1/2 on T now...my wife and I love it...here is what she said.

[JasonMichael]

I'm 45. It's been a year and a half now since I started my T. Some people say you crash after a year, but I have not experienced this at all. In fact, I feel I keep feeling the benefits more and more over time. I hope it stays that way.

Anyway, here is what my wife said about me since I started when I asked her what is different, what has changed, etc....

1. The sex is incredible. (Ha! This was the first thing she said when I asked her what is different. *Puffs chest* but seriously, oh lord the sex is good. Just wow!

2. I am calmer, less stressed, yet more assertive. (I am an introvert, but I also own a business, which is very stressful at times. So, it has helped me be more confident and assertive with people, which I have always wanted...my income has skyrocketed as well. I'm making more money than I ever have. Sorry, not bragging, just may be a good side effect?)

3. My d**k is bigger. (I'm not sure what to make of this. Is this possible? I didn't exactly to a before and after measurement. I guess I will take her word for it as she has commented several times about it.maybe it's the confidence, maybe more engorged?)

I don't want to come across as a douche in this post. I wanted to see if anyone has had similar results or experiences like this. I would love to hear them.

You know, I have that sometimes, but I have found that supplementing a good, high quality magnesium has worked wonders.

When do you take magnesium? How much? Thinking of including that

Congrats. Share your protocol and lab numbers for T, Estradiol, SHBG etc. If you don't mind. We are gluttons for that kind of stuff here.

I agree with all points. I am on for three years and no crash. I also have a wife that loves the improved sex drive. Fortunately, she also has a high drive. Also feel calmer, but what I reall,y notice is more outgoing nature. I could always fake tha, but now it feels so much more natural. The penis size is also true. My wife is the one that brought it up. I also take daily Cialis so maybe better blood flow is the reason. After over 30 years, it is still a great feeling to have your wife rave about that.

I don’t think you are imagining. Good post.

400mg a day 200 morning and 200 at dinner. I take magnisum glycinate

200 per week once a week. in the leg or shoulder. I used to split the dose, but didn't notice any difference after a while. So, why jab myself 2x a week.

 

[Systemlord]

Total T 703, free T 23 and SHBG 10, 200mg once weekly, definitely not the norm around here.

Awesome to hear about positive outcomes, it gives other hope.

I've been doing some reading on the T/E ratio "sweet spot" here and on other boards, that men on TRT are reporting that a ratio of T to E of between 15:1 - 18:1 is where guys seem to be saying that they are at their very best...even if their TT isn't necessarily at 1100 and above.

Your T/E ratio JasonMichael (if my math is correct) is right there at: 15.52:1 (T 703/E 45.3).

So TRT has had a positive impact on your erectile function? Did you have ED before starting TRT?

 

[JasonMichael]

yes, I had problems before and after I started TRT. I went through a period of ED...BUT...I boiled it down to extreme stress. I own a business and I find the more stressed I become, the less effective I am in the bedroom. So, I try to manage my stress as much as possible. But, sometimes it's not possible and I suffer. That tells me when I need to pull back and relax more. Vacations REALLY help. My wife and I took a weekend getaway and ended up having sex 3 times a day! How? I had not distractions. I turned my phone off. I smoked a cigar, had some rum. It was off to the races I tell ya.

Question about the post above regarding T/E ratio sweet spot of 15:1 to 18:1. I am assuming you are talking about a general E2 level, not on the sensitive test? Most guys on the sensitive E2 test will be 20-30, so with a TT level of say 800 -900, that is a ratio more like 30:1.

Am I missing something?

Yes, I was referring to the general E2 test levels. Where I live, the standard test for E2 is the only one available currently.

The ratio is a topic of some debate, but it works for me as sort of a handrail if nothing else. 17-22 is the range I use based on nothing scientific. I just take notes about how I have been feeling before I get my labs, then after I get the results, do the calculation and notice that for me at least, there is a correlation.

I believe most of us are actually using the sensitive E2 test.

Also, I'm not sure that most guys with levels around 900 would have E2 in the 20-30 range...

What the fuck, shbg 10 and 200mg once weekly yet have great libido and erection.

This is what I dont get, so many people, including myself, with low shbg, have huge problems with ED on TRT.

And then we have people like this, low shbg, using large amounts of testosterone once weekly, ending up with great libido.

So it must be something we are all missing here, regarding low shbg, no?
