Do Most Men on TRT Do Fine?

I know someone who's been on nebido every 8 week injections for years. He has no problems with ed etc, he doesn't even have the internet.


Do most guys around the world just go on trt and carry on with life as normal. They don't have issues and don't need forums like this? Are the people who participate in online discussions on trt forums like this who have issues on trt in the minority?
 
The overwhelming majority of (new) guys on EM are coming in with or from terrible Drs that do no know what they're doing. After they get self educated and/or with a competent physician they do quite well.
 
I look this community as people who want to learn and always position themselves as having the best treatment available. We learn from each other through mistakes and through success. I personally strive for perfection in everything I do. I never limit myself or put limitations on what I can or can't do. As with anything I read on here and evaluate each post and use it as a data point in my process of deciding my protocol. A good example is the Gene Nitric boosting stack. This has been great for me but I have made some adjustments to it that work best for me. I don't use the Horny Goat Weed, the only prescription is the Cialis and I only use it at night. Also if I use preworkout it replaces the morning or mid day stack...
 
I've never had problems but I do use this forum for self education. My thoughts are this is my life so I'm gonna make sure that I'm the expert on what pertains to me. I've never run into sides, thankfully, and I trust my doc, so I really don't have to worry, but I feel it's always good to be educated. If I were a diabetic, I'd be all over the diabetes board, learning about my condition.
 
I was lucky and found Nelsons YouTube videos early which lead me to his book on amazon. I then came here to read thru all the stickie notes and while doing that I found I really like some of the posters here. Now I visit often to read their posts and help other thru offering my opinion on topics I've learned a little about.

I have been on TRT for almost a year and I am doing fine. NO my numbers aren't where I want them...yet...but I am confident I will get there quicker by being a EM member.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
