    OK 6 months update. Wow.... The water weight I gained never went away. I have stayed the same weight for the entire time. I think I gradually lost the water, and put on muscle. But I haven't had a dexa scan or anything to confirm that. I am on the same protocol, and my last bloodwork had my T at...

    OK, Not sure if I should continue this thread, or start a new one. 2 weeks in, and apart from that one day where my run training was phenomenal, pretty much feel the same. One thing that has changed, is my weight. I have jumped up 6lbs of water weight, almost overnight. On the bike and run days...

    I'm right there with you. I've always been a proponent of less is more. So where Im at now, is my 5th day in, doing daily injections of 7.5 units or 15mg daily. I don't mind doing the daily injections but wont say I will feel that way a year from now. Right now there is some novelty in it. I...

    Thanks guys for all the input. As I had mentioned, I had an appointment on Friday with my Dr. He adjusted my rate by half, at my request. I told him I wanted to start smaller, and titrate up if necessary after my first bloodwork. He agreed to this, although he indicated that at my endogenous...

    Also, I am new to injections. I have read that the needles that I got from the pharmacy (31g .5cc x 1/2") are pretty small. The problem I am having is drawing the test into the syringe, seems like it is taking a looooong time for a little. I know a smaller number is larger needle size, but not...

    I am hopeful. Just would like to be able to sleep, and recover better, and get rid of some of the lethargy that had plagued me increasingly over the past 3-4 years. My libido has been steadily decreasing in the same timeline. I should have done testing sooner. After being encouraged by some...

    I believe the same thing! I have a few friends who said the same thing, and similarly had low T after years of training. They are the ones who also suggested getting checked out, as both of them did, and get things back on track. They both are being treated and feel great, "better than I had in...

    I don't want to put my doctor on blast just yet. I'm just doing research to see if what I am being prescribed is adequate, which it seems from what I am hearing, to be a bit high. I have another appointment scheduled for Friday, and I am going to discuss this with him. Until then, I have dropped...

    Awesome info. I am absolutely in this to feel better, and more my “old” younger self, if that makes sense. I was recovering, and sleeping, and performing better as recently as 3 years ago, and I’ve been on a steady decline for about that long. I plan on keeping notes daily, incorporating them...
