I have mentioned this to her and her response has been a resounding "No".

I quit cold turkey after being on TRT for 5 years. My pre TRT total T was as low as 180. While I was on TRT my number was around mid 700’s to just over 1000. I am now 5 years off of TRT and my recent bloodwork showed my total T to be 740. what do I attribute this to? Lifestyle changes and...

I developed sleep issues about 6 months in on TRT. battled with it for nearly 5 years, trying all sorts of things and finally gave up. My issue was that I would wake up at night and not be able to fall back asleep. I quit cold turkey nearly 2 years ago and my sleep quickly returned to normal.

No. In fact one thing that is interesting is that I now have erections that go on all night long even though I’ve been off TRT for going on 2 years now. I basically have morning wood throughout the night. My libido is not the same though

If you stop. Don't be afraid to go cold turkey. Its not that bad.

Ressurrecting an older thread I started over a year ago. Like my original post says I was on TRT for nearly 4 years and had all sorts of problems. The details are laid out in the previously posts and links. I went off TRT in November 2019, so it has been almost 2 years. My BP, HCT, HR all...

How's the sleep on the new protocol?

resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has any new insights on dealing with sleep issues while on TRT. I was on TRT for nearly 5 years and quit cold Turkey 14 months ago because I could never get my sleep issues under control. I had tried just about everything out there, and eventually, the...

Good luck- you are awfully young to have BPH symptoms already. This doesn't usually happen until you are in your 50's. If it is prostate enlargement, there are things you can do for that. One thing to consider is a Prostate Artery Embolism procedure- where the doc deposits beads into the...

yes that was checked, came back normal although there was room for it to be optimized (high reverse T3). was put on med but did not like it.

I tried just about every protocol out there. My last ditch effort was low dosing. my fatigue issues did not totally go away. I am realizing that diet also is an issue. While I do eat fairly healthy, I am finding that eating a low carb diet, really watching my sugar intake, and also...

I would wake up at night and not be able to get back to sleep. At times I would also feel my heart pounding. This poor sleep made me very fatigued. All of this went away almost immediately once I stopped TRT.

I tried low dose protocols at the very end, but never daily injections. It's possible by then my body was just messed up and nothing was going to work. I could consider starting up with that and see how I do, but don't know if I want to go there.

I was on injectables for almost 5 years and finally gave it up 14 months ago due to poor sleep that I could never correct. Since going off TRT my sleep has normalized, but I do miss the benefits I had while on TRT. Has anyone had any sleep issues while on creams/gels? I was thinking maybe...

I was on TRT for almost 5 years. I suffered sleep issues for around 4 of those 5. I tried everything to fix it. In the end the only thing that worked was quitting TRT.
