    Thinking about starting trt

    Ok I see, that makes sense. So in your circumstance you have to be on the very high end if not more to resolve symptoms. Makes me wonder what your T was prior to having your symptoms that led to you taking trt. I'd like to know what mine was before experiencing these symptoms would have had a...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Thanks man I appreciate your honest feedback on your trt usage. Maybe I'm getting this wrong or it could be something to do with your shbg when on trt, it seems like you've only improved your total test by 175ng/dl. I'm just surprised that would be enough to resolve symptoms. Maybe you could...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Just curious as to why NOT to take the pill forms of vitamin b12? I'll look into the other one and see if I can get it. Yeah I do want to check the FT3 and FT4 but doctors here won't unless over 4.0 TSH, however maybe the clinic I went to will. What was your T levels at again pre TRT? How has...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Yeah the only problem with that I recall is the doctors can't prescribe you T from other countries, at least here in Canada. They can however give professional advice. Don't get me wrong its better than nothing but if it doesnt correlate with the doctors protocols your getting the prescription...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Well finding a good doctor for trt has been quite difficult if not impossible. All I can find are two clinics in the Edmonton area that will provide someone like me testosterone. I've only been to the one clinic and they didn't even ask me what kind of symptoms I was experiencing before they...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Yeah I agree with you that some individuals with low normal T levels don't experience libido issues but may have other symptoms.. that makes sense. So I guess I won't let that persuade me out of the therapy. As for time, I understand it is precious but to be impatient and jump into things may...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Its all good, I just try to absorb as much information as possible and try to make the best decisions for myself, ultimately it's up to you and the doctor to find out what works best. See for me it's this right here, I know everyone is different but it makes me feel like I'm getting myself into...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Hey man I appreciate the information. There is no way I'd be able to start on a 120mg dose, the clinic I will be going to will only start me off on 100mg per week they allow me to do it so I can administer it more frequently if I wanted to. I haven't bit the bullet yet I've been stupid busy at...

    Thinking about starting trt

    No I always just took Adderall, I stopped the medication during high-school than just recently started up again because I haven't been able to focus very well over the last few years.. seems to have been getting worse and I believe it's been effecting my duties at work. I guess not the best...

    Thinking about starting trt

    I didn't say much about it because I just started close to 8 months ago, I used to take it when I was a kid. As far as it contributing, maybe.. however I've been dealing with this libido thing for 6 years now. Also I stopped recently for about 6 weeks and started back on it again last week...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Sorry for the late response, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post this information for me. I appreciate the tip about PT-141 as I take 5mg of Adderall daily for ADD. So ill be sure not to take it that day if I try it lol. Don't think I'll be able to get my hands on...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Welp that went as expected, he ended up putting me on cialis 2.5mg daily, he said the lower dose will curb side effects that I was having from it and potentially increase libido being that it's been taken daily. I am skeptical but who knows I'll try it first I guess.

    Thinking about starting trt

    Hey I really appreciate the suggestion on Nastesto I am literally going to speak to my doctor about it in 15 mins lol see what he says. I understand that libido is complex, all I'm looking for is to get some back cuz its tearing the relationship apart especially when you have no desire, and as a...

    Any body have opinions on pt-141 ? It was just suggested to me. It's a peptide, aphrodisiac libido enhancer?

    Thinking about starting trt

    Oh yes I don't doubt that, but desperate times I guess lol. Honestly I was just checking out test boosters and have heard that none make a real difference in levels but some people get the increased libido/energy so I thought hey why not give it a try. I made an appointment next week for labs...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Oh ok, I knew guys used that for fertility and I thought also to combat the shrinkage in the testies which I thought was the result from the lh/fsh coming back online. Well good to know than haha. Thanks systemlord. Before I go on this course again I'm just trying to learn as much as possible...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Oh ya I'm with you there no question, I guess everybody thinks testosterone because it is the main sex hormone for males. It just would be nice to figure this shit out. So far my wife has been patient but it really really hinders the quality of our relationship especially when you can't even get...

    Thinking about starting trt

    When I got the ultra sound done couple years ago I had labs done, my primary physician said lh and fsh were both normal and still sending signals from the brain to the testies so I duno. I gotta find a good doctor and see if they will actually give me the copies. The problem is most of them...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Yes I did 2-3 years ago for only a month, I had a change of heart at the time and wanted to give it my all with a natural approach. I also had some weird side effects 3 weeks in which also pushed me out of it as well. I felt really faint sweaty and had shallow breathing along with crazy amounts...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Hey guys. I want to get your opinion on weather it would be appropriate to start trt. I'm a 35 year old male with a total T level of 419 and a free T level of 280. My GP says that I'm normal and that he will not prescribe any testosterone. However I have been researching trt clinics near me and...
