As most members on here know I’ve always did better on very low dose once weekly injections. I take no other meds with trt. About 10 months ago I started a low dose statin 5mg eod. I have no perceivable side effects from the statin. Long story short, after about two months I started feeling...

As many of you know, I have struggled over the years ever feeling well on TRT. I’ve had doses all the way from 200 mg per week down to 60 mg per week. I have now been on TRT 13 years and can honestly say I’ve pretty much tried it all. I have contemplated, and even attempted quitting a few times...

I wanted to see if anyone has tried very low dose statins long term with no side effects. My doctor keeps trying to push them on me but the potential side effects scare me. My total cholesterol is 240, LDL 162, HDL 55 and triglycerides are 98. All my other labs are good but diet doesn’t budge...

I’ve tried to no avail to get my BP under control over the last year. It averages 150/95. My doctor wanted me to start 10mg Lisinopril on Thursday of this week. After the first dose it lowered my blood pressure substantially. The thing is I’ve not felt well since starting it. I feel sort of...

I’ve been on trt 12 years and until recently have been able to buy my syringes at Walgreens with no issues. We moved to Missouri a couple years back and the laws on anything medicine related are atrocious. Needless to say even syringes require a prescription. I’d like to find a good online...

I’ve been on trt over 11 years and within the last couple years drastically lowered my dose to 60mg per week. I feel much better in all areas at this dose. Having said that my BP has steadily risen and now sits at 138/95 sometimes higher. I’m very active, not overweight, and only take one...

I’ve been having a debate with a member on here to no avail regarding how quickly one can feel the effects of an injection. He’s stating that no one can feel the effects as quickly as I am stating and it’s psychosomatic. I’ve been on injections for 9.5 of the last 11 years and no matter what my...

I wanted to post this to see if any members have stopped long term trt in excess of ten years and ended up better off. There are a couple members on here I have messaged privately that seem to be doing well but I’d like to see if there are any others. I would also like to hear any input from the...

I’ve been on trt 11 years and all in all I’m doing pretty well. The one thing I’ve always had issues with while on trt is the inability to lose weight and just being more flabby than when I was natural. I’m sure a good deal of it’s water weight because the higher my dose the worse it is. Before...

Has anyone tried this for coming off trt? I’d like to hear from anyone that’s tried enclomiphene and what your experiences are regarding side effects and positives. I’m assuming Taylor made pharmacy is the only place in the US to acquire it.

I’ve been on trt going on 11 years and for the last couple years I’ve been struggling with fatigue especially in the afternoon. I noticed by early morning temp has fallen to the low 97 range and used to be up near 99. I recently did another complete thyroid panel and my levels are still within...

I wanted to get some feedback on my recent thyroid labs. Over the years my tsh has risen and free t4 as well as free t3 have fallen. My body temp has dropped a degree or so as well. Also I’ve had more trouble losing weight lately. The numbers aren’t terrible but there’s several articles online...

I wanted to get some thoughts on my most recent lipid panel. I’ve never smoked, drink occasionally, not overweight, exercise every day and the only medication I take is testosterone. My docs trying to push a statin on me but I’m really weary of those considering the potential side effects. Any...

Has anyone noticed their LDL and hematocrit rise after switching to subcutaneous injections? My LDL increased by 30 points and my hematocrit increased from 47 to 52. It’s the same dose but enanthate rather than cypionate. Also my trough t level is 150ng lower than IM injections.

I wanted to get some feedback from any members that are or have taken statins. My cholesterol has been in the 210-240 range since my early 20s. My HDL is normally 55-60 and triglycerides in the 60-80 range. I’m not overweight, don’t smoke, drink occasionally, no family history of heart disease...

Has anyone with low or no libido on trt quit and had libido improve?

I watched a video yesterday on YouTube with Dr. Mark Gordon and he brought up how TRT improves immune system function. Thinking back since I started TRT nearly a decade ago I’ve hardly ever gotten sick. In fact I don’t know when the last time was that I had a cold or any kind of virus. I didn’t...

I wanted to get some feedback from guys that have switched from injectable to topical. I’ve struggled for years with injectable and felt the best in the beginning with Androgel 1.62. I’ve recently started back on Androgel and not feeling super as of yet but I’m slowly upping the dose. I’m...

I realize this might not be appropriate to post on here but I’m desperate to find someone that might have had this experience. I’ve had 13 surgeries on my left arm now and getting ready to have another one on my left hand in a few weeks. This is the result of a workplace injury and has been...

I wanted to post this to see if anyone has quit trt and been off long term. I’ve struggled for years on trt and have tried quitting twice but the withdrawals are horrendous. I’ve been shut down nearly a decade with less than two months on hcg total. I’m generally healthy and on no medications...

I realize that EOW dosing isn't popular on the forums for various reasons and I certainly understand in most men why this is not feasible. I have talked to 3-4 guys over the years, all older than me, that state they've been using this dosing regimen for years and like it. I recently moved to...

Seems as of lately more men are claiming to be happier on topical formulation or incorporating it into their injectable regimen. Perhaps Dr Crisler was right all along in stating topical modalities are superior to injectables. My first 1.5 years was on gels including Androgel 1.62 and Axiron. I...

Seems over the last couple years that men seeking out and being treated with trt has sharply declined. The last couple physicians I’ve had have stated the number of men requesting testing or treatment is only a fraction of what it was a few years back. Could it be that men are trying to take...

I wanted to ask a question on here because I’ve never seen it asked before. Just wanted to get feedback from guys that have been on TRT several years. The question is, have you ever at any point while being on TRT, felt as good as when your body was performing at its best naturally? The reason...

Recently started propionate and overall like the way I feel. I’m certain if I stay on it, that I’ll have to increase my dose due to it not being 3 weeks since last Cypionate dose. I’m having a weird side effect after each injection that seems to be getting worse each day. It’s causing carpal...

I wanted to do a poll to see where most men feel best in general once finding a treatment plan that works. It seems more people on the forums are moving to lower doses and feeling better. Option 1-400-599ng Option 2-600-799ng Option 3-800-999ng Option 4-1000-1200ng

I’ve contemplated in the past about trying daily injections, just for the really stable levels. It seems it would be better from all aspects considering only having tiny variations throughout the day. I’d like to know if anyone on here with mid to high shbg has tried this and what the outcome was.

I’ve been on TRT several years and have tried HCG a few times but have never did well on it. With that said I prefer not to use it. My question is for guys that are using it with TRT, how much does it affect your total t level as compared to only using test? I’ve never seen this discussed...

Since starting TRT several years ago my DHEA has been on the lower end, which seems to be common. I’ve tried supplementing over the years with various doses ranging from 25mg down to 10mg. Within an hour of taking any dose, I feel really tired and get a dull headache. Defy advises me that’s it’s...

Somethings thats perplexed me in the 8 plus years of being on TRT is it's little to no effect on libido, in fact many men including myself had better libido in borderline or fully hypogonadal states. Testosterone undoubtedly has a huge effect on libido, but something with TRT for a large number...

I’ve been on TRT over 8.5 years and most of it up until the last few months hasn’t went so well. I’ve attempted a couple restarts myself but gave up after feeling really bad for a while. I’ve did hundreds of hours of reading and research over the last decade but have been unable to find a single...
