starting trt

Hi guys, I promised I searched for an hour and didn’t find the answer, in case it is in a thread somewhere obvious. I am on HCG mono with decent results, but i need my T to be a little higher and E to be a little lower based on how I feel and bloodwork taken based on those feelings. When...

I'm in my late 30s and have been having all the symptoms of low T for at least 5-6 years, but never thought that could "be it" given my age. I've had some sexual issues recently and decided to test the hormones. An at home lancet blood test (tested by a lab, not a card test) gave a 283 ng/dl...

There are several things that your doctor may fail to tell you when you start testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): 1- TRT decreases your sperm count. 2- TRT may increase your blood viscosity (hematocrit). Some doctors want to stop your TRT when this happens, but this side effect can be...

Hi all. This is my second thread, here is an old one with just a couple of posts: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/just-started-trt-having-second-thoughts.20595/#post-172458 Long story short, I am 40 yo, one year ago I gave up on TRT before I even started, so to speak, and started 5mg...

I am 66yo, and am considering to start TRT. My current TT (LC-MS/MS) is around 450 [270-648] ng/dL, and Calculated FT around 80 [47-244] pg/mL. I have some questions, hopefully you knowledgeable members can help me. 1. How accurate is Calculated Free Testosterone comparing to equilibrium...

So, I was prescribed T-cypionate by my Endo. I'm 54 years old and below are my recent numbers. Do these numbers warrant it? My total seems to be in the normal range. I do feel like I'm lacking energy for my workouts and get tired at night after work easily I am also relying on the use of...

Im 35 M and have noted a drastic change in the past few years. I'm 5'7, 165 around 15% body fat. I try to exercise at least 3-5 times per week and it includes lifting weights, boxing, yoga, and tennis. Physical symptoms: fatigue, lack of energy, poor exercise tolerance, not much muscle tone nor...

I’ve had people ask me, if I can spare a vial of testosterone. My answer always has to be at no. Why start, if you can’t afford it. The only reason I’m posting this is someone just asked me again.

After looking over my latest blood results my doctor made the decision to start me on trt. My test levels were 9nmo/l and she also said my gh levels were at 50% of what they should be. Everything else came back good (Estradiol, liver, kidney, shbg etc) My concern is the starting dose of 250mg...

I’ve been reading all the posts about members crashing their E2 and it horrified me. My E2 levels are currently at 30 and Total Test at 450, however, my skin is on the drier side and my joints feel creaky. I know 30 for E2 is supposed to be in the upper range though. My TRT regiment will be...
