heyguise,


Welcome! I am in a somewhat similar boat as you in that I'm 31 and leery of the long-term commitment and the unkown (and unknowable) potential complications. 


I've been monitoring my blood work for about 16 months with as yet mediocre results attempting to increase my T naturally, so I am still considering TRT.  It's a big decision and one that all clinicians and patients advise that you ruminate on carefully, as it's something you ordinarily would stop unless you responded poorly or had unmanageable complications. Think of it as marriage and you don't believe in divorce, I've been told.


You haven't shared details on your chronic condition, but as Re-ride mentions, that may be a reason that TRT is indicated as a quality of life measure.


There are lots of guys here, many with lots of great experience.  Please continue to post and ask questions.


One final note: I would second ERO's comments that if you go the TRT route, it's worth making sure you find a high quality prescribing doctor, as many of the poor experiences and lousy TRT outcomes likely come from bad protocols.  Ensuring you have a well trained clinician at your side may be the difference between a great experience and a poor one. 


Best of luck!
