[QUOTE="BigBeard411, post: 224910, member: 43898"] Thanks for the input, to all of you. Yes, Natesto has a very short half life so it seems unlikely the natural boost in test is due to that. I was on it for 2 weeks, then had to go off for 2 weeks for the retest by the 2nd doctor. I went back to a low energy/easily fatigued state during that time. I went to the gym a single day during the 2-week off period and had to leave after 20 minutes because i just could not do it. I am now on it and I feel normal again for someone my age (35). I would not call it a honey moon, but it simply feels great feeling normal, especially after suffering for years. Yes, the 2nd test was at 8am at the theoretical peak at the fasted state. It seems strange that compared to the afternoon, it is over 50% higher. Regardless, it is still a very poor level and I am indeed symptomatic without it. Even my libido and erection strength improved in such a short time. My reasoning is that if i was truly not hypogonadal, I would not see any of these benefits with typical TRT. I am just disappointed since I am young for TRT, despite having worked out for a large part of my life and been healthy. Part of me feels like the only other choice is to feel like crap for the rest of my life - possibly getting worse with age. what would be the average free test for someone in my age group? I probably have close to half of total test. Lastly, the clinical diagnosis for hypogonadism seems arbitrary, as it takes value into account prior to symptoms, and compares values according to a range as opposed to a healthy average. It also makes no sense how i can dwindle in an out of that medically defined hypogonadal state. I do notice i feel best early in the morning, which is why i work out very early, and then the rest of the day is typically a horrible drag where I have to force myself to do anything and am constantly stressed and irritated. Would you continue TRT if you were in my shoes? Would injections have shut me down after 2 weeks of taking them? [/QUOTE]
