Difficult time waking up in mornings.

Currently half way through my 2nd week on trt.

Haven’t noticed much of anything at this point.

Hopefully the libido boost will come soon.

Only things I’ve noticed is my nose gets stuffed up every night when I’m asleep.

Also, I’m finding it difficult to wake up in the mornings, even on days when I’m going to bed even earlier than usual.

Not sure if this is because I’m sleeping heavier or what?

Protocol is:

My protocol is testosterone 70mg twice a week (140mg per week).

40 units HcG twice per week. (80 units per week)
 
Your pituitary gland is in the process of shutting down if not already, there would be no reason why you should feel on top of the world at this point.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
