First ever ED issues....1900 total test

The thing is...list the symptoms of low t and we probably all have some of them sometimes. Like mood swings, yeah maybe. Like trouble focusing, yeah maybe. Like lack of drive, yeah maybe...etc. Then find you’re low normal and doc asks if you want to feel better...
I obviously agree that it was too much.
 
That’s why I started it to begin with. To feel better. To “get your youth back”. That’s how it’s marketed isn’t it?
Isn’t it marketed towards 40+ year olds that want to feel great again??
 
Did I feel bad? No not terrible
Did I feel great? No not really
Do I like working out and hitting the trials and playing sand volleyball and just feeling like an athlete and young and strong? Hell yeah!
That’s why.:)

Don't beat yourself up over it. Those are all perfectly good reasons to try TRT, but it's not a cure all- it'd be inhuman to not be grouchy after a particularly shitty day or trouble focusing when you're stressed or overworked. I don't think you should necessarily discontinue if you don't want to, but rather make a course correction. If you make a wrong turn on a road trip, you don't drive back home and start over. That said, it is odd to make such a significant time and monetary investment if you started with no symptoms.

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.
