Hi all, nice to be here. I'm a 35 year old guy who has been struggling with various issues related to low-t and just now figured out that's what is going on. For years I never even considered my issues could be hormonal in nature, and so I just lived with fatigue, depression, low libido and ED, thinking it's just the way life is.
Recently things just started getting so bad I did some searching and learned about trt, which surprisingly had never even entered my mind as a possibility. I found a local low-t center with good reviews in my area, and had the blood test done. My first test came back with a total testosterone level of 123. I went for my second test the next day (both done at 8am) and it was 150. They gave me my first injection that day, 200mg. Their initial plan is to now do 140mg every week for 6 weeks and re-evaluate me. I also asked for HCG for cosmetic purposes, as my self-esteem is low enough as it is, and being younger(ish) I'd prefer to retain the look and feel of having testicles.
A bit of info, I'm 6'1", 188lb, reasonably healthy with no serious medical issues, just some mild asthma. I eat well, but not like an Olympic athlete. I have an on/off relationship with the gym; i used to go hardcore, then slacked, then tried to get back in it and struggled to do half of what I easily used to do when I first started. The lack of strength and sheer feeling of weakness was one of the biggest things that got me searching.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Just hoping to find some good info and support here, and perhaps as I continue my journey, be able to provide hope to others who may be struggling. Thanks!
