[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 253869, member: 38109"] You are right to be cautious. Unless you really are hypogonadal it's easy for TRT to leave you worse off than you were before. We don't have good statistics on this, but I have seen mention of a pretty high "churn" rate in TRT, with guys often switching methods while presumably seeking better results. What's not usually explained is that exogenous testosterone, particularly in excess, can disrupt many other hormones and systems. At a minimum there is HPTA suppression, with reduced levels of kisspeptin, GnRH, LH and FSH. These hormones may have useful functions on their own, which are then lost, occasionally resulting in symptoms such as poorer libido and sexual function. Testicular atrophy and loss of fertility are common, and hCG is often used to counteract this. There is a simpler, safer alternative in the form of fast-acting testosterone, such as testosterone nasal gel. TNG let's a man experience higher levels of testosterone without such dramatic suppression of other hormones. At a minimum TNG is a good starting point to see if higher testosterone is really going to be beneficial. [/QUOTE]
