Can you post up your TOTAL and FREE T numbers PRE-TRT and tell me if you are happy with the decision to start TRT and if you feel it has IMPROVED YOUR OVERALL SYMPTOMS ( LIBIDO/ED/MOOD/ENERGY/STRENGTH/MUSCLE MASS/RECOVERY) or ended up feeling WORSE OVERALL?

COAST I go for my next follow up on the 16th have to decide by than if I am going to go through with this............just unsure as I hear so many stories of good experiences but also bad experiences? I understand there are so many other factors regarding how one responds tot TRT but I fear shutting down what natural production I have now and maybe ending up feeling worse on TRT but maybe it could turn out for the best. If my levels were extremely low like most other members I would not hesitate mind you I am and have been experiencing many symptoms of low t for years! I am 42 will my levels more than likely get worse as time goes on..................such a LIFE CHANGING DECISION that I have to face!

I believe it would be fair to say that most of our members feel that the decision to initiate TRT resulted in enhanced health and happiness. That said, it is certainly true that some men here at Excelmale have have seen either limited or no benefit at all from their protocol. You come to the process with a great deal of anxiety, some of which is perfectly appropriate, but I can tell you this: untreated, you're unlikely to ever feel any better than you do now. In fact, you may well feel progressively worse.

All decisions carry an element of risk. I only wish I had sought treatment years before I finally did.

I am just over a month into TRT and for me, being 43 with a young child at home, it wasn't a hard choice to make. I wanted my life back so that I had the energy to be the best I could for my family.

Have not regretted it yet. TT was 163 and FT was extremely low as well (numbers in my Intro post. First blood work this week

Pre-TRT:
Test 275 (range 250 to 1100 ng/dL)
Free T 43 (range 30 to 135 pg/mL)

TRT suggested by doctor because of osteoporosis that did not respond adequately to Fosamax.

Very happy with TRT.

Increased strength, muscle mass, stamina. Less fat. Improved appearance, remarkable physique. Fabulous.
Libido (interest and desire) increased.
Erectile function: I am 73 yo and use trimix for erections. Rock solid before TRT. Same during TRT.
Osteoporosis: too soon to tell.

Adverse effects: None. Injections get annoying, but not too bad with a small 29 gauge 1/2 inch needle. 90 mg E4D.

I don't know why no one never mentions that you can try trt and stop and most people will go back to pre trt numbers and with a. Restart it can happen failry quickly.
If you are going to do trt, find a trt dr vs just getting testosterone from a local doc.

Pre trt around 350 tt. It helps a lot with many issues. Libidio was and is a little tricky to manage but doable for most.
