[QUOTE="Matthew Leiser, post: 66530, member: 15319"] Hey all, New member and first time posting. I have been on TRT (test cyp 100 mg weekly) for about 2 years. About 6 months from my 40th birthday my marriage fell apart and I felt horrible mentally and physically. I am 6 feet tall and at the time weighed in at 345 lbs. this is the most i have ever weighed. I tried hitting the gym but had no energy and my strength was gone. I was struggling with 20 lb dumbbells when in my prime I was working out with 90 lb dumbbells. I knew something was not right. I went to my doctor and he ordered some tests and diagnosed me as hypogonadal. No brain tumors or history of testicular damage. I started on Androgel which after 3 months proved ineffective so moved to injection. Initial total serum test 259 ng/dl range 348 to 1197 follow up tests total serum test 232 ng/dl 348 to 1197 free test 38 pg/ml range 46 to 224 Vit D was almost non-existent. It has been about 2 years and I have seen many benefits. My strength has returned and I am stronger now than I have ever been. I am down 20 lbs overall based on the scale but have filled out when it comes to musculature. I have always had broad shoulders but have gone from a 54 to a 58 and have had to throw out my suits and sports jackets. I have lost fat everywhere except my mid section. I really seem to hold on to that and am struggling there. My diet has not always been the greatest and I know I can do better there. Area where I have not seen improvement is erections. I can't remember the last time I had "morning wood" and erections are weak and do NOT last. Being the marriage fell apart 2 years ago sex is not plentiful so was put on the back burner to work on my mental and physical health. I would like to correct this part of my life I did not know about estrogen management when I started so have no baseline info so just had those levels measured last week. Estradiol was 50 pg/ml range < or equal to 39 total serum estrogen 209.1 pg/ml range 60 to 190 Total serum test 388 ng/dl 250 to 827 free test 97.6 pg/ml range 46 to 224 i also hold water Especially in my legs and feet and feel bloated 3 to 4 days a week. I am open to any advice from everyone's experience and looking forward to,learning all I can. thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
