New member starting trt

[C_drex]

Hello,
I am new to the board and want to introduce myself. I'm 44 and I am looking to regain a little youthfulness. I was an athlete for many years - wrestling, football, mma and triathlons and also a long time military veteran. My body has taken a good bit of abuse and I have suffered from a lack of energy and poor mood for several years. I started looking in to hrt a while ago with the hope of regaining my mood and recovering from workouts and nagging injuries.
I remarried a year ago and my wife and I are looking to try to have kids. She has some fertility issues that we are working on and we are doing iui now and will likely moved to I ivf this summer. So maintaining testicular function is definitely a concern for me.
We'll see how this goes and thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Welcome!

Do you have a TRT doctor that you are confident in, or still looking? Having the right doctor truly makes the difference between success and failure on TRT.

I have a clinic. I have done labs and have a program from the clinic, so I am at least that confident. I found this website after moving forward with them and now I'm seeing some differing opinions. I guess I am more confident in what I am seeing here than in all the internet searching I did before. This is a big decision to go ahead with and I would welcome other opinions.

Why don't you post your testosterone panel? It would be interesting to see it.
