[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 214753, member: 38109"] The problem I see with this test is that it's not going to be representative of how you'd feel on TRT in the long run. You may get the honeymoon effect, with the surging exogenous androgens adding to your own production and boosting dopamine, making you feel great until your body adapts. Then you're misled into thinking that TRT is like that all the time, and like countless men you end up wasting a lot of time trying to recreate the experience and make it last longer. A trial like this also doesn't make you experience the consequences of HPTA shutdown, which can range from minor to quite significant. A somewhat better approach could be a trial with testosterone nasal gel. The trial can be relatively prolonged, for at least a month or two, to give you a more realistic sense of what higher levels of testosterone will and will not do for you. If it goes well then it could become an indefinite treatment, or a prelude to conventional TRT. The big advantage of the nasal gel is that it does not significantly disrupt your HPTA and endogenous testosterone production. There's less worry about testicular atrophy, infertility and other side effects of conventional TRT. [/QUOTE]
