[QUOTE="madman, post: 111697, member: 13851"] Do you have pre-trt labs to post and what is your trt protocol? It is common when one first starts trt to see an increase in libido as the hpta is not fully shut down yet so you are still producing some endogenous t and also now using exogenous testosterone injections and there is also increases in dopamine.....most would call this the honeymoon period. As testosterone levels are increasing there is also an increase in estradiol levels and even though it takes 6 weeks for testosterone levels to stabilize and one may feel great when starting trt (boost libido/more frequent erections) things can also get bumpy and there can be ups and downs depending on how ones body is reacting to testosterone and how that specific dose of testosterone is effecting their total t, free t, estradiol levels among other health markers. After 6 weeks when levels have stabilized and blood work is done one may need to increase/lower testosterone dose depending on whether or not their levels are in a healthy range and providing relief/improvements of low t symptoms. As far as semen consistency/volume is can be effected negatively (thicker/less volume) due to hpta shutdown and the pituitary no longer making lh to (stimulate the leydig cells to produce testosterone) and no longer making fsh to (stimulate the seritoli cells to produce sperm). It is common in many to experience testicular shrinkage and lower ejaculate volume/change consistency but it depends on the person as not everyone experiences this. I have been on trt for 18 months.....no hcg or aromatase inhibitor and as far as testicular shrinkage maybe slightly but I can not tell as they were a descent size before trt and they always hang. I can still shoot big powerful loads and experience intense orgasms so in my case things have been good. I would say on trt doses testicular shrinkage should be minimal and if one had smaller testes pre-trt than they may notice much more than someone that had bigger testes pre-trt. [/QUOTE]
