[QUOTE="Reason, post: 101899, member: 17508"] Thanks for the replies, everyone. Apologies for not updating this thread on week 4, very busy at work. [B][SIZE=4]Week 4-5 Update:[/SIZE] [/B] [B]TL;DR:[/B] Feeling [I]very[/I] good (when I sleep OK), best I've felt since starting treatment. Libido great. Starting to notice body composition changes in response to diet/exercise. Best weeks yet! [B]The Good:[/B] When I do get decent sleep the positive effects of TRT are [I]really[/I] starting to show. I've been an anxious person all my life. Also dealt with depression and general malaise for many years. This started to change with TRT, as documented above, but I'm really feeling it this past week. I'm often caught off-guard by my positive mood and lack of diffuse anxiousness, and find myself wondering if I'm just being stupid and gullible for feeling this good because it's unfamiliar. I also feel like I'm going through a 2nd "honeymoon period" with my fiancée. I don't know who is happiest with my decision to go on TRT, me or her. Gained a bit more weight (+5lbs since treatment start) but some of it is definitely muscle mass. Gym has felt good. Recovery is so fast! All that said, I feel like there's still room for improvement and I'm looking forward to the days to come. I'm really curious to see how I'll feel when I get my sleep under control. [B]The Bad: [/B]Week 4 insomnia was rough, Week 5 has also been rocky, but better. I am continuing to make tweaks to try and improve things with mixed success. I'll leave it at that. I felt "moody" this weekend, sort of emotional, but not really sad or euphoric, like a good and intense impatience. I'll keep monitoring as I'm aware it could be linked with high E2 (not taking an AI right now). Shallow IM injections cause [I]really[/I] bad soreness. Last thigh shot was so sore I was almost walking with a limp. I've given up on it and doing SubQ only from now on. -- I still want to transition into a daily injection schedule (see above). Is it too soon? [/QUOTE]
