[QUOTE="dquerry86, post: 79527, member: 16391"] I'm 31 and have been on TRT for almost a year now. The doctor recommended TRT after common low T symptoms and after blood work was done. The blood work was all in normal ranges except my testosterone serum was at 345 ng/dl. This was just under their low range of 348 ng/dl so the doctor had me wait 3 months and check my levels again to be sure they were low. After 3 months my level was at 298 ng/dl so I started getting injections of Testosterone Cypionate at 200 mg/ml every 4 weeks. After 3 months I had blood work done to check my testosterone and it came in at 188 ng/dl. This was also the only thing tested for. The doctor then increased the dose to 300 mg/ml every 4 weeks. Went back after 3 months and testosterone serum was 169 ng/dl. Again testosterone serum is all that was test. I was increased to 300 mg/ml every 3 weeks and told to have my levels checked again after 6 months. My doctor never seems to have an answer when I ask why is my testosterone continually going down. I still have basically no sex drive, erections are difficult, muscle mass and strength are significantly decreased, I'm fatigued, gained a little weight and recently started feeling depressed. All of those symptoms I had, besides feeling depressed, before getting on TRT. I still haven't seen the slightest improvement in any of those areas or even any area at all for that matter. Is there a general reason testosterone levels would decrease after starting TRT? Why do I feel no effect being on TRT even after a year? I have read that lower doses more frequently might help because levels peak after around 3 days and then drop off. If I don't feel any positive effects anytime from when I get my injection to even when it peaks around 3 days, would increasing frequency even help? If my levels are just dropping and I don't have any positive effects/results should I just get off of the TRT? Any information you may be able to provide is greatly appreciated! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
