[QUOTE="StewDoigg, post: 68692, member: 15547"] Hey gents, I'll try to make this short. I am a 32 year old male. Very active. Work out 7 days a week. 7 days with around 1.5-2 hours of cardio and 5 days of 1-1.5 hours of lifting. I have anxiety and depression and ooze stress. Noticing that despite my rigorous workout schedule some fat was still hanging on (in the midsection (muffin top) for example and even changing diet I started to wonder about my test. I also haven't noticed the muscle growth I'd expect with my exercise level and supplementation of lots of protein, BCAAs, vitamins, etc. For month when I was younger I had test injections but it stopped for reasons I can't remember. Fast forward to now. I order some labs and my test shows, even with lots of working out, at 415nl (LH at 7.8). I have an appointment with a urologist on May 18th and I pretty sure he will prescribe TRT. I'm just unsure if I want to get it. I've heard about how it atrophies your testicles and you are on it for life and this and that.I worry about estrogen and such too. I mean, should I try just HCG first? Or OTC methods to increase test? I have a month and I have some OTC booster. Should I try it and get retested a couple days before? Or just leave it as is so when the inevitably retest me it comes in similarly? If I do is cream OK or must I do injection? I have read how TRT has changed lives and I sure could use that. Its actually that pesky anxiety trying to scare me over being forced to be on a substance the rest of my life (though for example I have no such feelings for the people I know on Synthroid), testicular atrophy, mood swings, increased risks of cancer and strokes, etc. Looking for some real talk from real people. Hoping someone will help, and thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
