That’s like saying I went into a Starbucks and a group of people drinking coffee told me that TRT isn’t a good idea, so they must be right.
How is Reddit the authority in male hormones?
It could take that long just to dial in your protocol. You start, your hormone levels are too high, 6 weeks in, you decrease the dosage, 6 weeks later, when your hormone reach a steady state, you’re already 3 months into TRT.
Then at 6 months, you start feeling off on days 5-6, injecting once weekly, so now you need to spilt your doses up twice weekly. Yet another 6 weeks to reach steady states.
It could take 6 months to notice significant improvement. This is just to give you a rough idea of what it may be like for you.
I was on the first time around for 3 years, stopped without any PCT and restarted my HPTA in 4.5 weeks. That’s with a lot of ongoing health problems.
The majority of men who start and stopped TRT don’t have issues with restarting their HPTA, and those that can’t, you can argue they were already headed in that direction, and the TRT made it happen sooner rather than later.
You can hold off for now, wait 10-20 years, deal with the lower quality of life, then start experiencing a higher quality of life many years from now, it’s up to you, but TRT is inevitable!
I hope this puts things into perspective for you.
