[QUOTE="madman, post: 267331, member: 13851"] [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/goto/post?id=266654'][I][B]canadianeh said:[/B][/I][/URL] [I][B]I don’t have many typical low T symptoms. Good / strong libido, regular workouts (heavy lifting compound movement strength workouts with some HIIT twice per week in there 4-5 times a week), strong deadlift/squat/bench, full head of hair. Sleep is okay but often disrupted by bathroom trips.[/B][/I] Nelson is kicking some sense your way. [B][I]*I would not mess with TRT. It's not worth it if you feel like you described above.[/I][/B] Keep in mind that although my pre-TRT TT and FT levels were lower than yours I had all of the low-T symptoms and more importantly no libido, and lack of nocturnal and spontaneous erections. It was a no-brainer for me and I had nothing to lose when it came to the libido department as mine was next to non-existent! You also mention that your BF runs around 18-22% which is a fair amount and you definitely have room to bring this down through a strict nutrition/exercise regimen. Even if you decide to pursue TRT you are most likely going to be a high aromatizer. If anything your best bet would be trialing the nasal T gel (Natesto) as it may give you the boost in T you are looking for. May even help with improving your body composition. As I stated in a previous reply: [B][I]Now for the tricky part which is that you stated you lack many of the low T symptoms. More importantly, you have a strong libido and hopefully erectile function. Hard to say how you would fair on TRT as it is not so cut and dry. For some men it can do wonders as in life-changing in many ways, for others they will be better off than before but have nothing to brag about, many may end up struggling with ups/downs for years to come and some will be far worse off.[/I][/B] [I][B]No point in getting caught up on this as you need to decide what is best for you.[/B][/I] [B][I]I understand you are on the fence here when it comes to libido let alone testicular atrophy. Again no one can say where your libido will end up on TRT as it could stay the same, be better or lousy, and worst-case scenario non-existent. Too many factors are involved especially when it comes to libido/erectile function as they are multi-factorial. As for [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/clomid-for-testicular-shrinkage.20049/']testicular shrinkage[/URL], this can easily be prevented/minimized with the use of hCG. To be honest in your situation if you want to kill 2 birds with one stone while at the same time getting a taste of having higher T levels then your best would be trialing the nasal T gel (Natesto) which many of the endos/uros in Canada love to prescribe due to it being the least suppressive when it comes to the hpta let alone would allow one to maintain fertility, prevent/minimize [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/clomid-for-testicular-shrinkage.20049/']testicular shrinkage[/URL] and top it off will have the least impact on experiencing side-effects especially when it comes to elevated hematocrit.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
