Tell them that at 1250 you felt great. Now that they are lowering it your feel lethargic and have no libido. You need about 2cc’s a week. That will fix ya up. Ya need some Test Cyp. 👍

On the other hand:

Does this not result in your body no longer making any testosterone? Your testes will shrink? Not like I want any more kids or be proud of a saggy ballsack. LOL

You pretty much have to stay on it for the rest of your life?

Not knocking the process, just trying to understand the logistics. If you have low T, feel like shit and are dying a slow non manly death, it seems fine. If you're borderline maybe try some other things first?

My wife's friend, a female, was on a low dose of T. She got pretty aggressive towards everyone. Picking fights with family and shit. It was kinda funny. They dialed her back quite a bit and she's friendlier now.

For me. I have been neutered. Balls were already to big so shrinkage was welcomed. Not sure if any women has ever said " I just wish your balls were bigger!" They did shrink, rest stayed the same, loads are same size.

Will I be on it forever, yes!! Not that I have to. If I stop my body will start to produce again but at same low levels. Do I want to go back to feeling like shit? Hell no. That is the biggest roadblock in my opinion. It's not cheap but I spend so much on dumb stuff that this investment in myself is well worth it.

I'm 63 and would not mind trying it again I did several years ago but I like to drink a couple Corona lights each evening with a shot or 2 of silver tequila not sure how that would work out for me being on TRT.

Read a bunch of posts. Those with High iron might have hemochromatosis. My wife has it. Get your ferritin level checked. If it's too high, you may need a phlebotomy. Which is simply getting blood drained into a bag. Just like donating blood.

As far as testosterone gel goes. Look up the symptoms of low test online. That's what you tell your doctor. Also, take some of the bodybuilding website stuff for a couple of weeks and then quit a few days before your blood test. Your test level will drop before the test.

The trick with Testosterone gel is to get your insurance to pay for it. It will improve your attitude on life.

Was curious so finally got “tested”. Came back at 370. Going through options for next steps. Needles make me pass out so that’s not gonna happen. 😬

I've been on it for 15 years. I highly recommend the needles. I use 1/2" 29 gauge. You don't even feel them. There's few tricks to be able to use the small insulin needles. They'll tell you you can't, but almost everyone I know uses them. The creams and gels work at first, but after a few months, if that, most ppl will have trouble getting up to or staying at 700-800.

PM me if you want to chat. Unlike boats, this is a topic I know a lot about.

Take some time researching what cholesterol actually does. I believe the whole cholesterol thing is a big pharma lie and does more harm than good.

Been doing it for 20+ yrs. Source has changed a few times through that time but for the last six or seven years doc writes the script insurance covers it at 10 bucks a month for a 10ML vial. Did intramuscular for ages but after feeling like a pin cushion for big needles and scar tissue worsening I switched to insulin pins a few years ago and pin it in my stomach. I always used to be 12 to 1500 doing 1 to 1.5 cc a week. Last year I’ve lowered it down a little because of age to .6cc or 6 iu. I stay around 700. In the past I’ve cruised, I’ve blasted, and I’ve added every other substance you can imagine along with. Adding in Deca in a small dose does wonders. Acqua pose works great too but you will definitely gain weight. Oral Anavar (oxandrolone) is nice too but it fucks my stomach up. A matter what you do keep an eye on your estrogen. You need a certain amount for everything to work right. My body likes it between 20 and 30. You can manage it with anastrozole and a little stinging nettle. If your prolactin gets a little high or you get that funky pissed off headache in the back of your skull .25 to .5 a week. I’m pretty well-versed in this world like some have said above. Just remember in moderation as you age for longevity. Take Liv52 as well. I get full spectrum bloodwork every six months to monitor and donate a pint ev 12-15 weeks.
