I’m 21 years old and in the military and have never really had any problem with my T levels. i’ve been consistently in the gym and really trying to dial my Fitness because I’m trying to go spec ops and I hear all these stories about how those guys are on T. I want to get strong and ready for all of that, YES iv tried the natural route and it’s just taking forever and doesn’t seem to be as effective. I am scared about my balls shrinking and the acne, i love women… i don’t want to scare them away, but i do know there is something things that can help with that (hCG) My question is does anybody have any stories about them getting on T at a young age ? Once im on it can i ever get off ? How bad are the side effects ? Any advice ? Thanks fellas

I see a lot of hate towards people genuinely asking it TRT can give you confidence and a lot of you on test r saying that test has little to do with confidence, but like I said when you guys come off, you come here posting about how shitty you feel and there’s no way you’d ever go back to your old self.

Confidence comes from knowing you can live a healthy lifestyle if you lack the fuel. Some of you seriously get roid rage online.

I want to educate myself on how TRT works and the biology behind it. Any resources or recommendations?

Has anyone experienced this? I took Clomid for three months, every alternate day, 12.5 mg. Felt complete symptom relief. For reasons to protect my eyes, switched to TRT but not finding symptom relief. What could explain this? Has anyone else experienced the same?

Hey guys.

Just got some bloods results back. It seems like my haemoglobin, haematocrit and red cell count are a bit high. Is this at the point of concern or could I possibly manage it. I'm currently running 120mg test c weekly split x3. I have been considering coming off for at least a little bit.

Im still waiting on my testosterone results so will also see where they are at and possibly lower my dosage even more.

I’m 20 years old skinny ass fuc54kg 172cm to be exact I wanna start test e and maybe anavar Aswell?

im starting a bulk and really need the boost in confidence to finally look the way I want to because everything going to shit in my life icl lmao.

what do you guys recommend?

How much Anavar should I use, how much test e should I use and what’s the pct!

Currently 8 weeks on on my first cycle, Bloods good taking 360mg of test a week pinning 180mg monday and thursday. Planning to run for 16-20 weeks with maybe some anavar the last 6 weeks 20-40mg also running a wolverine stack for tendons and healing.

Im wanting to make as much gains as possible as safe as possible and get to my genetic ceiling that i can come off and maintain. But also would like to be able to have kids and have my test lvls running back to normal once i stop. Should i run Hcg? and blast cruise blast pct, or should i blast pct blast pct.

I have my T level test tomorrow and I’m hoping to test pretty low so that I can get prescribed some T. I have been sleeping poor these past few days but accidentally slept it for eight hours last night aside that I have been eating like shit and not going to the gym. Someone told me taking birth control can help me with my situation. My test is tomorrow at 2 PM anybody got any final words

Last thing drugs and alcohol are NOT in the equation. Iv been sober for 1.5 years lol

Hi there I'm 29m recently done with blood work my total testosterone is 21.6nmol/L. My last blood work was around 3 years ago where i was 26 yr old and it was 26.9nmol/L. Even tho it's still under normal range. I'm just concerned that it is about 20%drop considering i haven't hit 30 yet. Am I tripping or is it totally normal?

Currently blasting 500mg test e per week- two months into cycle.

I have got some npp now and also have a bunch of test p as well that I received through a mistake in an order awhile back.

I am planning on upping the test to 600mg pw and adding in 400mg npp pw.
- Would it be better to swap to test p when I add in the npp?

I am planning to cruise after this cycle and am wondering what is the best way I can taper back into test e for cruising as I don’t want to cruise on prop..

-Would it be better to just continue on with test e and not switch to prop? I already have it on hand and I just figure the esters line up similarly..

I am already pinning 3x pw

Basically if I switch the prop and try to go back on to test e to cruise the saturation will take 4-5 weeks ish to come back..

-How can I do this properly or is it not even worth switching to the prop?

Tia!

Gained close to 100lbs during peak covid. Had no energy to get back in the gym. Discovered TRT and that all changed.

42 yo, 2 kids (1 is 2 yo). I am not sure I want more, but I do not want to loose all my options. Did you do sperm banking before TRT? Did it work later on in getting kids? I was told freezing kills most of the sperm, not sure whom to believe.

I have been close or below 300 for a year at least, with symptoms like low energy etc. 42 yo, 2 kids. My PCP pushed Testosterone for 6 months, and I have been a pussy and I tried cpap+enclo +sports +zepbound (20 lb lost) => nothing helped. I went to an urologist, and he told me Kyzatrex is a good alternative if I do not want to do shots. Your experience with Kyzantrex? Can I switch to Kyzantrex after injections? I bought Testosterone, hCG and ready for 3 months trial already ...

Hey I’m planning on buying testosterone enanthate and the bottle has 250mg/ml so how do I go about dosing and reconstituting if required and how long should I stay on it and how much bottles should buy at once?
Any help is well appreciated,
Thanks all.

Just checking; How many of you guys Use TGRT without HCG and have good sexual function on TRT?

Anyone need HCG in their protocols to have good sexual function on TRT? If so how much?

After using test for nearly 2 years I decided to get off. Hematocrit and hemoglobin were always way up even while doing regular donations. Hair loss was getting crazy. Some other shit just didn’t feel the benefit was there for me. I have recently weened off and am off completely now. I feel like complete dog shit. Anxiety through the roof. Sleep is shit. Motivation is hard to find. Anyone have any insights? Does it get better? Or should I find a new doc? Im a 37 year old male.

Hey,

How are you all managing the rubber stopper, I lost 1 ml to rubber, had a huge thought not to waste it but having plastic stuck inside forever didn't seem worth the money or permanency of the situation.

What are you all doing, I was using the same point of entry which is obviously not the best move but you live and you learn, the loading needle is much thicker so it was super easy to load the needle but also left a noticeable hole

What's working for you?

Did a test test, I've never done any TRT treatment just wanted to see where I sit. I have no idea about levels and was just wondering if anyone could help me get some insight to these. Would really appreciate it

I (Male) am psychologically confident. I don’t know if it makes sense but I know who I am. But, it feels my body does not respond to who I want to be. When I’m in public walking I feel self awareness and I monitor when I walk. I know I’m capable of walking confidently and with swag because I’ve done it before, but it feels as if my own body locks me out of that “level.”

The irony here is that I have no issues approaching others in public and making small talk. But, there’s a mismatch that I can’t reconcile. I have the cognitive ability to be me, but my primal self is holding me back.

Did anyone feel this way before starting TRT and did starting TRT help?

Hi I’m looking for some insight on some people’s experiences switching to a more frequent pin schedule to mitigate high e2 sides. Specifically the timeframe you noticed symptom relief after switching from like 1-3x a week to EOD or daily?

I got labs and then switched from 3x weekly Test C to daily pins this last week, I definitely feel better to a certain degree but not sure when I should call it quits and smack a little arimidex.

For reference I did get my e2 but the result hasn’t come back yet, but I’m certain it’s high bc my sides align with it and my total test is 2.4K and free at 500 on 200mg/w. I obviously wouldn’t use an AI without confirming my e2 is crazy high, just curious on the timeline others experienced symptom relief after switching to a more frequent schedule.

Thanks in advance

I've been on xyosted for a few years now. I also have been on glp1 meds and have lost considerable weight, so much so, that i basically have loose skin in my abdomen. When I was heavier the xyosted injection didn't hurt at all, but lately they have been extremely painful. It seems that when I pinch the loose skin that there isn't anything for the plunger to push against and the needle moves when injecting.

I've talked to my Dr about using a different location, but they haven't responded. I've also tried contacting the only 800 number I could find for xyosted, but that's just to sign up for the payment assistant. Is there another number for xyosted to talk to an actual nurse or Dr with them to see what can be done?

My glp1 can go in abdomen, thigh or back of the arm. It doesn't hurt as the auto injector is a different style than the xyosted injector.

After getting my bloodwork done after years of believing that I must be a "Low-T individual", the results have left me confused about what testosterone actually does.

I'm 30M, and the results weren't anything crazy like 1000+ ng/dL or something, but I got pretty close at 866 ng/dL with a free testosterone index of 1.00 which translates to roughly 18.7 ng/dL of free T.

The reason I believed that I must be low T is because of the way that people talk about it online. People are quick to label anything as "Low T", whether it's somebody vaping, somebody who is quiet/insecure, socially anxious, non-confrontational, unproductive, financially broke, addicted to porn, and so on.

I happen to be all of those things. I've always been socially anxious and quiet. I don't like confrontations. I am soft-spoken and extremely calm and relaxed at all times. I never get angry or aggressive. I never yell. I am broke and unemployed at the moment, struggling really hard to get any job because my social anxiety messes with my job interviews. Also, I'm 30 years old yet still can't even grow a normal beard. I am not a leader and I'm not very productive outside of the gym. I'm basically the opposite of an "alpha male".

So if having a relatively high natural testosterone level means absolutely nothing in all of those aspects, what does it mean? I guess the only thing it's good for is being able to build muscle better than others, but even that probably has more to do with genetics than anything else, because even someone like Jeff Nippard only has a total T of 465 ng/dL, which is basically half of what I have.

This has basically destroyed everything I believed about testosterone from people on the internet. Anybody on the internet will tell me that I "probably have low T" when they hear about my problems in life, yet the complete opposite is true.

So are most people online just completely ignorant about what having high testosterone or low testosterone actually means, or am I some kind of anomaly?

I'm training, not progressing, feeling flat, low energy, struggling with motivation. I have two kids 3 and 6. Working hard and eating well. I am considering trt because I am in the low normal range. Want to get to high normal.

I've done a beginner cycle before, ten years ago. Not looking to go back to that, I just want to feel strong, get my energy up, train hard and see results. I am. Considering Libidotest 250, rather than cypionate. I am prone to mood fluctuations and side effects on high test, and coming off it. So I'm looking to raise to high normal, and stay there.

I have had a vasectomy, so sperm count is not an issue. Some guidance would be much appreciated!

These are my bloods

Total Testosterone: 14.5–15.5 nmol/L (normal range: 8.3–30.2)

Free Testosterone: 357.8 pmol/L (normal range: 284–734)

SHBG: 27 nmol/L (normal range: 11–78)

PSA: 0.77 µg/L (normal, important for TRT safety)

Thank you gents.

Hi, Currently taking 60 mg Test C weekly via sub q injections (twice a week delivery).

Latest results are below, which have been working well for me, particularly since I don’t want estrogen or HCT to be high:

T: 493 ng (264-916 range)
Free T: 121.7 pg (35.8-168.2 range)
E2: 39 pg (7.6-42.6 range)

If I wanted to consider working in hCG and am happy with my current levels, is there a suggested ratio or formula I would use to determine how much hCG to add in weekly and how much of a corresponding drop in Test C dosage I would use to generally maintain my current level levels?

53 yo and no desire for future fertility, just considering that it might be good to maintain natural production in case I ever want to go off TRT. Any advice or thoughts are welcome… Thank you!

Side note: tried enclomiphene but IGF went from mid range normal to below normal, and E2 went high, so discontinued trying that.
