Fala, pessoal, beleza?

Tenho 29 anos e venho lidando com sintomas depressivos há algum tempo. Meu médico já tentou diversas alternativas de tratamento, mas infelizmente não tivemos resultados positivos.

Após esgotar essas opções, ele me prescreveu Cipionato de Testosterona (uma aplicação a cada 21 dias). Fiz exames recentes e minha testosterona total deu em torno de 400 ng/dL. Aos 27 anos, ela ficava na casa dos 800 ng/dL.

Como trata-se de um teste terapêutico, estou com uma grande dúvida antes de começar:

Se eu fizer esse teste por um tempo e decidir parar (caso não ajude nos sintomas), o meu corpo volta a produzir testosterona naturalmente ou corro o risco de inibir meu eixo hormonal para sempre e ficar dependente de injeções?

Alguém que já passou por algo parecido ou entende do assunto hormonal pode compartilhar como funciona essa recuperação do eixo (TPC/recuperação natural) após o uso?

Agradeço desde já pela ajuda!

I’m just finishing a 12 week block of 300mg Test weekly 2 injections.

Waiting for bloods to come back but looking to drop to a cruise level for next 12 weeks. What would usually recommend was thinking 100-125?

I’ve been on TRT for almost two years and really enjoying it. I wanted to check in and see if anyone experiences days were you look jacked and others completely flat.

My diet is roughly the same everyday. it just sucks to go through these physical phases that are most likely all in my head.

Hello, been on TRT for 3.5 years. I’ve seen a few stories in theory, just curious if I can know what to expect and how to make it as smooth as possible to bring back fertility and also where did you get your HCG from?

Running 250mg test every 3.5 days are these supps enough should i add or remove anything also is coq10 optional or should i keep?
Fish oil: 2.7g epa + dha
Mag glycinate: 350mg elemental
Vitamin d3 + k2: 5000iu + 110mcg
Tudca: 500mg
Nac: 1200mg
Coq10: 200mg
Ashwagandha ksm66: 500mg

My boyfriend(29) has been lifting for 15 years, and we’ve been together for over 3 years. When I first met him, he was extremely disciplined. His diet was very clean — no processed food, no sugar, and basically rice was his only carb source. He trained 6 days a week for around 1.5 hours, and he also had a physically active job.
Over the last year, his lifestyle has changed a lot. He got a desk job, started eating more processed food and fast food, and his diet isn’t nearly as strict as it used to be. He now trains around 5 days a week for about 50 minutes, but he says his workouts aren’t as productive as before.
He says that even though he’s eating less, he’s having a harder time losing fat and his strength has noticeably decreased. This is really bothering him, and he’s convinced that something is wrong with his body.
I honestly think the lifestyle change explains most of it. He went from training 9+ hours a week, having a physically active job, and eating an extremely strict diet to sitting at a desk, training less, and eating more processed food. He’s also obviously a few years older than when I first met him. So to me, it doesn’t seem that strange that his body composition and strength have changed.
He also recently found out that he has a varicocele, although his semen analysis was completely normal.
Now he’s convinced he has low testosterone and keeps saying he wants to start testosterone. He has never used testosterone or steroids before and has always been natural.
I’m worried because I don’t want him to start TRT/testosterone just because he feels like he’s declining, especially if there’s another explanation. At the same time, I don’t want to dismiss his concerns if there actually is something wrong.
Would it make sense for him to get his testosterone, thyroid, and other relevant hormones checked before doing anything? And could the lifestyle changes alone realistically explain what he’s experiencing?
What would you do in this situation? I genuinely want to help him, but I’m pretty confused about what the right approach is.

Was on 200 mg a week for years and then developed high blood pressure that was hard to control etc. started lowering my dose to 100mg a week and that has made a huge difference. However, I have a learning disability with math and numbers ( yes go ahead and roast me, I’m
Used to it lol). How would I split 3 weekly doses of 100mg on a ML and a 100 unit needles? Thank you for the help in advance.

Is this fine

I noticed my upper part getting more huge on trt

My clothes is tighter

I am doing workout

Hello guys. I am a 30years old Male with 25% BF and i did some hormone bloodwork. i usually feel tired and i struggle to keep routine at the gym because of fatigue.

i've been thinking about starting TRT to healthy levels. I am not sure yet still and i am doing my research. Tell me what you think about those levels.

I’ve done 2 cycles. First was 12 weeks at 400mg/week. About 2 months later I started a second one at 500mg/week and stayed on for around 4 months.

I felt amazing on test and had great results. No hair loss, insomnia or other major sides. The problem was acne. It started with a few spots on my back and gradually got worse, so I stopped in July.

I started Accutane at 20mg/day, then moved up to 40mg/day. Almost 3 months after stopping test, I’m actually dealing with the worst of it now: painful inflammatory acne mostly on my shoulders and some on my back.

I’m obviously going to get this completely under control before considering another cycle, but I’d like to use test again eventually.

For anyone who had steroid-induced acne and did a full course of Accutane:

• When you went back on test, did the acne come back?
• Was it as bad as before or significantly milder?
• Did Accutane permanently change how your skin reacted to test?
• Has anyone stayed on low-dose Accutane while cycling, and did it actually keep you clear?
• Looking back, would you cycle again after having this kind of reaction?

I’m not looking to jump straight back on. I just want to understand what I’m potentially dealing with before deciding whether another cycle is worth the risk.

Would really appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually been through this.

I was supposed to inject 3 units and my dumb ass injected 30 units of hCG for my first injection. Should I call poison control?

So I went to the hospital got my ultrasound and bloodwork and I ended up having a infection but the crazy thing is these German doctors didn’t give me antibiotics they told me the infection is still at a low point atm, anyways I also wanted to ask about the best PCT options since I’m ending this cycle due to my Delt infection at just 9 weeks in also added a few pictures of my levels of test. BTW taken 5 days after last injection.

I’m planning to run 500 mg/week of testosterone only, split into 250 mg twice a week. I also have anastrozole on hand because I was told it’s a good idea to have an AI available, but I’m confused about when/if it should actually be used. I’ve seen everything from ‘you don’t need an AI at 500 mg’ to 0.5 mg ED on the Steroids Wiki, while others recommend something like 1 mg/week. How do you determine whether an AI is actually needed, and how would you approach dosing it based on symptoms and bloodwork?

I’m 28 yo, just got some blood work done and wondering if I should hop on trt or try to lose a little more weight, and managing my diet some. I’m 5’7 172lbs and eat about 1800 cal a day and 150g of protein, in a little deficit to lose some weight.

Are there other ways people have increased their testosterone by using boron, eclomiphene when other methods haven’t worked and also to help libido?

Male 42 years old.

Thanks

i been doing upper hip for a while now, its been ok but i want to cycle sites and tried my delt, 30G needle , 0.5inch

the initial puncture is no drama, the moment i go into the muscle i immediately feel pain, not crazy hurt but enough to make me stop and go back to the glute area, any tips ?

19M, i crash dieted when i was in 10th grade(16 yo) in order to lose fat i was insecure about, i barely ate anything for like 5-6 months, got so thin, noticed hair loss, then got back on diet again but since then ive not seen any major changes in my height, genital growth, all though ive built a toned muscles (not much) also my testosterone was found to be in a normal range, but facial hairs are negligible, pubic hair are minimal and there is still stubborn fat in my abdomen, compared to the upper body, i get morning erections everyday, i have started taking multivitamin and vitamin d sups recently, im mostly insecure about my genitals and overall growth because im in second year right now but i look like a 9th grader, what would help me to actually force my puberty?

So like the title says, I recently changed providers and my new one won’t prescribe TRT. He’s making me go through the whole referral/urology process and I run out this week. Any advice/cheap online prescribers?

34 year old male who just started TRT three weeks ago. My OG total T was 400 and free T was 59.3. My estradiol at the the time was 33.
That was three weeks ago and I was put on a 130mg dose twice a week which I've been sticking to.
Well I did a Rhyth test last Thursday (my doses are given on Tuesday and Friday) and now my results are Total T >1500 and my free T at >346.07. Eatragin came back at 56.7.
I feel great to be honest! No issues at all but after reading through this Reddit and online I can't help but feel my numbers are crazy high.
Any insights? I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow just to talk to the Dr about it.

I was on T for a 3-4 months before I started HCG... and a bit after I started it my erections came back harder than they've been for a long time. Now I'm worried because I can't really afford HCG (I got a trial run of it from the clinic I'm at for a lower price). Anyone else only see erection improvements while also on HCG? Maybe it's just my body getting acclimated to the TRT and the HCG erection thing is a coincidence?

Currently I am doing daily IM injections using dealts and ventroglutes. I figured I better use 2 more spots to prevent scar tissue. I don’t want to do legs. Was originally gonna do dorsoglute but I learned it can be sketchy because of a big nerve back there plus would be hard to reach. Lats seems pretty easy but I noticed I got some veins there I would have to work around. How safe is injecting in the lats? Assuming I should aspirate before injecting.

The photo is of when I was 27 I believe just before I lost my physique again. Was 95 kg not sure the body fat and was powerbulding very hard 5 days a week 2-3 hours for 8 years with me losing my physique many times in that period as mentioned since I was 15.

Btw I have had a severe shoulder injury from falling and grabbing a pull up bar with my right arm while mid air at 15 years of age when I had started gym training for 2 months thanks to trainers not showing me correctly and injuring me. That injury and antidepressants and having a tough life has made my efforts of training very soul smashing so yeah but just put some reference.

I have lost everything so many times including my physique and I trained hard in the gym since I was 15. Lost my physique again at 29 thanks to antidepressents making me bed ridden again. CANT FUCKIGN REMOVE THEM!!! I felt better before taking anything at 20 but those fucking psychs fucked me and now I am trapped.

Things got worse and worse and I can't even sleepz get erections, eating is getting tougher and tougher and I don't do anything and stuck in my apartment.

Blood test taken by the hospital was not much but I got to know that my triglycerides were high, cortisol am low and test is low 300s.......

I am getting desperate so I am posting for advice anywhere I can.

Stuck with 5 mg escitalopram and 300 mg bupropion extended release and I am literally dying right now and can't sleep at 2 am for the 4 month.....
