Hi all. I just wanted to officially start a TRT log now that my first injection of testosterone is flowing through my body. I plan to update this thread with my experiences and how I am feeling as I go through the intial stages of my TRT journey. I want to thank Megatron for being so helpful and putting my mind at ease multiple times.
Back story: I am 25 y/o, my test levels are 300 ng/dl, I had testicular cancer when I turned 18 and lost my right ball, went through chemo for 4 months, and now, 6 years later, everything is fine except for low testosterone levels. I have always felt the effects of low T ever since I had cancer and I am sick and tired of it.
I am tired, irritable, highly sensitive, awful memory, difficulty putting on any muscle (I have been lifting consistently for almost 2 years and my strength has barely increased), and my sense of well being is plummeting by the day.
My protocol at the moment is 50 mg of testosterone injected subcutaneously every 3.5 days with a 31g 5/16'' insulin syringe. In one month, after my initial blood work, I plan to start 250 iu of HCG every 3.5 days. I want to remain fertile so I can have kids down the road.
Anyways, first injection went pretty good. I drew and injected with the 31g and it was not dull at all when injecting. I went into my left glute, with my left non dominate hand. I can not believe how painless the injection was, though the plunger took a while to completely go down. I have minor stinging on my glute when I sit, but it has been 30 minutes and the pain is almost gone. I plan to do my quad next time, and then maybe my delt. I am beyond excited to start seeing my symptoms go away and I can really enjoy life.
Well, that is it for now, will update periodically!
