Hey Guys,
I wanted to quickly take the time to share my experience with TRT thus far 6 weeks in and what I have been doing with success.
Quick back story, I started feeling extremely anxious in Oct. of 2014. Fatigue and depression later followed.. Soon there after I lost all libido and had trouble with getting full erections (extremely alarming at 28 years old). The volume of my ejaculate was almost non existent and would dribble at best after climax. Went to two doctors both with varying opinions. Below are condensed version of the lab results to reference their opinions. Doctor 1 said good to go, no issues with anything. Doctor 2 said all my testosterone was bound up and was half of what the low end of normal should be for free testosterone. Granted, he did say the test wasnt 100% accurate but noticed in his practice when those figures increased (% of free testosterone), patients sex drive dramatically improved. He also warned me it was tougher to treat this sort of TRT from his experiences but suggested a 3 month trial run of TRT to see how i felt. He mentioned my cholesterol might be genetically low and could possibly be involved with hormone production. I tossed this idea around for close to 6 months before submitting and trying. I have never done any form of AAS, so this is my first time with this stuff.
Doctors prescribed protocol, now 6 weeks in:
140 mg of test cyp. split into to 70mg doses, mon/thursday
250 units of HCG MON WED FRI (waited until a month of strait T before starting, only been doing for 2 weeks).
Armoasin to follow if needed. As of now, he doesnt want to add until lab results back because I do feel so much better
Now, its important to note that I understand my total T wasnt low but what I can tell you for certain is im very familiar with my body and something was off. Id go two weeks without ejaculating in attempts to build up some volume and distance with my ejaculate, with no success (only way I could decide if it was all in my head). People mentioned it was in my head, try SSRIs to get therapy etc. So, take what I say with a grain of salt.
Here is what I noticed:
After 1 week, morning erection in FULL force. Would have erections even after naps
After 2 weeks, much improved workouts. No strength increase but endurance improved in gym dramatically. libido slightly improving, erection quality slightly improving. no noticeable benefit in ejaculate
After 3 weeks, sleep improved, fatigue slowly subsiding, mood improved, anxiety cut by about half, loss of interest/depression slowly subsiding. continued improvement in erection and libido. no noticeable benefit in ejaculate
After 4 weeks, fatigue almost completely eliminated, anxiety about 25% of what it was, depression about 50% of what it was. libido full force, erection continuing to improve, ejaculate volume almost double. gained about 3 lbs
After 5 weeks/ HCG starts. Fatigue barely present bound with energy! (fucking amazing), anxiety about 10%, depression about 25%, libido fucking through the roof, super man boners once again!!! ejaculate volume 5 times that of what it had been and setting land speed records with ejaculate velocity!
After 6 weeks. Fatigue is gone, anxiety is about 5% depression about 10%, libido amazing, erection quality at 12 noon, huge loads, poking out eyes with distance on my load, about 6lbs heavier, 2% reduction in BF (ive been on a caloric deficit and still managed to add weight while losing bf.. bbing paradise!!)
I will soon be getting blood results back to check in with everything. Doc things my RBC might be high so ill need to be donating blood. He wants to make sure my free test has improved and may take down the total amount of test depending on what the free % is at. He is almost certain that my total test will be too high and ideally would like a lower dose. He mentioned it takes a higher dose to get the free % higher, so ill report back. I just felt obligated to share a positive story with Test. I am a very empirical individual, i believe in science and want to let those know who have been told its all in their head to really do their research. Im sure there are those who may believe this is all placebo but understand there are things at play (morning woods and ejaculate) that i have zero mental control over.
