How old were you?

What were your test levels at?

How much do you take a week?

Did you notice a big difference in mood,energy,sex drive?

Did you get it prescribed by a GP or did you get it on your own?
 
how old were you? 60

what were your test levels at? circa 250

how much do you take a week? initially liberal amounts of t cream, after 5 months on cream now on 50ml test e e3d plus 0.5 arimdex e3d. Injections are infinitely better.

did you notice a big difference in mood,energy,sex drive? yes. Depression was the first victory. Then came brain fog and memory, then came energy, then came libido.

did you get it prescribed by a gp or did you get it on your own? prescribed

very low 4's
200mg/week
5 weels in. Initially felt great - then kinda sluggish, starting to come on again a little. Libido definitely up.
wish I could get it prescribed!
 
Diagnosed at 41 by urologist after years of strange depression like symptoms
TT 239
Currently on 100mg/wk

Feel great!
 
32 or 33
TT 329
by GP, after him screwing around with creams I was down to 187 TT
switched
currently 200 mg E5d test levels good, estrogens always a struggle, on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 5-6 years now, Would like higher libido, but is better then it was, lots of other improvements, kidneys, kidney stone ( non since TRT) blood pressure down some. Insomnia better, not gone. Honestly at higher levels things get better, just that dam estrogen.
 
43
TT was 420
started at 100mg.wk now doing 240mg/wk broken up into 80mg M/W/F
by local anti aging clinic Dr.
body comp and strength got a lot better. went from 35% BF to 20% BF in about 18 months.
Libido is always great. been having on and off ED issues despite great libido.
 
38
288
Started at 200mg/week (TT was too high at 1,692)
Backed it down to 160mg/week
Improved mood, less irritability, better energy and libido
I tend to drift in and out of the "sweet spot" always fine tuning
Been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 6 months
Started with online Clinic but it was way too pricey to maintain.
Found local Doc who would prescribe all my gear (& monitor labs, etc.)

Not a big difference...noticed that I now can actually build muscles when I go to the gym. Never could before. Also sleep better now.

Did you get it prescribed by a GP or did you get it on your own? GP diagnosed me but wouldnt treat me just wanted me to keep waiting and do more tests. i could tell he wasnt up to date on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and its sad when the patien knows more than the doc. i went to Max Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and im now with IMT/ ULV.

How old were you? 47

What were your test levels at? just over 400

How much do you take a week? 200mg

Did you notice a big difference in mood,energy,sex drive? No, not at all. I mainly started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) becuase of low libido - 7 months later and its no better. Maybe slightly more energy, but so subtle its almost unoticable.

56
free test 68
I did a 500 mg/wk cycle and just cruised from there at 200 mg/wk (100 2x/wk)
My only regret is I didnt do it sooner, but better late than never will work for me here.
Its so sad that more people arent made aware of this. Drs will usually prescribe deppression meds to men AND women when all along low test is the culprit. They will tell u your test levels are normal "for ur age", well FUCK that I dont want to be normal I want to be superman and thats what I am now

Did you notice a big difference in mood,energy,sex drive? Yes, but still trying to dial in. E2 is through the roof. Will probably move to 60mg 2x/wk, with .5mg liquidex 2x/wk as well.

Did you get it prescribed by a GP or did you get it on your own? GP for the test.

GP.
 
33

330's before testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). 700's after

1 cc test cyp a week

I feel MUCH better over all. More energy, I get stronger in the gym I noticed much frequently. I have noticed that I can be a little girly from time to time though. I might look into seeking a estrogen blocker on my next visit. I would think that 1 CC a week wouldn't have an effect like that though. Sex drive is much higher! Can be an annoyance to the wifey at times, lol. I would seriously get nasty 3 times a day if I could :)
 
What some after number for T counts? Im 29 started at 210 and 173. whats a number to look for I realize everybody will be different.

How much do you take a week? 75 e3.5d

Did you notice a big difference in mood,energy,sex drive? Off and on, mainly on

Did you get it prescribed by a GP or did you get it on your own? GP pres 100mg a week, Dr. Z the rest.

I have been taking 150mg (.75cc) a week, and my last peak TT was 1284. My E2 was also 84 :eek: so I am going to 120mg (60mg e3.5D) and start an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to see if I can flatten things out a bit.
