Starting TRT...At 23...Here we Go!

[HiLifee]

Ello!
After receiving planny advice and tips form my original post last week in the anabolic steroid forum, and thinking over my options for TRT or wanting to do a cycle first. I have decided to think of the longevity of my live and go the TRT route and get a plan setup before running any sort of cycle. I went to meet an Urologist today to talk about TRT and at the end of the convorsation(2 hours long) we have decided to start TRT next Monday. He originally wanted to do 150MG EOW, and I talked him into doing 100mg EW at the advice from others on TRT. And he accepted! I will be on 100mg Test Cyp EW, and he will write a script for Arimidex starting from the 3rd week after my lab results come back from being on Test for 3 weeks.

Some of you may ask why starting TRT so young? Well im 23 and was born with 1 testicle. Lifetime test levels have been below 400, and declined to where I am now at ~160. I have never had a test level over 400. So the doctor decided that the TRT should start sooner than later since I will most likely be on this for life. I am excited to see what my lifestyle and experience will be on TRT(Libido, Gains, Cutting, Energy Levels etc). I will also be on a liver assist. After the 3 week labs he will check in with me after 6 months! So im thinking either ride out the TRT or just blast after the 3 weeks for a 12-15 week cycle and have levels return before check in time!

Any advice, questions that I should ask doctor, or info on anything i should request in addition to Arimidex/Test?
Mahalo all!

Any advice? Don't blast after three weeks. Low and slow man. It takes months for some guys to dial it in. Don't be that knucklehead who comes back in 6 months complaining of gyno, acne, and a limp pecker when you knowingly approached TRT all wrong.

Read Megatrons sticky, then read it again.

Wow, I'm honestly surprised that it took so long to prescribe TRT. You're one of the bona-fide cases OP, where TRT at a pubescent age is listed as a method of treatment. Do you lack some secondary androgenic characteristics that puberty should have provided?

I ask as I have a friend that had a testicle removed at a very young age, and they put him on TRT at like 13 as he wasn't developing at all. I think he had a total testosterone of around 110ng/dL, but that was rightfully fixed.

I totally agree with Jim; don't hop into anything yet above TRT, you'll be surprised at just how your body reacts on TRT doses alone. That, and you want to let things develop at an even pace. Going from hypogonadal to supraphysiological is VERY tough on your body.

Good advice here hope it gets sorted out.

Listen to Jim and Halfwit, my story is very close to yours, only I started at 30.

Well I may have two testicles, one of them has a begin cyst so it appears only one works. Also have done other stuff known to destroy leydig cells, but besides all that..............

My levels were 149ng/dl and I was thinking about running a cycle first myself just like you then focus on TRT after, and I am so glad I did not. First... it takes some adjusting of things to get where you need to be so if you run a cycle prior this is going to throw everything off, I'm still trying to get my e2 right and I've been on TRT for 9 or 10 weeks now I think.

And then foremost, you will see awesome physique changes with just TRT... once you have a normal healthy TT you will have increased protein synthesis and your metabolism will speed up so things will change for the better I promise! I've been mind blown on how much my physique has improved in this time frame honestly, to the point where people at the gym ask what I'm up too. So since you have never had a good test level, like myself, I'm sure you fill find TRT sufficient to your needs for awhile.

Also a huge change in mood, libido, confidence, all that stuff.

I know I should wait. Its just me being greedy. And I know I need to be mature about this, especially since this is for life. I had my first pin on friday by the doctor and it was quick and painless. Until that night when my ass hurt like no other, Saturday it was sore nearly the entire day aswell.
Today is Sunday and I dont know if it placebo effect or not but I had the best pump that I have had EVER.

Hello ALL!
So I am coming back in order to seek some peoples advice how how to get the doctor to prescribe me HCG. Being 22 years old, I am thinking of having children in the future, and am hoping to get the doctor to prescribe the HCG so I dont have total testicular shutdown. My doctor is a very policy type of guy and does not really want to give me HCG. I know that if I can find some research on HCG to bring to his office that he might prescribe me HCG. I have been looking online, and research journals(Thank god im in graduate school and have free access) and have mostly just found HCG in regards to other things. Hopefully someone has some links to some evidence that I could arm myself with for my next visit to the doctors.

Oh and still the best workouts of my life. Wide Grip weighted pullups for full contraction with 80 pounds went smooth for 4 sets of 8. Usually I have to muscle it a bit but today it was gracious. No additional caloric intake either. Placebo effect or not it is an amazing feeling.
