TRT Gains, Life, Fitness and Q/A. ?

[Profion9k]

Hey guys
Just wanted to show some progress with pictures, since starting my TRT.

Pre-TRT:
- Tired
- Sleeping 2-5times a day
- Depressed feeling without being a depressive person "Im a survivor, fighter and warrior witin every aspect"
- Lack of mental clarity
- Muscleloss and strength
- Beardloss
- Fat storage
- not being myself " I was not the person I once was pre /testicular operation, chemo and sugery
---------
On TRT:
- Week 1-3 I have amazing energy levels, week 4-5 abit tired and at week 6 im off... Reinjection of Nebido 1000ml
- I have a full nights sleep "Dream about being powerfull, winning, achievieng"
- I am hitting the gym again, i have started running, biking, and cardio training. Seeing friends and even doing random activies by desire... Positive again
- My brain fog is gone. I speak fluent, very social, direct and fast actions, i can think, dream, and filosophiles about life again.
- Musclemass and strength has been increased simply from TRT, I am now gaining muscle and strength in the gym again... Something that was impossible before
- My beard patches have grown back! This means alot since I dident have any hair for about 1year from chemo.
- Fat has decreased. I guess my T to E ratio is proper now. I am able to do other activies wich have boosted my fat burning again.
- I am 90% of who I was before. TRT has saved my life... Pre-TRT i was 45% mentally and psycially as if life wasent worth anyting... Im happy now.

Side-effect from TRT:
- Lower libido
- Worse Erection strength
- Lust for sex is less then pre trt. Lust is less and the penis sensation has decreased to some degree.
^I wish i could fix these some how.

I want to yáll to notice this was last resort to start TRT. I tried to recovery naturally 8months after chemo/surgery and my testosteron levels ended up mid-range 10-15nmol wich simply isent worth anything comming from a professional background within fitness! My levels now are at 40nmol - 20nmol where i start to feel low T symptoms then I need a reinjection to feel properly again! I am diagnosed primary hypogondonal by high levels of LH/FSH and a lowish testosteron... Nevertheless the symptoms were true...

As for now, i still feel like i have to fine tune my TRT.

Sounds like you're doing well. About the sexual issues, what does your bloodwork look like? Especially E2(Estradiol). When I started my treatment my sex drive went through the roof...until my E2 rose too high and then it went back down. I'd take some arimidex, crash my E2, but damn the erections and sex drive were crazy. I had to make some adjustments, but things are really good now. So for me, it's linked with my E2. Could be the same with you. It's worth looking into. Start with the bloodwork and see where that is at then maybe try to make some adjustments. My first recommendation is maybe pickup some Cialis. It's great even in small doses and could do the trick for you. For me, it gave me rock hard erections and it definitely raised my sex drive despite what the literature says and this could possibly be because it pushed my E2 down a little into a better T/E ratio.

I looked at my bloodwork yesterday and actually seems like that my hydroxyprogesteron is way low "0.10 where the normal range was 0.60-1.20" did alittle research yesterday and low progesteron was linked to libido/erection quality/sensation and some brainfog aswell?

Is it possible to raise progesteron naturally, if not I have heard that it is possible to use some creams that increase it? Would a testosteron gel like Tostran 2% not convert into some progesteron and estrogene?

My Estrogen was 0.10 believe normale range is <0,20 nmol/L about the 25s.
