correct. when you get on TRT you are getting on for life. this isnt a 12 week steroid cycle
Ehhhh.. not really true.
I was on for two years then got off for two years. Now back on.
Nothing changed. Levels went back to pre when I got off

Be careful. Testosterone is the main source of prostate enlargement.

risks are fairly low but the study in American Journal of Medicine found 21% increase risk of strokes and heart attacks...

Umm, I think I’m missing something. If your levels went back to their prior level when you stopped supplementing, doesn’t that support the notion that you should remain on the supplements?

Sorry about your low T baw

Small nuts make your dick appear bigger baw. If you ain’t worried about kids, them shrinking may not be a bad thing

I’ve been doing the pellets for about 4-5 years. Yes they are more expensive and insurance does not cover them. The first year I done injections, but my highs and lows were too much of a roller coaster. Once I started the pellets; mine testosterone leveled out with more of a long curve instead of a spike and fall like injections! Now, folks that do the injections weekly, may stay more leveled out than the once every two week crowd. My doctor that delivers the pellets monitors my blood annually; my family physician monitors my blood every 6 months. Quality of life is very important to me and since I started the pellets; my quality has grown. Now for the “you’re a fat as crows”. My “T” was very low; don’t know why; but I was not obese, a little heavy for 6’2” and 245; had a lil beer belly. Now 6’2” at 225 but muscle with a little fat. I’m 58 and will be 59 in a couple months. I will continue the pellets and enjoy life without the weekly/bi-weekly needle sticks and the knots that come with the needle pricks over time!

What are your thoughts on taking a low dose of HCG with TRT to keep the nuts in check? So basically TRT, HCG, Anastrozole combo
Now your talking. If you plan on having children, HCG is a must. If you're not it is unnecessary. If you are overweight or even if you are not there is a tendency for your estrogen levels to elevate when your test. levels elevate. That is another reason why getting your labs done is important. The Anastrozole is prescribed for that. Go to the health/ fitness board and ask for advice.
They will help you. Also go online and educate yourself. It's well worth it. Best of luck.

I feel like this is a scam
It’s a profitable industry, and the benefits are overstated.
Advertise to men who are insecure about getting older that low T may be responsible for [insert symptom] (the list is intentionally long) and put their money into your pocket.
None of this is to say that hypogonadism isn’t a thing.

I’m not fully on board with the clinics though they are easy. I’m trying to find a doc that will provide prescription test as it’s covered by insurance and much cheaper. I’ve been looking for a month without success.
My PCP prescribed me testosterone replacement therapy. What insurance do you have as mine doesn't cover it.
BUT my Dr. hooked me up w/good rx. Only $30 for refills opposed to $85 as, again, it's not covered by insurance.

I started doing biweekly injections about 8 weeks ago.
I’m looking at the possibility of injections in consultation with my PCP and his NP. Energy. Stamina. Mood/concentration etc. Weight is climbing again. 2nd knee replacement in the near future, etc.
It sounds like it’s been very effective for you.
Technically biweekly can mean twice weekly or, most commonly, every two weeks.
Are you injecting every two weeks? That seems to themedical personnel’s first take on this for me.

Twice a week. Monday and Friday. Anastrozole on wednesday.15 mg of dhea daily.
My dhea levels were lower, my estradol levels were high (being fat does that).
I definitely just feel better. Have more energy. Sleep better. And muscle fatigue is much shorter. Appetite is something that has to be kept in check though.
I just log all of my calories now.

My PCP thought I was crazy to even ask about testing my testosterone. Then that came back sub 325. I've been lifting 3x, daily walks, and pushing for 7-7.5 hours of sleep. No alcohol and great diet. It is now sub 350 and I'm still exhausted all the time. Urologist tells me I am exhausted because I wake up at 4am, I nearly told him to frick off.
