re: Low T Therapy

Our bodies have a way of stopping the production of things if it notices that its getting it elsewhere. So, I'd be worried that your balls are going to stop producing T on their own long-term.

Endocrinologist and Urologist said you stop taking it, you go back to whatever levels you were at. All I’m telling you is what he told me.

Did they say if your balls stop producing T while on therapy, and what that means?

It sounds corny but I know enough doctors and pharma reps to not trust these bastards when it comes to prescriptions. At least not without verifying. I always do my own research and ask questions.

Dr keeps telling me never heard of those symptoms.

Yeah bullshite.


Your doctor is experimenting on you.

’ve legit never heard of anyone over dosing on testosterone

While it may not have been the direct cause, google Dallas McCarver. Bodybuilder with supposedly absurd test levels. We really don’t know what the lifelong effects of this stuff will be.

People should do what they wanna do, but damn it seems so unnatural to me. Like just eat right, quit drinking, and lift heavy weights and monitor what happens over 3 months of consistency before sticking a needle in your butt for the next 60 years

That doesn't work for everyone. Sure they get in better shape but there are really bad sides from low t. You keep saying unnatural, so is ever medicine but all this is doing is replacing what your body is no longer making. If your body didn't produce enough blood, is it unnatural to get blood transfusions? What about bp medicine, cholesterol medicine etc?

Dallas was taking over 10g a week, please don't compare legit trt to what he was doing

Legit trt will give you legit levels for your age group, not above. Note I said age group, not the bracket given. So for me being late 30s it would be stupid for me to be in the 1200 range line a 18 year old.

Should take minimum one shot a week, better to take two.

To the person who said your doctor said you go back to previous levels, find a new doctor as your is a dumbass.

And of course your balls shrink and you stop producing your own test.

Before anyone goes on this, you should be very educated in the subject. This shite is not something to play with. You should self medicate, you be drawing bloods regularly, and it should be through a doctor that knows about this. Not a general practitioner. Most hormone clinics are dumb fricks.

If in Houston I suggest Baylor medical, some of the best in the world. If your doctor doesn't go through a battery of test to try and figure out why you aren't producing test, not just give you the shot. Shot should be last resort and used if the problem can't be fixed.

I know it seems like more people are on the shot and they are and it's mainly through figuring this kind of stuff out and the consequences of low test levels. Just like women and hormone treatments. Most men should try exercise and diet first but some like myself well we need it as our body just doesn't produce it anymore for one reason or another. Before men just suffered in silence.

Oh btw trt sucks after years and isn't like doing a cycle. Doing shots thru scar tissue is for the birds. But much better than before.

Partially true. You need to use HCG to jump start natural production.

I would only do it if you have legit low testosterone (not just slightly below average, but low). Once you are on it you are supposed to take injections for life, like you can never stop. What do you do if you go traveling for longer than a week? Bring needles with you on vacation? I guess the cream would work. But it seems kind of scary to be completely reliant on getting a weekly injection for the rest of your life

I would at least get a hormone panel done first and exhaust all other avenues (diet, exercise) before going down that road permanently

Clomid three times a week for awhile and see if you can kick start the nuts. If not then consider it...if done having kids. If I were to go the TRT route I would go injectable at least once a week. I wouldn’t do the every two week crap. You crash a lot by week two

You're very knowledgeable about this stuff. You should do an AMA sometime.

What are symptoms of high testosterone
