    How to avoid needing TRT when older

    Im 19 right now have low test right now so want to cycle.

    1: heard that if you do it right your test cycles will stay high after your done your cycle. like I take 500mg a week and after im done the cycle my test is at 500mg. is this true?
    2: since i have low t right now does that mean im going to need trt anyways when im older?

    THanks for any help people

    How was your low T diagnosed? What's the current level?

    Supplementing with exogenous testosterone will remedy low testosterone but it won't cure it. Like MuscleInk asked, how was your condition determined? Are you just guessing or have you had yourself looked at? Low test at your age is rare but it does happen. If there's severe damage, it's unlikely it can be cured, and if that's the case you will need TRT. However, recovery is possible at your age if the circumstances are right. You simply need to explain the circumstances.

    I went to the doctor and the tests came back at 350mg or mcg. i said that was low that others my age and younger on internet forums are much higher but didnt get anything from the doc.
    i havent cycled before but have been working out 3years now. what i have noticed is i will lose strength very quickly if i take a break. and i can overtrain very easily too.
    WHat is recovery? is it true that taking roids increases your natural levels once your done a cycle?

    I doubt your doctor gave you a testosterone reading in milligrams or micrograms. Perhaps your total reading was 350ng/dl, which would be low for your age, no doubt, but still slightly above what is considered low testosterone in most medical circles. Unfortunately, below 300ng/dl is considered the marking point in most cases. i say this is unfortunate because it doesn't take into account where levels may have been prior...what is normal for that individual.

    As for your other question, no steroids will not increase your natural levels once you're done with a cycle.

    If I was you I would most def get a second opinion.DONT jump on a aas cycle.You need to find out why your levels are so low.Steroids are not your answer.Play it safe bud.

    You need to have complete blood work done including full thyroid panels, LH/FSH, Cortisol, Vit D, DHEA, etc through a competent doctor. You should be at the top of the charts right now so we need to find the reason you're low and fix it, not band aid it via AAS. Cycling now is not the answer and will only cause more problems than it is worth, including some side effects that can be debilitating for a lifetime.

    Many things can cause low T including hypothyroid, pathologies, high cortisol levels, testicular trauma, etc. There is a sticky in the HRT Forum titled "Finding a TRT Physician" and it includes proper blood work. Take a look at it and get it done asap. Post your results here on THIS thread so we can review it for you before you go back to the doc. Keep in mind that most docs just do not understand hormones so you must self-educate as much as possible.

    Good luck,

    kel

    Many things can affect T Levels including high Cortisol, low Thyroid, etc. So you need to diagnose why you are low and fix the problem....do recommend bloodwork as posted above.
