Looking to restart my TRT what is the best option?

Looking to restart my TRT what is the best option?

Blood work and weekly injections of test cyp

Could use a ton more background info though...

I was diagnosed with Low t at 25 years old, started with the gel, moved to test eth and then found a lab and did cyp for 6 months, levels did great. I lost my connection and have been off for over a year. I am new to the forums and my wife is the one who really dug for me to get back on it.

SO, in short, Im looking to get back on it, my labs are shit, im worn out over nothing, my brain cant think, im depressed, and thats not normal for me at all! I dont even have the energy to go to the gym, or even work out at home.

Let me know if there is anything else I can put up to help figure this out! Thanks

[SampsonandDelilah]

Your test is LOW. I would find a good hormone doctor and get started. If you go on your own, I’d start around 100 a week. I’d also visit the TRT section and read up

[Honkey_Kong]

Yeah I would look for a good doctor to monitor it. If you're looking to do a cycle, I'd hold off the cycle for a few months after you start your trt.
