What lead to you guys now being on TRT??

[sitries]

iv just done a 12 month cycle of test with a few bursts of other things. pct starts next week and im obviously hoping i recover from this stupid cycle.

just wondered how most of you guys ended up on trt. was it due to stupidly long cycles?? high doses? or just a natural thing??

help appreciated - thanks

Natural thing for me.

it's a natural process for most men at one point or another. i've done a few cycles in my 20's (i'm 42 now) and i asked my doc the same thing. he said if it was caused by a cycle then you basically never recover from that cycle. for me, it took another 15 years to see symptoms of low T so in my case it was most likely an age related issue.

I just started feeling off, some blood work showed low levels but not out of range. It took a few more years before I fell below the "correct" range. At that point I had most of the symptoms. I never did any cycles prior to my diagonises, but have been reading some material lately about the long term effects of acutane which I was on in my teens.


I'll never know for sure what caused my issue.

[ottomaddox]

Mine was caused by a side effect of taking a long term pain medication.

I'm not on, but the reason I have been forced to consider is steroid abuse during my teens

Hate to admit this but it was the scratching....

Think Otto just told me why i am but the symtoms were lethargy, insomnia, apathy, lack of interest in sex, night sweats, lack of concentration and memory loss. Did a WebMD search by symptom and it came back as low test.

I did a cycle, then came off and during PCT couldn't keep a boner for my gf so then i just went on hrt i'm 21

charlie, sound like you should of waited a bit longer dude!!! ur 21 !!! you should of left it until well after pct!! if you stop now and do a full pct you can avoid any long term hrt. do you not want to have kids???
