Beginning TRT - an update
Have begun TRT after being somewhat hesitant to start I am 58, weigh 170lb, and in okay shape. I have spent a fair
bit of time reading here to understand what is involved, esp from GD, Bass, Vett, HRT, Kel and others as well as the
stickies. Fellows, your contributions are invaluable thank you. Not being able to sleep well, and the lack of libido & EQ
has triggered the green light. Total T has been in the 400 350 range (350 now) for the last 7 months. Took the second
of 0.4ml of 50mg/ml T prop (which will be EOD = 70mgT/wk.) I inject 0.2ml into each love handle - which are not all
that easy to see, as I am quite lean. Using 0.2 ml of 50iu/0.1 ml hcg nasal spray daily, but will switch to Corion/ Novarel 875iu/wk. Will test in 6 weeks from now. Baseline total T (June 8) is 354 ng/dL and free T is 50 pg/ml, so the
Ts are about half what they ought to be. Will monitor E2. March 15 blood test was 30 pg/ml & June 8 was 23pg/ml. It
peaked at 40, after which I have been taking the well known product at 0.2 gm/wk a very low dose just to take the top off it. Have been taking 5000iu/d Vit D - level is now 56 ng/ml (Ref range 50 90 LEF) & also taking 50mg zinc/d.
May then consider DHEA/preg . So, I am on the way guys. I guess I will get used to the routine. I hope good sleep and libido/ EQ arrive soon. Will keep yall posted.. J. Feel free to comment/ advise.
