TRT what to expect.

[dickster]

After taking advice from some knowledgable sources on this forum, I have decided to go down the route of TRT, instead of cycling.

I have taken the plunge and made an appointment, during a telephone consultation it looks favourable that I will be accepted for treatment, even though my test levels are within NHS guidelines in the UK.

11 nmol/l
12 pmol/l

Can anyone share their experiences of what benefits I may expect.
Will I ever be able to come off TRT successfully in the future.
Thank you.

If you have actual low testosterone there is no coming off treatment. Yes, you can come off but you'll simply have low testosterone levels again and that begs the question, why would you come off?

TRT and cycling are two very different things, they're as different as a car and a plane. Both use an engine but both work in different ways.

TRT can be a royal pain in the ass at time. Always, remembering to do your injections and take your HCG etc. That said, it's completely changed my life. I feel SOOO much better both physically and mentally. I'm less angry and tired. I'm sleeping better and getting stronger all the time. My sex life is 1000 times better and I feel like I'm 18 again in the bedroom. I'm more focused at work and have more desire to be successful. I had to come off it for a few weeks because I messed up and fell behind on my physical so I couldn't get my prescription refilled. During this time I felt like crud which was a great reminder of how important it is to stay on this.

Yes, TRT is for life so it's a tough decision to make.

Less is more. Will help you avoid side effects and additional medications.

I've heard people say that before "TRT is for life so it's a tough decision to make" but in my opinion it's a pretty clear cut easy decision. If you have low testosterone and the symptoms that go with it, start TRT and then you don't have low testosterone anymore. Or option two, continue to have low testosterone and the symptoms. Seems like an easy choice to me.

I think most people who ask about coming off are thinking ahead in case they can't get it anymore, doctor decision, financial reasons and so forth. I understand where they're coming from because I asked the same question prior to starting TRT. but now its not even an option, I'd rather die that go back to where I was.

I agree. My fear is that the government will step in and say that we can't have it and then the shit will hit the fan. Financial reasons I will ALWAYS put money aside for TRT regardless of my financial situation. In a last resort I would buy it illegally and self administer if it became illegal. My only guess is that it will gain in popularity and we'll see MAJOR breakthrus in the adminstration of the Testosterone which will make things even easier.

Let's say for some reason you cannot get the testosterone you need anymore. What happens then? You go back to having low testosterone . It doesn't make sense to suffer from it when you don't have to. Now if your circumstances change in the future, that would really stink but I would never tell myself I'll suffer now because I might suffer later.

As said above, if you need TRT there is no logical reason for forgoing TRT. You are not protecting your health, you're only damaging yourself. Long term low levels are extremely unhealthy.
