Long story short I now take testosterone replacement therapy. My doctor made me come off for a month and my levels are 75. I just started back on my cyp about 8 days ago. how long is it going to be before I'm not incredibly depressed and tired all the time again?
Is there anything my GP can call in that will help me until the cyp starts working? I'm taking 200 mg a week of cyp. I'm so miserable right now. I've been dealing with extreme thyroid issues and now this on top of it all

Which came first, thyroid or low T? Hypthyroidism can cause hypogonadism.
Why on earth did your doctor make you come off TRT? Can't wait to har this.
200 mgs per week is high end trt. Most will never need that amount and it can lead to other issues down the road. Hematocrit, estrogen, etc. Are you at least splitting your dose to 100 mgs twice weekly?
How long until you feel better is really up to the individual. We'd be guessing.

Damn, what were you before. Are you even functional with levels at 75. Sex Drive has to be near zero. There's adolescent boys with more testosterone than you have. Anxious too to hear why he took you off TRT for only a month. Maybe your levels were out of wack and needed to do something immediateOriginally Posted by Dobie-BOY

^^^ Seconding Kel's advice on 2x,/ week injections. It smooths out the trough and as Kel said, you probably could lower your dosage. Lowering your dosage = stashing some back for a "buffer" for future use should you want to blast a little or if there's a hiccup @ the pharmacy..

Thanks fellas.. he took me off trt for a month because I was at 1500. I explained to him that I had ran out of cyp and so I had some old prop (which must have been over 100 mg/ ml) that I was using to keep me afloat until I got back in with a doctor. I begged him not to take me off for that long and told him it was going to destroy my life. He obviously didn't know anything about prop and didn't think it was going to matter that much. When I went back to get my test levels again and they were 75 he said "you were right". It was as close to saying I am wrong I have ever heard a doctor come LOL.

Are those your legs dude? Are you going to enter a horse race or something? LOL
The good news is I had some leftover HCG from like 6 years ago. It was a year past the expiration date but I started it and I can tell it's working. My voice quit cracking and went back to normal. I really expect to be feeling better soon now. Thank GOD!!

I know stuff last way past expiration, but this hcg didn't need to be reconstituted. Their wasn't a seperate powder and bs water. It said to store between 3-8 celcius though and I had it stored at room temperature all that time. Do you still think it's any good? I'm using it, but just wonder what the chances are of it being any good since I didn't refrigerate it

That's common for some brands of HCG to already be reconstituted. Hucog HP is a common one that comes in that form. As long as it isn't cloudy, I would use it.

Man, I haven't wanted sex for 3 years now and it don't got nothin to do with my test levels. Hell, I'm scared of sex now. Idk, if I'll ever want sex or another relationship with a woman ever again.

[QUOTE=Dobie-BOY;7543190]i feel for you man, i cant imagine not wanting sex...that's the spice of life...the reward for all the hard work you put in at work and in life...i literally live for it!...my wife and i look forward to the weekend so we can take a few shots of whisky and then push each others "reset" button so to speak...in fact its the secret to a happy and long marriage imho...it helps that we are still crazy for one another after 28 yrs together as well...

[QUOTE=Dobie-BOY;7543190]Same boat. Been on hrt forever. Tried to reset but my balls make zero. Very self conscious. Then have to explain I'm on hrt. Could always be worse!

Congratulations man. 28 years is a long time and to still be in love with each other after that long is nearly unheard of these days. Good for you. I'm glad to hear somebody made it
