Nice post Epic.... But would you please change that avatar for Pete's sake? That thing disturbs me.

The variable that really sits at the top for me is running blood work and understanding how your body is responding to HRT. Flats comment about running labs frequently when you first start out is spot-on! Awhile back, I got a PM from a member who wanted to start his TRT right out of the gate with some rather high doses. I obviously advised against it until his program gets dialed in and balanced, which is only attainable by running lab work. He told me that he can't do blood work, so that's not an option.
IMO, not running lab work in your initial phase is like driving with a blindfold. As many of you reading this know, having your hormones depleted or out of balance can pretty much turn your life upside down. HRT/TRT gives you the opportunity, or 2nd chance if you will, to get your life back again. However, like the driving analogy, it must be given the utmost respect or it can just as easily backfire and make conditions worse than what you experienced prior to jumping on HRT. If you can't or won't do labs then you should probably give some reconsideration with your plan to start HRT to begin with. It's a lifetime commitment so it's crucial to start off on the right foot! You'll be glad you did!
