    I wish I had a choice to get off... Damn half the people on this thread are self diagnosed.

    TRT lead me to AAS, would have never really considered it but since i was already injecting test and having regular bloodwork and be under my doctors supervision I said fuck it and went for it and have enjoyed a cycle here and there. At this point I like some low dose tren EOD for 8-10 weeks and keep my TRT dose the same.

    My body will never produce test again for the rest of my life, there is no recovery or pct for me. I'm thankful to have somehow been blessed with one child and recently found out I am sterile.

    Maybe I'm just bitter because of my circumstances and how I got here but reading that people just decide when they feel low and run whatever dose they feel like, for fun so to speak, blows my mind. Don't get me wrong, I've made great gains with TRT in size, strength, mass and endurance. My body fat has never been lower. Add in the tren and its really phenomenonal. BUT even with that being said I'd give almost anything for a normal functioning body.

    I don't mean any offense to those running their own self diagnoses TRT protocol, I'm just bitter I don't have a choice.

As long as I am able to maintain good lab values I will remain on TRT. It is common for people to second guess themselves. I do it all the time in other avenues of life. You just have to make a decision and role with it. Life is full of choices and there is no handbook out there that gives all the answers.
    Very true, thanks for sharing.

    Well, imagine not having the option to implement TRT. How do you think you'd feel then? Imagine if you just had to suffer for decades with low T and all the other maladies that come from it?

    Exactly. I don't know how well I would have endured the unending fatigue for much longer. My values were low and I felt like I was slowly decaying. If I recall correctly your values were horrendously low. I don't see how you managed to function.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    I would have had to walk away from aas if I hadn't. Post pct my levels were so low I had ED, I was yelling at the drop of a hat, getting in arguments with my girlfrien, and making her feel insufficient because I went from sex three times a day every day sometimes, to no sex whatsoever. I started slipping back into my little pity party and couldnt get motivation to do a damn thing but I had to work hard and that made me all the angrier.

    I had trouble settling in with tren e, but my attitude was stellar compared to what it was post pct. No sense in living like that.

    I still had tremendous energy and motivation with my levels being under 200. In fact, TRT has been since the start a major cause of fatigue.

    I guess just like most drugs and treatment is more like a trade, you sacrifice some aspects of your functioning for others.

    Despite the negative sides I can't neither say I have anything to regret, I had to accept TRT because my brain was just not functioning in that condition.

    Yes, I had the physical and mental fatigue. Felt like I was operating in a fog. Simple geometry problems became extremely difficult to work through, easily distracted, etc.
    At 117 ng/dL I felt horrible. It was a major task just to wake up, much less be productive.
