Six weeks in - Not feeling it

[hammerheart]

Ain't that the truth. I've seen so many post where guys basically expect to feel perfect simply because they started hormone replacement. HRT is a wonderful thing and optimizing hormones can lead to a healthier existence, but we're still human and issues arise.

Or just feel normal. Heck, it took me two years and half not to feel any worse from TRT. Six weeks is nothing.

I hesitate posting this after the "results may be slow" speech, but everyone reacts differently. I was one of the fortunate guys that felt better overnight. I started out my first 3 months of TRT at a Low T Clinic where they did the injections. This is before I started seeing one of the Top docs in the field. I know they used a compounded blended T ester, but I have no idea of the exact composition. I suspect it had a good amount of T-Prop because I had injection site soreness for several days, which is a side-effect of T-Prop. Anyway, I received the injection in the mid afternoon and went to bed feeling my typical (at the time) crappy self. I woke up 25 years younger. It was a firkin miracle! Then again, my Free T was a pathetic 7 pg/mL, so I had nowhere to go but up. I just didn't anticipate such a rapid recovery.

I should also point out that with their "one size fits all" weekly injection program, we could never get the effect to last more than 5 days, even with increasing amounts of whatever they injected me with and more and more HCG at the end of the weekly cycle. It was at that point I found a TRT specialist (cost me an arm and a leg), but he got me on a very stable E3D protocol that I've maintained for over 5 years.

Again, my best advice is to take it slow and let your hormones come to a new balance before implementing any changes, and then only with supporting labs. It takes time and money, but worth it to find the sweet spot.
