Another Boring First Timer

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement
1

Im sure this is getting pretty effing boring for the more experienced of you out there.

But here I am another newb jumping on the train. Choo motherf**king choo.

I recently had some blood work done and my test levels are literally on the lowest end possible. This in term relates to how I have been feeling low mood, loss of sex drive, and moody, and my training is pretty much minimal.

I have been on and off training for a few years. But with this new low test coming to light I have been toying with running the first cycle of test E.

But there is so much conflicting information/do’s and dont’s it makes it really hard to see what my best option is.

I just want to run a simple 6-8 wk cycle with PCT.

Im 5ft 8 and currently sat at 85kg.

If anyone could offer up some advice or even a chat about low testosterone id very much appreciate it.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas or holidays

Cheers Jon

I’m confused by your post. Are you wanting to use testosterone as a treatment for hypogonadism or are you wanting to run a steroid cycle? Those are two different animals: like wanting to use insulin to treat diabetes vs manipulate carbs for bodybuilding.

Ive been wanting to run a cycle for a while but now my bloods have shown up low test im not sure what to so do i still carry on with a cycle or see the doc.

If I was suffering from a medical disorder, I would seek the attention of a medical professional and receive treatment for my disorder, rather than abuse medication.

I have not abused any medication i have been told by a doctor that TRT does not always work. All im asking is if anyone has been in the same situation as i am, and have done either option.

No, of course not: your question is regarding going in that direction.

I am saying, in such a situation, my choice would be to go with what the medical professional prescribes.

Is there anything that always works?

I’d consult with a doctor who has a TRT practice.

If these low normal T values are repeatable on multiple testing and your symptomatic, maybe consider going on and staying on TRT.

If your health is beyond the point of no return, TRT may not do much to resolve all your symptoms. Just because TRT doesn’t work for everyone is no reason not to try it yourself, especially considering low-T is strongly associated with increased mortality and poor quality of life.

You can always stop TRT if it doesn’t meet your expectations and rarely does a man not return to baseline.

Seems really short, doesn’t it? I mean you need 5 weeks to get the ester to build up in the first place, then you’re done in a couple weeks. I’d do 12-16 personally

I second this.

How old are you?

What’s your lifestyle like with food and sleep. Alcohol etc?

Where are you located in the world?

Whats your finanical situation without too much detail and how is that likely to stay?

Do you have kids and want any in the future?
