Cycle Instead of TRT?

Hello,

I am John 22 years old from France for 1m82 (5’'11) and 75kg (166lbs). I was recently diagnosed with low T. My doc want to put me on TRT.

I’m wondering, what if i go for a cycle ? I know nothing on steroids, I’m afraid of doing something wrong and kill my HPTA

Can someone help me? Or “Coach” me?

PS: I would like to be a dad, later

Here is my personal link, you can see that even with a good diet & training, i’m not able to make gain :frowning:

How low is low? I have low T (very bottom of range) but felt fine. Other don’t. If your test is well below range and you have low testosterone symptoms and want to know if cycling is going to be a good substitute for TRT then NO. How would spike and crashing your hormones over and over be better than a constant stream of synthetic test going in?

As far as your HPTA recovering then if you’re on TRT it’s for life so recovery isn’t really that important. If you cycle properly then HPTA can be restored to where it was given time but if this leaves you with low T then your no better off than before the cycle.

If you want Kids then you need to think long and hard about how much The low testosterone is effecting your life. It’s well know that long term testosterone use will lead to infertility, even with HCG/HMG. If you can live without it do so for as long as possible.

The fact your aren’t making gains will have very little to do with your natural test level. I doubt anyone would make a massive difference between gains from someone top of range and below it. I had a test level of 16-18 (16-32 range) and I got to 170lbs in near contest shape naturally. That’s at 5’8 which ain’t bad. Chances are your doing something wrong training or nutrition wise.

If you feel you really do need to spend a life time injecting hormones into your self then go down the TRT route. You could always chuck in some prop, orals, tren, NPP etc 8 weeks on, 8-10 weeks off to give your self a boost. Time it in with the docs blood tests and he’ll be none the wiser. Well your lipids, blood count and liver might be a bit of a red flag!
