I started using TRT when I was 23. My levels were 180 without it, I immediately was prescribed cypionate injections and after a few months, got on a steady dose prescribed by my endocrinologist. 100mg every 7 days.
It has been about 9 months of injections now and my levels on day 4 are about 550.
I have always, ALWAYS been morbidly obese, my entire life. I have had extensive bloodwork and vitals done, ultrasounds, nearly every test a doctor can do for health purposes and the doctors have always said how surprised they are that everything is running perfectly. I am extremely healthy and my thyroid, kidney function, everything is in working order and doing great. I am not at risk for diabetes either, which surprised me. I am now 24, 5’11" and when I started going to the gym a couple of months ago, I weighed 415 pounds.
I am now down to 370 pounds through hardwork and a full life-style and healthy eating change. I feel great on the TRT and eating healthy isn’t so bad at all.
With all that being said, my ultimate goal is to get down to 185-200 pounds. I’ve never wanted anything more in my life and I’m on my way to achieving that goal. However, I don’t want to have to use TRT forever.
If my low T is caused by my obesity, is it possible in 1-2 years from now when I hit my goal, that my natural T levels can raise to 550ish without TRT and I can stop the injections?
Currently at a very high weight and very high body-fat %, my levels would be 180 without Testosterone, 550 on day 4, and if I dropped 200+ pounds I’m wondering if I could stop using testosterone injections and just naturally produce enough on my own.
Maybe there’s a way I can use other methods to naturally boost testosterone as well in a year from now once I lose a lot of weight?
Any help or advice would be extremely appreciated, my ears are open.
Thank you.
