@NH_Watts @roscoe88 @ncsugrad2002 @highpull @systemlord. I got my medication today. 100mg of test cyp injection complete. Used 30 gauge insulin needle using z-Trac method subQ on love handle. Totally painless. I have a 3 month supply of anastrozole that I will not be using. I also have 3 months of HCG that I am also not using. I have taken your advice and will only be starting with the test cyp. Twice a week 100mg for a total of 200mg a week. Took the shot an hour ago. Throat feels a little strange. Probably placebo. Other then that all is normal.
keep the hcg, mixed or not, in the fridge.
Funny you mentioned your throat. When I first tried TRT years back with axiron, the first time I applied it, my throat felt more deep. Like froggy. Like I was going thru puberty again. And my throat is very deep to begin with.
Good luck sir. Keep us posted.
@NH_Watts. You bet your ass I will! This is a new lease on life. The next 39 years are going to be a lot better.
Yeah dude. Just dont forget that you will feel an adjustment around 6 weeks. Dont fret and stay the course.
@NH_Watts. It might just be a hell of a battle for 6 weeks but I dont care… I know whats on the other side… Thanks man.
Well usually you will start feeling great and then it kind of dips around 6 weeks but yes stick with it and it will pay off.
Well…this evening will be my second dose this week. Things so far? My filter between my brain and my mouth has actually gotten a lot better. So much so that it surprised the hell out of me three times this week. I definitely have increased energy. Played football with my kids and a friend for over an hour after cleaning the house, going to the gym, running two miles, and doing some yard work. Enjoyed it and had more patience and enjoyment with my kids. This has not happened in longer then I can actually remember. I didn’t even have to try. I actually had to drag my 14 year old outside to play ball with me. Still no libido. Anxiety is a little less. Anger is manageable. Have not cried in Two days. Work is still a struggle. There are definite swings in my mood still and the good doesn’t last more then half the day but my lows are not as low.
I expect this to not be the norm for the next six weeks. I fully expect a crash as I shut down and things move around and find a new normal. Trying to prepare myself for that. Telling myself it’s just hormone related and it will be ok in time…
My voice is cracking at times which is a bit weird since I have not heard of that symptom… other than that there are no physical aspects of test cyp yet and why would there be…
Getting out of bed is a bit easier. All in all. Way more then I expected for three and a half days.
Going to try administering IM tonight and see if that is something that I want to keep doing.
Thank you for all the tips and support so far. Will keep you up to date.
Great update! TRT is doing its job. Don’t think of 6 weeks out as a crash. Its just a dip and it will pass.
@NH_Watts. Good to know. Dip is fine…crash is fine…not giving up. I see so many successful guys on this and are loving life and killing it…I will get there! Thanks for the support.
I still get a little jealous of the honeymoon period you are about to experience. It’s like a lion getting its roar.
Then here is to the first time!
Having optimal testosterone deepens the voice, I had this symptom as well when starting TRT.
@systemlord. Haha! Thank God for modern medicine! Going to be a hell of a ride! Its working!
I’ve thought mine was deeper as well… I just thought it was in my head, maybe it isn’t
@ncsugrad2002 Just read an article somewhere here that stated that trt did lower your voice and improve vocal quality and restotes muscle and tndon fibres in the vocal cords? Not an exact quote but along those lines and was fascinating. There is definately something to this.
On a side note…or maybe more on point to my personal thread…I did my second injection of 100mg tonight of test cyp. I sat on my bed and bared my thigh, then stuck the needle in calmly and confidently so as to try a IM injection rather then the SQ I had done for my first because I wanted to see if the response was different for me. It was…but not like I was expecting. I chose the exact location of a nice nerve ending. My leg immediately shot forward at ludicrous speed and smashed all five of my little piggies into my oak dresser.
Once I had calmed down and had made myself sure that none had been broken. I stood up and setted for a nice and painless love handle SQ and packed up shop. From now on I will have to ensure that my firing range is clear and secure before discharging. Its the unexpected things in life that are so much fun. My mood is definately better this evening. Even with all the stresses and problems right now…I would rate my mood at a 6 out of ten and if you knew the half of it…that ain’t bad brothers. That ain’t bad at all.
