My TRT Experience So Far

Hi all, new to the forum, just wanted to share my story.

Iâ??ve been on Androgel 1.62 at two pumps under my arms for about 6 months. I have noticed an upswing in my mood, and feel like my fitness level has increased dramatically. I am an avid mountain biker and rock climber, and I have noticed that after starting the treatment I seem to be stronger, and my endurance hasnâ??t changed much, but my strength has definitely increased.

The first 3 months were a bit rough, and I suffered some common symptoms of TRT including some acne on my back and shoulders, and difficulty urinating mostly at night. My first PSA test after one month of therapy came back on the high end, 4.1 ng/ml. I should mention that before TRT my PSA was around 2.7. I should also mention that my estrogen levels are within normal range.

A friend of mine is also doing TRT and he suggested that I use a supplement that he is using, I’m not sure what the rules are, but I won’t mention the brand-name, but I have been taking it for the last three months and my acne has gone away, and I haven’t had any prostate issues for at least the last two months, in fact my last PSA came back at 3.4, so overall I’m feeling much better.

I look forward to sharing my experience with others, and learning more from you guys as well.

Any chance you could post the generic name of the supplement that helped with the acne? I’ve been TRT for the past 5 months and having a difficult time with the acne.

I am pretty sure the moderators may not take to kindly to that.

There is nothing wrong with posting generic names of medications.

Please read the advice for new guys sticky and post your lab work with ranges.

There is a lot more to consider other than your T and E2 levels.

We could use more info. Are you young or old? Looking to raise a family or you are passed that?

Normal is a bad word. What we are after is optimal. E2 near 22pg/ml is good, in combination with high-normal TT and FT.

Transdermal T products create the highest levels of DHT and E2

I’ll post my lab work as soon as I can, I’m traveling for work.

The supplement I’m taking is called TRT Support (www.trtsupport.com) It has helped, and my first month was free with my doctor’s information.
