How are you feeling?
Honestly
Not really different?
Iām not horny
erections are ok When needed
Noticing some nocturnals but not always and using cialis daily
Depression still there bc of sexual issues
I am stronger tho
Ejaculate volume decreased and a bit watery
I donāt know where to from here
So, if I am reading right and didnāt miss something, you are on 115-120mg a week? Is this onw shot a week? Libido is the last thing to come around, the important part is being able to be up for it when it does happen. You honestly wonāt be aware of most nocturnals, donāt worry about that. What differences are there between now and the higher dose that you were previously using?
Not really sure
I used 130mg now down to about 115mg
Initially my dick felt dead day of injections on the higher dose
So Iām sticking to about 115mg a week injected twice
I havenāt noticed a huge diff one way or another
Iāve read libido comes back in three weeks and that definitely is not the case here!
Some guys take months for libido. I think it depends on a lot of things. How long youāve been test deficient affects how long it takes for the body to repair, and howmuch you get into your own head definitely affects things. Anxiety is a real enemy.
Iāve probably been low for 10 years
Literally
I have tests showing that I was sub-300 in my twenties. Iām pushing 50. It takes a while for all the chemicals and hormones to reset.
So how long would you reckon libido would take
Itās been low for years
@dextermorgan might be a better person to ask. Everyone is different.
When Iām on a set protocol that hasnāt changed my libido finally gets to the consistently high point between 2-4 months (usually closer to 4). For me libido was the last thing to come. Donāt base your ideal TRT protocol on how well your libido is. Base it on how optimal you feel after 2 months and the libido will come later.
Well I guess Iām
Only on TRT bc of the sexual problems I was encountering and then coupled with the blood tests confirming really low levels
But I had other symptoms too that I could ignore like fatigue and weakness
So strength has improved
Energy probably better but depression hurts tnat
I was hoping to wake up horny at some point w strong erecrions but o think finasteride took care if that? So 8 weeks so far
Maybe by 10 weeks things change idk
We have several guys that were on Finasteride that have had their issues resolved or at least improved dramatically so donāt get yourself into the mindset that youāre just screwed. I had sexual side effects that lasted a decade stemming from the past use of several different antidepressants. I didnāt even realize I had that much of an issue until things were fixed. Itās like āHoly shit I didnāt realize my dick gets that hardā and āso every morning youāre supposed to wake up rock hard and have an undeniable urge to pound vajine?ā. Iām serious, I didnāt realize my dick never got fully hard until it got to the point where it stands completely perpendicular to my body any time I get turned on. I also used to dread the days I had to fuck my girlfriend. It was like āDamn I want to finish this episode of _____ā. Now I literally could fuck all day (and do when possible). I never realized how high a womanās libido was until I had the ability to pound her 24/7 and see how much she loves it. Even just the sexual aspect of TRT can be completely life changing. Keep in mind it took over a year for me to find the right protocol to get there and along the way I never truly thought Iād get anything close to what I have now. Had I not hit total rock bottom several times I likely would have never kept going and just stayed on a protocol that had me a little better than normal.
Iām so very thankful for getting the chance to experience this life after having been in such a funk for so long. Depression has always been my downfall. It led me to abuse opiates because they were the only thing that made it better (although after a while they just made me numb). No antidepressant or drug ever came close to the antidepressant qualities of TRT at the right dose. Itās not like a high like you get from opiates. Itās a general state of feeling confident & content with myself regardless of what is going on in my life (good or bad). After going so long with what I dealt with and getting lucky enough (basically by total accident) to get to live a life that I never thought was possible for me I just feel so damn thankful. Anytime I see someone here that is going through that itās like I instantly feel what they are feeling (the hopelessness, uncertainty and feeling so down). It makes me wish I could have them spend a day in my shoes so they could see whatās possible and that things can get better than you could ever imagine. I definitely donāt have all the answers to get someone else there but just letting someone realize itās possible hopefully gives them the motivation to stick it out through the crap along the way.
Sorry for the rant. I get a little emotional on certain topics.

God bless you
What do you take
T only?
200mg/week Testosterone Cypionate (only)
-split up into daily doses of 28.6mg
I tried everything from 100 - 220mg/week doses and once a week to daily injection frequency and everything in between until I found what works. Took a while but worth it in the end.
Your balls must be raisins tho?
Your completely shutdown Iād imagine?
Everyone on any level of exogynous test is completely shut down. Usually by week 3 or 4. It doesnāt really matter what dosage.

Yes your nuts can shrink some initially but mine are basically the same size as before. They came back. If they were half the size I wouldnāt care as long as my dick doesnāt shrink. Iāve never met a female that gave a shit about nuts unless they were smacking her chin too hard as she chokes. The nut size thing is a male insecurity and of all the things to be insecure about that matter the nuts aināt one of them. When you feel like a million dollars youāll notice how seldom you look at your sack. Abs are where itās at.

Please do not change anything. Get your blood tested in the next week or two and post the results here.
My libido took over 6 months to return.
