New to TRT, Unique Case to Say the Least

Take a breather for a month. You’re going to be ok. Ncsu and I have high shbg so we’re basically running low cycles with our dosages. I still think 120 on the low end but you’re not likely to get it right first time anyways.

You’ll be ok, dont expect an overnight miracle, consider getting on 10mg Lexapro and moving on with your life.

Thanks @samguy19 …my SHBG doesn’t seem high at all so I should get a nice bump in free and bio available T.
I have a prescription for Trentillex (anti depressant) but haven’t taken it yet
On a plus side I woke up w nice morning wood which haven’t had in a long time

@samguy19
What were your side effects from PFS
I Had the sexual
Ones
Loss
Of libido and some penile changes
Dry skin and my hair loss really stopped these last nine years

And horrible depression-life threatening in 2011 and again now

Did you have that

And why do ppl not do well on TRT FOR PFS

is it possible you didn’t have PFS

In think most people that think they don’t do well on trt, never actually did it right and also had mental health issues prior to PFS.

I had libido issues, muscle wasting, basically all low t symptoms. You can check my threads to learn more about my story.

I have not seen a PFS person on tnation boards not recover with a dedicated injection based trt protocol. Not saying it can’t happen, just haven’t seen it.

Thanks…my libido and ED on and off and depression are the worst

Not thinking your going to get better kills your spirits…literally

Also do you find your semen changes on TRT
I KNOW that you lose your sperm basically but will your semen become watery

@samguy19 did you also have any ED
@ncsugrad2002 did you have any libido or ED issues or depression
Thanks

Yes, sometimes and not really

Is lower SHBG a good thing bc I will have more free T Once my TRT kicks up the t levels?

Question

Did 120mg injection Thursday at 12pm

Should
I do another one Sunday night (now) about 60mg and then again Thursday and follow that protocol?
Any evidence one way or another

If you’re switching to 60 twice a week and this is shot day, do 60. Now or Thursday, same difference, just delayed a few days.

Technically shot day would be Thursday April 2 for another 120 mg
I did my first 120 mg at 12pm Thursday March 26

Personally, I would go today and consider it a small boost to transition, but your call.

@samguy19
Can you tell me you PFS sides?

Your blood never crashed to hypogonadism levels however

Yes it did. Dropped to sub 300 on finasteride. Went back up after but still low.

They were the typical low t sides. See past posting history.

I saw your blood work
Looked like your t was quite good
Didn’t know it hit 300

What about side effects wrt to libido and depression ED?

Weird question

I’ve noticed increased ear wax since starting

I didn’t have much for years

Injection day today
I did 60mg Monday another 70mg today

I think I’ve noticed nocturnal erections but really no libido and depression still bad

Is this still PFS?

It’s weird bc I thought I overcame
All if that and recovered

If I didn’t have the PFS in the past I probably wouldn’t be so hopeless and more patient

Might go back
To once weekly
Just for
Convenience

It’s hard giving yourself a needle
I chickened out…still relying on a friend

What size needles/syringes are you using?
