Hi there KSman & anyone else who wants too help, You Too SystemLord brother
Straight off will tell you what’s happened, i been on T.R.T since 14th July, it’s almost 14th August soon so will mark officially 4 weeks long 1 month on treatment. I am on the Compounded TEST Cream with H.C.G as i have seen on THOUSANDS of forums and read it, that if you’re on T.R.T it will definitely lower your DHEA-Sulfate. I heard lots of guys on T.R.T i don’t know if all of them do so, but most supplement with it, to boost back their DHEA-SULFATE, before T.R.T i had low Testosterone but DHEA compensated and i had GOOD level of 472 Ug/DL almost max level on blood panel. Now i ain’t done it again since being on T.R.T almost 1 month. My question for you KSMan if my DHEA has hit rock bottom now since the 4 weeks on T.R.T could it be contributing to my MENTAL FATIGUE? my erections are definitely better on T.R.T than before. but rather than Erections my MIND is not working at all properly. And i am SAT staring at my Computer all day long without actual being to do any work, even when i can DRINK 2 coffees a day, or Green Tea, the MENTAL Fatigue is horrible. if a Man lacks this Hormone DHEA-Sulfate can his BRAIN suffer everyday?
Danny, Six weeks is usually the sweet spot where after your HPG axis has shut down and your body is getting a steady flow of test symptoms start to even out and you pull out of the fog. Give it a few more weeks and see how you feel. What is your protocol? 472 is only slightly above what Donald Trump tested at and he is in his 70s.
472 Brother is what my DHEA-sulfate level was before T.R.T my TotalT was actually worse only @ 299 ng/dl all the time and the that’s reason why i went on T.R.T my question if my DHEA level has dropped below normal range now could it give me on & off BRAIN fatigues?? as i am no Expert NH_Watts on DHEA & the brain. Thanks for trying help. and if u know if DHEA plays a big role in Brain Energy & Focus let me know. as of late i am getting headaches & constant brain fatigue, i don’t know if i ain’t Dialled in yet, or if my Dhea is low while on TRT.
Well my thoughts stand. You have another two weeks before you may start to feel much better. Right around 6 weeks after I started hot flashes stopped, I could think a little, I had a bit more energy and libido. I just saying don’t start chasing symptoms when those symptoms are part of the TRT process.
Watts brother, Libido did improve" Right after first week, 4.5 days in Morning woods came back on Test compounded cream + HCG. however MENTAL benefits seem to be taking lot longer, is Mental Benefits + Physical strength later after 6 weeks in? i am assume those two, the mental & Physical Aspects.
my SHBG was decent level before starting TrT middle 30’s 35 i believe to be exact, i know this Hormone SHGB plays a huge role in libido too. and needs to be balanced out in a T.R.T journey too i understand from many forum topics on it.
Just know that you aren’t alone and most guys go through this in the first couple of months. There is a 4-6 day honeymoon phase at first then it slowly ramps up following 5-6 weeks.
Thank you for this chart Watts bro, i like to ask so at FIRST libido comes back like a SPRING??? like it did, then slowly drifts down, and picks back up in the 4 plus weeks? that’s good to know, Morning woods ain’t so frequent now, but still had a few in the 4 week period on T.R.T not every day was a Morning wood though, i assume have to be Perfectly Dialled in for that too happen.
Some Extra info brother before i go sleep i did lose some Body fat too, even though i haven’t been to the Gym at all yet. i do Walk lots everyday walking. Adding testosterone back into Body Properly can assume contributed to losing some extra fat off my chest? before T.R.T my estrogen was LOW. so i guess it be a while but it really does increase. i ain’t not Seen Much of it increase since 3 & half weeks weeks on Cream, expect my left Nipple did had tickle/ Itching sensation, didn’t grow though thanks God. it’s actually not grown at all. if it did grow then i would know i am in Excess E2 right?
Thanks bro, appreciate your Knowledge & advice. really insightful, got to sleep here 12 am Midnight in London U.K area. And i not been sleeping the best lately, because i enjoy YouTube too much : ). again Thank you.
Can’t Sleep just yet brother, but i have one GOOD QUESTION for you to estimate please. i just took some photos & I like to add since i am on T.R.T i am on somewhat VEGAN diet for Heart-health & health reasons in general, i do supplement B12 as i don’t Eat MEAT for about total almost 2-months now i get decent protein from Chickpeas Garbanzo beans. However i will tell you i’m Not Comfortable with my weight at 155lbs Exactly @ 5ft 10inches tall. i will show you some Photographs of me here. Also since 3 WEEKS on T.R.T i haven’t gone back to the GYM at all yet* that i like to work on soon. But i seem very LEAN since on T.R.T on upper half, but i do got Fat on my thighs more. I like to ask you what BODY fat percentage do you estimate i am Honestly? i literally just took these now.
I am not on a 100% vegan diet, i still do drink Cow’s milk so i guess might as well go back on my Old Carnivore diet as i gained weight much Easier on that, i used to buy Organic-Chicken legs and they’re pretty cheap where i live & good too BULK up with. here photographs i just taken.
I also had a Good Degree of Muscle Atrophy on most of my Muscles before i started this T.R.T Journey/Lifestyle accompanied by Bad Joints Pains that came & went as my Estrogen was dropping too low at times.
My Muscle loss was Normal & somewhat expected for any Man who’s lacking his Test
I was Low T for just over 1 year total about 14 months. But now i desire to get back too GYM soon as i can or just buy Set for the home. I got Organic whey protein stocked up, Creatine, and BCAA
Apologee’s for not best Quality this was taken with my Laptop Camera & the Lightning is not good either but can still make it out. If you can estimate NH_Watts or anyone else. What bodyfat % i am around i think 15% mark Or less but i’m no Perfect Judge. i always had somewhat fast Metabolism too before TRT, it
wasn’t Scary Fast, but faster than your’e average joe’s.
Thanks so your very LEAN since on T.R.T in upper half too? that’s good too know bro, Years before T.R.T before i had Testosterone problems this what i Looked like. i had more of Estrogen GUT lol.
This was me taken in 2015 Summer 3 years ago. When i had Better SEX drive than i do now, and when my Testosterone was normal, although i prefer now on T.R.T with Less body fat but still need my Estrogen few Higher as my Joint Pains not completely gone yet. you can tell then i had lots more of a BELLY i believe i aromatized lots more Testosterone before my Testicle injury as seen in this photo 3 years ago.
As you can Tell to one above yesterday August 6th 2018 big difference in Fat distribution, i do know one thing when i was on Low Testosterone & i believe this is normal that, Men go into a more CATABOLIC state. when they burning fat off and lose Muscle at same time" i think that’s what catabolic is if i’m Not mistaken? @unreal24278@KSman@iron_yuppie
Low T can cause a catabolic state as adequate testosterone levels are required to gain muscle mass, there has been shown time and time again testosterone levels correlate to the level of muscle and fat mass a person carries.
as i am no Expert NH_Watts on DHEA & the brain. Thanks for trying help. and if u know if DHEA plays a big role in Brain Energy & Focus let me know. as of late i am getting headaches & constant brain fatigue, i don’t know if i ain’t Dialled in yet, or if my Dhea is low while on TRT.
