@axl617 I think after about 2 weeks into SERM therapy I started noticing significant improvements and by the end of month I was feeling really fantastic.

axl617, I’ll definitely advice you to try SERM therapy first. You’re still too young and there’s greater probability of your HPTA to recover. You know TRT is not at all a smooth and happy ride, there’re also many bumps and breaks. Nothing’s comparable to your natural system resuming to work, so do as best as you can to sort things out and stay proactive.
