Vonko1988 TRT Log

Did you watch Dark on Netflix? Only two seasons so far but surely is in my top 5 tv series regardless.

Bosch is great, on season 2 now, and the boys was phenomenal.

I haven’t but it’s on my list now.

Another of my fave shows is The Fall. It’s the best serial killer show ever. Dexter is awesome but The Fall is like the real deal.

Speaking of serial killers…Mindhunter on Netflix was pretty good too.

This TV show is the best I’ve watched and is from my country, I know some US TV has bought it and translated it:

It describes very well the underground in my country, and the plot and actors are excellent. My boss told me he would never open an office in Bulgaria if he had watched it before :smiley:

You’ve learned so much before even starting. You know this is an incorrect statement. Your testicles will come back online when needed. Until then don’t complicate your therapy. Stick to this for 2-3 months and relax bro. Patience is your friend.

Love this show just started the new season! Love it it’s finally here. So glad prime picked it up.

@enackers

I thought it was canceled for good until I saw an ad about it yesterday. I’m going to start it soon, awesome show. I like how Netflix is picking up a lot of canceled shows

I really wish someone would do another season of The Event and Stargate Universe.

This is the show. I was wrong I haven’t seen the event. Mistook the name. This is an amazing cast and story line . I hope it’s not cancelled.

Already binge watched travelers too haha. Loved that show

The event is good but you can tell they’re trying to drum up ratings at the end of the last season, too much too fast

Thankfully I read and learned for months before I started. Otherwise I would have already gone crazy for these almost three weeks now. Initially things were going better and better, but since Thursday all my mental and emotional symptoms returned with even greater strength than before TRT. Im more anxious than ever and the brain fog today made my job veery difficult. I know I have no alternative but wait.
On the other side other symptoms have not returned. Strength at gym is awesome and the dick works like maybe never before or at least since I was 18.
Hope the anxiety and brain fog subside soon.
Im really wondering whether its due to the drop in levels after shut down or the shut down itself affects other body processes that may cause this.

What percentage of people go through such difficult time around the shut down?

What’s your dose and what we’re pre trt free t levels?

Yes your natural had dropped and if it was not crazy low you will notice a drop.

Hope you are doing daily and on a good healthy dose. You can always lower it at a later date.

200 is always a good starting point for most of us. Obviously if you are 10 SHBG it can be lower; but then again TRT doesn’t kill and you can always lower later.

@enackers My pre TRT total t was 560 and SHBG was 52. Free around 7.7 ng/dl calculated.

Im doing daily 20mg sub q sustanon. Wanted to start at the lower end and go up if necessary, but the doctor I consulted(and he is a good one in the caliber of Nichols and with similar training like his) expected me to build good levels on that dose like 1000-1100.

Also if my levels have dropped now what is the logic errection quality and gym strength to be awesome?

Really I wish I could sleep until 6. I sleep from like 10 to 11pm until between 4 and 5 am. I also wake up and get woken up a half dozen times a night. This has been as far back as I can remember.

Today I definetely feel better

So, I did a small blood test today - Total T, Estradiol, SHBG, Albumin and blood panel. No increase in hematocrit and hemoglobin yet, I know it is early but the CBP test costs 3 dollars so I can do it every week.

Estradiol - 23.78 ng/L, Total Testosterone - 676ng/dl, LH < 0.1

So officially I’m shut down, Im only on exogenous test and my levels on paper definetely do not look optimal. 676 is pathetic for me Im sure, SHBG will come out tomorrow.

The question is - regarding the fact I use sustanon, will my levels increase more on the current protocol? If so I will stay on it more, but If my levels cannot increase more on 20mg injections I do not see a reason to stay more on that dose

Also my estradiol maybe is too low and I maybe am overdoing with the zinc, but lets take these t levels up and I will consider reducing the zinc then

TRT is a miracle !! it can’t do harm to you ! it will solve all your problems !

Just wanted to say regarding the shutdown and return of original symtoms. I had a bit of this as well around week 4-5. But don’t let it get in your head too much because it makes it worse.

Yes, they can increase. Testosterone takes time to reach a steady state in your blood.

Have you reached the 8 week mark yet? :smile:

Stay the course and wait. If after 8 weeks you aren’t feeling better, then think about an adjustment. Even though you are taking different esters, they still need time to build up.

Not yet, im almost three weeks now. But I dont think it needs 8 weeks to build levels for sure this is too long. Taking the effect is another thing but we talk about building the levels here.
I will test after two more weeks total t. If not increased for sure I need to bump up dose I think.

Hope the doctor to reply in the next days on the mail as well
