I been like crap for past over a dozen of years. I always been chubby but I got sex drive maybe not insane, but for 1 or 2 times a week. I also been depressed for that time and after my daughter born with health condition, I turned into wreck. I been drinking a lot and gained more, sex drive = 0. At some time i started running, I lost MUCH weight but I’ve still been depressed and had to sleep most of the time. I relapsed to be fat after 3 years of “being fit” (which basically turned me into zombie) and had no hope for any improvement. So one day I went to lab to take some basic tests and seen testosterone test so I said - I’ll take it. It returned with 2,7 (range 2,8 — 8,0) so I thought meh, it’s just a little bit under limit so not’s that bad. But went for another test and it returned at 1,8 xD Then I started to read about it and I discovered that my 75yo father has higher T than me
Honestly: I know, that my lifestyle was FAR from perfection and it still is not best, but after I started TRT I’ve been able to actualy DO anything so I went to gym, I constantly go there since last october at least 3 times a week (there been only 1 week when I went 1 time during Christmas break). I’ve lost 13 kilos of weight (counting from March where I changed eating habbits) and put decent amount of muscle and gained strength (from 40 kg on bench, 110 kg in last series) and each training I do 30-60 minutes of 60-70% of heart rate fat burning session. My weight goes down - VERY slowly but noticeable. I still drink way too much but instead of everyday I drink only when don’t work (2 times a week by average. More during longer holidays). My diet need improvements and I make them, but not everything at once ![]()
From downsides, I need to control E2 because it’s high (fat ass) but also I over respond to anastrazole which crushed it do single digits after 2 mg (0,5 each injection 2x a week). I’m still moody but my positive vital changes have been visible by people from work so
I still have issues, that I need to address (You can’t heal your soul with few T shots :)) but at least I have power to do it, I’m not zombie anymore and I actually go out and do something.
EDIT: 40yo, 2x75mg e3,5d + hcg 500.
