TRT time!!!

After 46 years my natty days are over. I just began my TRT 13 days ago. A friend at work has been doing it for a few years and his input was helpful in making the leap. Im not really sure exactly what to expect but Im kind of excited about it. The potential hair loss was really my primary concern in the negative list but I'm taking another supplement to further reduce the risk of that possibility.

Obviously its been a short period of time and I haven't noticed or felt any dramatic change. So far I feel like my recovery is improved. During the second half of my workouts I feel less tired then usual. I also wake up with morning wood which was pretty rare in recent years.

I figured if I were ever going to do it I may as well take the leap now. They also gave me something to keep my natural test production going.


Here's a few pics from a few days ago....







I'm around 180 here. Disregard the ulta-douchy face. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

Wish my luck boys. If I'm bald with acne and have a heart attack and live I will update this thread down the road to discorage the move.

Merry Christmas!

nothing to fear bro. you aren't supplementing with heroic doses that would put you at supraphysiological levels that would put you at an increased risk for potential side effects. trt is simply restoring optimal healthy t levels. if you made it 46 years without balding i'd say its pretty safe to assume trt isn't going to wreak havoc on your hair.

is this self medicating or prescribed? which ester?

either way give it another couple of weeks and you'll be feeling like a 21 year old again

Fellow 46 year old miscer checking in. I was going to wait until after 50 to look into it because I don't want to stop making test naturally.

That's great to hear. 21, damn, I'd be happy to feel 31 again. Its prescribed testosterone Cypionate and Gonadorelin Acetate.

This was definitely a concern of mine as well. Gonadorelin Acetate is what they gave me for that. I take it twice a week.

Once you're on TRT, you need to be on it for life. Otherwise, you will have teenage girl levels of testosterone and probably never rebound.

I plan on getting on TRT fairly soon, just turned 30. I've been "experimenting", and decided i rather do it the legit way now.

So I am an idiot when it comes to this stuff. What's the point of this? Is it to build muscle?

I'm guessing hcg, but "keeping natty test going" is a bit of a half-truth if that's the case.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

To sustain healthy and consistent testosterone levels. With aging it's normal for levels to dip, which can result in unwanted weight gain, increased estrogen levels and other health complications associated with low testosterone levels.
