If thats true its news to me.
Its a moot point if your balls already stopped working. But staying on trt long term and expecting to get a normal natural production back seems risky.

You’re wrong. PCT just speeds up the process and makes it easier.

It will go back to what your normal levels were before test. With PCT takes 4-8 weeks usually. Without PCT it can take 6 months or longer.

Balance it out with some beans and brussel sprouts.
Brussel sprouts are tasty tiny cabbages.

My big problem is sleep. Can’t sleep more than 6 hours before I’m tossing and turning
You can sleep for six hours straight? I’m totally jealous

Lots of good thoughts here. If I didn’t know my numbers, I would normally chalk it up to regular aging. I don’t feel 18, but I also know I’m not 18 anymore. I also realize that I’m no longer a competitive athlete. My goals are fully self-imposed at this point of my life. Having a great body isn’t a big deal either since I’ve been married for 12 years, and like I said, I have 4 kids. My reasons for jumping on it is mostly for physical and mental health. Despite living what I think is a healthy lifestyle, I have an HRV of 18 on my Whoop which I’ve read could put me at risk for cardiovascular diseases and I’ve read there could be a link between low testosterone and low HRV.
Paying an extra couple hundred bucks a month is not a big deal for me. If I could get 30 minutes extra sleep a night, reduce some aches and pains, get a bit more energy, it sounds like a good deal. Besides the hassle of poking myself with some needles, and the additional expense, it doesn’t really seem to have many downsides if it’s not abused.

I love it. If it wasnt for my treatment I would have a hard time in life. I would sleep an average of 4 hours a night before, now I get 6 on average. I wad in a bad place mentally, it definitely helped. My advice, seek out a good trt doc, not some test mill. Make sure you’re comfortable in their care and dont trust anyone who is quick with a prescription pad.
I was told to take it fasting before 10am. I think I took it at around 7? My sleep ranges from 6-7 hours but it’s common for me to wake up at 2 or 3am in the morning unable to go back to sleep for a couple hours. I don’t really drink. I’ll have a glass of wine if I’m with clients or out to dinner with my family…. So maybe a couple drinks a week. I eat fairly healthy but I admit I use meal replacements more often than I should. Most of my real meals are from Hello Fresh or Trifecta.
Stress is a big one for me though. 60hr weeks are the norm. I’m a COO for a health tech company in California and I tend to be really critical of myself. Add my day to day responsibilities to my family, BJJ, and gym time, I have very little downtime.
Thanks Honestus. I’ve read some bad experiences from money grubbing docs so your advice makes sense.

AnotherTMAguy, I’ve read a lot of stories of TRT helping in this area. It’s crazy how I can feel exhausted all day long only to wake up at 2am in the morning with my mind running 100mph.

How many of you on TRT are/were overweight, inactive, or get less than an average of 7-8 hours of sleep?
Not bashing; I’m simply wondering how many have bad habits that could be contributing.

Statistically almost everyone on this thread is overweight, eats poorly, and doesn’t get good sleep consistently.

You sound quite unbalanced with those numbers.
