Hey Guys,
I'm a new user here on the forums and this is my first thread looking for advice or any information I can get to assist me in making my decision to start or not to start TRT.
Background Information About:
I'm 29 years old and have NEVER done any steroids ever. I've been overweight the majority of my life, but in the last few years have made progress in reducing weight. I used to be 290lbs (I'm 5'-10") and worked my way down to 210lbs (about 18%~19% BF). Most of this weight was lost before last year, probably lost 10-20lbs this year.
In the last year I've noticed a few changes such as:
- a much longer recovery time after strength training (used to go 6 days a week for about an hour, I can now go 4 days a week).
- less restful sleep but longer sleep time (used to run on 5 hours of sleep, no waking up at all, now I need at least 6 hours but usually wake up a bunch throughout the night)
- ONCE in a great while I'll have sexual performance issues (unable to keep it up).
Some of my friends jokingly suggested that I might have low T since they noticed my gym performance decreasing (or just joking that I'm just plain old).
I was curious about my T levels and decided to get tested via TRT clinic. I decided to go through a TRT clinic (which is located in florida) because here in Honolulu, Hawaii insurance sucks. I actually did the math and saw that to get my T levels checked it would be cheaper to do it through a online TRT clinic versus my local health care provider with insurance.
I did the test (taken at 730am) showed my total T level was 297 ng/DL. I have a bunch of other blood test results too if anyone is interested in hearing to provide information.
I got diagonized with low T and was provided testosterone CYP (200 mg per week), anastrozole (1 mg twice per week), and HCG (50 units twice per week).
Before I decided to do the TRT, I decided to get a second opinion by my expensive health care provider.
Their test (taken at 830am) showed my total T level was 349 ng/DL and T free was 60.9 pg/ml.
They suggested that I do not need TRT.
So I'm pretty much stuck on deciding if I should do it or not. I have no idea how it would feel to have high T levels so I have no clue how it would benefit me since I've never did any steriods before. And from what I read TRT is lifelong and is not something you can "try out". I'm also very interested in having kids and I keep reading that TRT can effect that but I'm not sure whats the odds (I mean is it like the odds that you could die from taking aspirin?)
If anyone would be interested in sharing their opinion/experiences that would be super helpful.
Or if anyone knows if there's a way to "try" TRT for like 3 months (I read it takes a while to see the benefits).
Sadly all the local medical people I have available are not too knowledgeable on the subject or can even refer me to similar people with the same scenario.
Thanks!
