Hey everyone,
Decided to start a log after being a long time lurker. I felt like it would just be a good way to get others input and information.
Backstory: Started TRT after debating for close to 3 years whether or not it would be a viable option for me. I had been closely monitoring my hormones for about 3 years after I primarily noticed I was losing some libido, and my results in thr gym and athlete wise were not on-par with the amount of effort I had been putting in. Low and behold I began doing around 6 monthly check ins with the doc and found my levels of test to be hovering 300-350 (not ideal for a fit, normal 25yo at the time).
Anyways here we are, TRT.. started about 6 weeks ago now, 100mg a week Test C.
Initial reactions: This has absolutely changed my life. I have 500% more energy, 500% more sex drive, 500% more performance in the gym. I feel great and in the short time I have noticed changes in how I appear. Its overall been a fantastic experience thus far.
I feel as though I may have been very E2 reactive, in the sense that even on a small dose my E2 shot up way around 233 pmol/L from about 88 pmol/L. I had slight chets pain. Nevertheless I now take an AI, .5 anastrozole each week to mitigate this and I will assess in another few weeks after another blood test. I had slight joint pain for the first two or so weeks however this has completely gone and I feel great.
I completed a blood test just around the 5 week mark after starting and that is where my E2 reading came from. In addition I observed all my other markers which seem to be doing fine. I have attached my blood work below. Although I felt great on 100mg per week, I was not really "happy" with the number my Free Test reached *780 pmol/L.
I feel as though, if I am going to be taking Testosterone, I might as well be making the most of it and try to dip my toes into the super-physiological numbers. Thats why I have now bumped up to 150mg per week. I will monitor how I feel here and take another blood test in 4-5 weeks and see how all my markers are tracking.
Am I selfish? Now that I have started, I only want more...
. But I guess thats a conversation for down the track whenI know for a certain fact that I will want to add in some blasts of other compounds... feels naughty just to even think about. The gym pumps have felt sexual they have been so good, im sure others can relate
