My Personal Experience on TRT - what to expect on TRT. 

I had a total of 132. I didn’t want to be around people, I was so depressed I thought about suicide, I lost my job, I had 0 motivation, 0 drive for anything! Been on my shot for 3 days now and I already feel better! Got right up as soon as my alarm went off. Got to work early, and actually wanted to interact with people. This has been amazing so far!

I'm in my mid 40s and been on TRT for 8 months now. Had low T since my early 30s. Quite possibly for most of my adult life. With TRT I'm stronger, getting better workouts and looking more cut and defined overall. The best part is my liibido is almost as good as it was back in my late teens/early 20s. It's like a sigh of relief that I don't have to wake up depressed anymore and I actually feel like I have a future for the first time in years.

I went to VA Hospital and explained the symptoms to my GP. He told me that I probably had PTSD. The VA sent me to a Psychiatrist that confirmed the PTSD diagnosis. 2 years later none the treatment or counseling was working. Went to a civilian doc on my own dime. They tested me and found out my Test was 288 and my thyroid and DHEA were concerning low. I went on TRT and Thyroid treatment a week ago. I don't feel anything dramatic yet, but I'm no longer thinking of stepping in front of a speeding bus. I'm on daily doses of .15ml daily (210mg per week) of test cyponate.

Very interesting guys. I'm about to start your protocol after going through the assessments 👍

I've had the worst major depression and I'm almost in a spiral I lost my job I cannot go around people I have low testosterone and low thyroid. Just had my first 200 mg injection test today and once a week hereafter. Hearing you say your social anxiety went away overnight has me jumping for joy so hopeful!!!!! I am crying because it's hope! Caregiving for your dad as he goes to bone cancer at your home is so hard and now I'm doing it for my mom. But i kept both out of nursing home singlehandedly and my brother self terminated. Trt gives me hope - thank you so much!

Well done and helpful. Thank you.

Ive answered yes to say many of the things you guys chat about. Test ordered.

I feel your quad related pain - I accidentally knifed myself in my quad at christmas a few years ago, could not walk for a few days !

Would love to see you guys on a podcast with Derek (MPMD) 👍

Great video guys. I just started TRT this week. I currently take the finistaride tabs, but I'd like to get the spray you guys sell. I checked your website but can't seem to find it

Just started week 7 on Cypionate & HCG. Really starting to feel the benefits now. More chats like these would be great.

It took me forever and a day to figure out that I may have an issue with my testosterone. The symptoms are so diverse and can also be symptoms of other things so it's not surprising that it's not something you jump to. But eventually I did the ADAM questionnaire and it suggested low test and so I took the blood tests which confirmed it. I'm now week 11 of TRT and the difference is immense and just getting better all the time. If you're unsure whether you have low TRT I'd say do the ADAM questionnaire - it's simple and takes two minutes and this can at least give you an idea if you're in the right ballpark for treatment or whether something else might be causing it.

I did a basic blood sample with you guys a few months ago and it said I had low test.. ive tried to improve my health a little since then but I still feel empty. So fatigued at work. No sex drive. And struggle recovering from the gym. I think I need to do the enhanced test to see if I can start treatment but I’m a little apprehensive 🤔 maybe I should give you guys a call

My GP did the same.... "Oh you're depressed, take these tablets and come back in a few weeks"... Only because I did research, and did private male hormone tests did I find out that I had low Free Test, and high SHBG levels - not depression!. What I've discovered through my journey so far is that Male Hormone specialist are rare, it's a dark art. Which is unfortunate for men. Anyway, I was offered TRT but refused it due to trying for a baby and was told it may negatively effect the chances of conceiving. Now I am, starting the journey again, private blood tests done, GP referral done and Endocrinologist appointment in a few weeks. ,

I felt it on the 3rd day, I'm sure it's a near immediate effect

Have been feeling down and depressed with high anxiety, sex drive is non existant. asked my doc to test my testonrone and low and behold its low. had to do my secondary bloodwork and all was good outside of again having low testotrone. i start my TRT in 2 days and i have high hopes to getting back to myself. i see a ton of success stories and it gives me hope to becoming myself again.

I’ve been in touch with you guys and have received my first prescription. So far you’ve been fantastic and at a fair price, especially if I get some of my normal life back. I have such bad anxiety and depression, my libido is at rock bottom. Sleep pattern is shocking, so fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Just been tested with Alphagenix as having the symptoms…..(T = 11.1 FT = 0.195). so both low but within the normal range…I’ve been prescribed cyprionate 100mg twice a week……I’m thinking of getting a second blood test with optimale so I can get a alternate treatment quote of them…

My GP took me down the antidepressant road diagnosed me bipolar then adhd when I really had a fukin brain tumor . Arfter removal I was the low T poster boy. 170 ng/ dl and free was less than 3 pg/dl. 12 hours after my first injection, I realized I didn’t have Ed issues. It took awhile to get my protocol in a good place but I’ve lost 80 lbs in 18 months. After 6 months life started getting really good and the last year has been amazing.

My dr did the same damn thing. I was actually rated at 3.7 and low was a 4.1 and she said that it can swing to .6 in either direction. So fast forward a year. My dr was out on maternity leave and my fill in dr actually listened to me and I took 4 tests and my levels dropped to 1.27, 1.24, 2.26, and 2.8. I just took my first dose of Xyosted 100mg 2 days ago and I started feeling better within 5 hrs and it's progressively getting better every day! It's so important to have a physician who listens to their patients!! Thanks for sharing your experience!

I've just had my second blood test on the NHS. My fist reading was 9.7 my second was 8.5 nmol. I'm waiting for the endocrinologist to reply to my gp with advice on how to move forward. I think they're planning on putting me on the 3 monthly injections.

Thank you for sharing

To be able to sleep again... OMG. I can't wait to start! Very soon!!!

Had my test level done with the docs ,, My reading came back at 12 not sure weather this is low but my libido is basically zero I've just done the blood test with optimale so I'm waiting for results

I'm 58 and have been on TRT for three years. I started it almost a year after starting a regular and fairly intensive strength training/bodybuilding program that I'm still on to this day. My TRT range is kept in the high normal area, 700-800. Now, I'm well above average in strength and muscle mass for a male of ANY age group. Not a monster, but generally the most muscular man in the room, most of the time. Except in the gym favored by bodybuilders in which case I'm still by no means on the small end of the muscle mass range. Basically I feel younger and am fitter, healthier, and everything is just working great. Sex drive has improved, too, but it's not insanely high like it was when I was in my 20s, and I'm glad it isn't.

I need your guys help! Also. If you take dutatseride, would you be stopping the hairloss side effects because you won’t aromatise as much to dht?

Do you use HCG or pregnenolone/dhea in ur clinics?

The point about the gym and go impression is valid, I’ve lifted for years, within the same two week period I tested 7.7nmol/l total T and squatted 200kg in competition at 88kg bw (no history of peds)

I am currently in the pipeline for starting TRT treatment with Optimale, testosterone levels between 3 and 11! On numerous blood tests! Recommended Cypionate (0.25 twice a week) pretty excited but nervous at the same time! What are the benefits of hcg? I’m 44 and have a family, Also if it doesn’t have an affect, is it ok just to stop treatment, My symptoms are low libido and fatigue. Cheers.

I tried to have the conversation with my gp a few years ago and was shut down by her straight away. She wasn't interested in helping me at all. I was a idiot when I was younger and was using steroids from 16 years old, on and off until late 30s. I've just ordered my blood test through optimale, so I will see what happens.

I have all the symptoms of Low T but my free T is 0.26nmol/L do you think I should pursue replacement? Looking at the average fir a 50 year old it’s 52 nmol/L so I’m half what I should be !

My hairs quite thick. How much hair do you usually lose or does it just make it a bit thinner? I don’t suit a bald head so I don’t fancy that but I do want to get a test to see if I have low testosterone

I've been down for 5 years, start my treatment this week!

My doctor did bloods for me earlier in the year after my body completely crashed out. I'd almost passed out in the gym on a Monday and by the following Monday I still felt that first workout in the week prior.. I knew something was drastically wrong. I had a chronic vitamin D deficiency and my Testosterone was 8.2. I was crushed. He gave me 4000iu Vitamin D to take everyday for 6 weeks and we had another blood test. My vitamin D was back to normal and when I asked about my Testosterone he said it was 11, which was the lower end of normal, no further action I was a 17st heavyweight kickboxer in my 20s, that is NOT what my body considers "normal" at 36 I've been eating well, training hard, sleeping and while I'm grateful for being back in the gym I'm still not recovering well, getting tired some days and the weight id put on last year isn't shifting I ordered a kit from yourselves last week and fingers crossed I can get some way towards getting the rest of my quality of life back

You won't realise how good you feel on TRT until you come off it.

I'm 52 years old and following having a vasectomy I noticed a big drop in my libido but also felt I was dragging myself to the gym and teaching martial arts or training generally. After a couple of blood tests my testosterone was at 0.9 to 10 and was told this is normal but I pursued this and have now been prescribed testogel 40mg daily. I've been seriously on the fence whether to take it and still am. The side effects do really worry me especially the hair loss. I have no baldness in my family but does this still mean I'll lose my hair? Maybe the spray you mentioned would help combat this? Do you have the name again? I certainly want to get my old self back and I do want to start, so if I can combat the hair loss then I'll be happier.

My mate Andy wants to try this but is to scared his psycho misses would find out ! Would he have anything to be ashamed of if he took TRT ? please help asking for a freind 🙂

I’ve heard bad things about NHS TRT treatment. Is there another way?

In my teens, I was late developing puberty and like a stick, which could be metabolism. By 18 I developed severe anxiety and moderate depression in bouts also very low concentration since a childhood with add. Also found out I have very low sperm count after three different tests. I'm now 50 and nothing hasn't changed still patchy facial hair add and bouts of anxiety still on anti depressants. So I'm beginning to wonder now if this could be one cause instead of all these different diagnosis. Have never been tested for low testosterone.

Is there any uk equivalent to merek health. I believe I need tests done severely

i have been like this 8 years got tested by optimale testosterone level is 9.2 only got the result yesterday so will now start the process

whats up with enclomaphine,seems everyone is talking about it?

I’m starting on Nebido in a couple of weeks through the NHS, I think they’re going to start me on 10 weeks and see how I react to it and adjust accordingly.. if all that fails then I’ve got a private TRT clinic who can prescribe enanthate.. only benefit with NHS is that I’ll be getting free blood tests

61, just came across this video and can relate to the symptoms, My GP, waste of time, using age and the attitude of “that’s how it is”. Will be ordering blood test in the new year and then start treatment, only two concerns, not a fan of needles or self injection, help

I'm 51 I live in the USA and I used to train regularly since I was a teenager until my early 30s and then life happened and I had 2 kids and unfortunately went through a ruff breakup and ended up being a full time single dad about 11 years ago and if I wasn't a religious person and didn't have kids I probably wouldn't be here right now...I've slowly declined over the past 4 or 5 years now physically and mentally last year I had my testosterone checked when I got my physical and my number was 9.6 out of a range of 7.2 to 24.0 and my doctor just said oh you're fine you're within normal range....it's so frustrating and I'm now trying to find a new doctor that understands.

I have low libido and ed after taking antidepressants will trt help increase my libido and help ed?

I had testicular torsion too but I was 11. I wouldn't be surprised if it was related.

I'm seriously considering try as I just turned 40 and have alot of the symptoms but how much is this gonna cost considering it's a weekly injection??

Is daily sub q test cyp usually the ideal protocol?

My GP did the same with me…. She took my blood work and assumed that my T was okay but never tested T…

My T has been low at least a decade, 45 now. In my country doctors wont even start to discuss about TRT since my free T has been between 11-13 and 10 is the limit. I have severe depression, my life is totally meaningless, I really have a deathwish but Im not suicidal at all, not a quitter. So I came to Thailand where you can get things easily. At the moment its 1.5 weeks since I got my first Nebido shot to my butt and Im using Androgel at the same time. Doctor here told me that buy some Nebido before I leave and he writes a prescription for them. Problem nro 1: I have tried to ask few places but no one want to inject Nebido on me in my country. I found a video where they teach how to inject it by yourself or by a friend. Anyone shooting Nebido by himself? Problem nro 2: Should I follow some blood values wih just on TRT? Some talk PSA and red blood cells (I know this can be fixed by giving blood). Any other things that I should consider? So far my ED has improved significantly. Ive been training in gym over about 30 years, Im not doing new records but I had about a year pause from gym since other sports. What Ive been at the gym since Nebido I kind of feel somethings going on (I put all the weight on the bench press machine and could do about 6 reps), before nebido I wouldnt even try. Ive been really fit all my life execpt now Ive been gathering fat which I start to correct from now on by diet.

Visited doctor a few days ago considering my T levels (total 16,8 nmol/L or 485 ng/dL and free 16,64 pg/mL) and he said it's all in a range and perfectly normal. I'm 37 yo, very active, hitting gym and running half marathons... I'm not sure if I got it wrong or these levels are a bit low...

Been on 200mgs a week, 2 shots of 100mgs a week for about 2 years now. My libido changed after about 3 weeks. Im 52 and have sex 3-4 times a week. Recovery from workouts is great. Energy level is great. Hair down to the middle of my back. No skin issues at all. Im as strong as Ive ever been. Helped burn off stubborn belly fat. No hint of gyno. Sleep patterns normalized. I was always kind of a big guy so I didnt gain much more muscle mass but it was more like a little body recomposition. still have a little ED but can still orgasm. It changed my life and I recommend it to anyone who might think theyre low.

How can I lower my SHBG levels alittle for free testosterone levels? I'm tired of being tired!

I’ll be on week 3 of TRT tomorrow. I don’t feel any big differences yet. Sweat like fucken crazy while lifting which is rare because I use to rarely sweat. Hopping things will kick in. I’m on a low dose at the moment. 100ML a week.

So wait... I need to test alarmingly low for testosterone multiple times in order to be diagnosed as having low T... But I should pay $700 for a CPAP machine based on a 1-night sleep study? Tight. ... btw, my doctor seems to think that being on the mildest side of sleep apnea is more relevant than repeatedly testing slightly lower than what they conservatively consider to be the normal threshold for T.

I feel like this now but I'm just above the range where I can get trt

Can varicocele at young age cause low T?

What do you think to Testosterone Undecanote my doctor want to give me it every 10 weeks but heard nothing but bad things about it including that it doesn't get your test levels past 14 nmol/L and my natural test levels are between 11-13 haven't had a sex drive for 3 years and always lethargic

Most docs don’t know as much about this as a guy in the gym.

37 male. Lifted from 14-35. Haven’t in a year. Just for some reason finally stopped. I was the guy who people asked what I took. I would smile and be like idk you tell me and was natural. Anyway had my test checked last week. Was 82 lol. No wonder I feel like I can stare at a wall and feel so low. Just waiting on them to review the tests. But clearly 82 is absurd. Especially at my age.

My levels were roughly 14nmol/l and I still feel like crap. Slightly overweight, have had man boobs since puberty, social anxiety and cannot seem to lose weight or put muscle on. I'm 23 years old and something just doesn't feel right. I've never felt particularly "manly" either. I just don't get it. My blood test was from the nhs and they literally only tested my "Testosterone" levels. Could there be other hormones at play here?

Not to be crude but can anyone give me an idea of the cost? Im definitely interested but definitely on a limited income.

I am in a similar situation. I am at 10nmols. Took years to find out as I am told its normal. I have depression, no motivation, told to loose weight, do more exercise. I sleep 4 times a day so just have no energy. This happened in my early 30s. 10 years of it. But the NHS will not help me.

I got blood test results today. 6.10 im told its low. Doctor didnt give much information.. any ideas ?

For me personally I didn’t see a massive shift which was unfortunate. I definitely have more libido and better recovery. It also seems as though my depression doesn’t get nearly as low as it once did, like I would have weeks/months where I just felt absolutely horrible, similar with anxiety I generally don’t have massive peaks anymore. But overall for me it has been disappointing, I haven’t given up hope yet, for the first 6 or so months I was only on 10/mg test cyp a day. Which brought my total up quite high but my free barely went up and my E2 actually went down from my natural level. I then tried 30/mg a day which looking at the lab work is definitely too high. My free is now 40% over the reference range and my E2 has gone up 3.5x and is almost double the reference range. However I will say I don’t have a ton of structure in my life, I do think that’s pretty key, sure you fix your biology but if you’re not progressing in life you’re not going to feel good. As Dr. Robert Stevens says; “testosterone is a foundation hormone.” You guys had a house but a weak foundation, I had a weak foundation and also had no house lol.

My testosterone was 8 or something, and my nhs gp said that's normal and fobbed me off. Yet I feel all the symptoms of low T and I'm 54.

Tom said he grew his hair back, how did he manage that?

2:15, 14:25, 16:22

Are you private as my GP dismissed it straight away and gave my anti depressants

Wait..are these 2 young guys on trt?

And also when you are a beginner do you start with 0.2g every 3 days for injecting?

Jatenzo has increased everything, maybe its the testosterone, but everything is better. No anxiety, no depression god tier energy. 1 gel tab once a day i went from 94 to 460, im on 2 a day now. You feel like a literal god. By the way, jatenzo is only available to xxy patients. The capsule breaks in 30 mins and you hit the nice peak, unlike shots take 3 days or so.

Boom!

Is there any hair loss effects with testosterone enanthate 250m

Please please dont use dht blockers. You need dht. Use microneedling and minoxidil.

Sustaton once a week is unkind.

When you are doing all the right stuff and you feel like dog shit for years…… yea most doctors blow. Also try so hard to talk you out getting tested.

phytoestrogens are everywhere and in everything on purpose

I am about to start on testogel, would I be better off going for injections?

If your a woman the dr can just prescribe HRT as a man you have to jump through hoops then your not guaranteed. Thank god for optimale

To be fair, this is only one experience. Testosterone has also been shown to exacerbate feelings of anxiety and cause extreme panic. Everyone is different. Use at your own risk.

My 52 year old husband at the time was low T. He took this and it made him an abusive hot head. We divorced. I’ll never be around a man on this. Take vitamin d and get your levels back. He was horribly abusive to me.

Do not use Optimale. Money grabbers!!!

Once again the this is your experience.everyone is different so 👎🏻

TRT had absolutely no effect for me. No ability to gain muscle and absolutely no increase in libido. Total nonsense and hype.
