Just started TRT

[Mmartin]

Hey everybody. Just started TRT yesterday, 100mg depo-test/week. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the doctor to use 200mg on the first inject (I am sort of guiding a local doctor with the treatment). Should I frontload 200mg next week, or just keep up with 100mg?

On to the next question:
This is difficult to explain, and I wish I could provide a more precise explanation, but I've been experiencing slight "sensations" from time to time. Odd feelings in my head - a slight tingling or something similar. My nipples are slightly darker in colour, and my penis seems softer. I usually only ever have half-erect spontaneous erections, but they seemed more frequent today despite getting only 6 hours of sleep (I usually function best on 8).
I'm still very fatigued, although I seem to get very short bursts of energy. By short I mean a few seconds where I feel just great, and then the feeling passes. My libido seems the same way - I've had maybe one or two short episodes (lasting a few seconds) where I got that jumpstart in my pants after looking at that girl's tight ass in yoga pants.

I understand it's only been about ~24 hours, but I just wanted to make sure these things aren't symptomatic of something bad (head tingling, nipple colour, softer penis). Urination also feels slightly different, though I can't pinpoint how.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I've read over at SBI that someone else had similar symptoms that disapated after his body became accustomed to the exogeneous testosterone. It's not to say that you don't have something else wrong with you, I'm just saying. Also, from what I've read, testosterone deficiency can cause problems with urination this way;
Your PC muscles (the ones you use to stop urination in mid-stream) are potent with testosterone receptors, moreso than anywhere else in your body. Lack of testosterone can weaken those muscles, causing the loss of control. Theorizing; maybe your testosterone deficiency was doing this, and you'd become accustomed to weak PC muscles. Now that you're a total stud (testosterone-wise) urination feel 'un-natural'.

forgive grammer and spelling errors... it's early in the morning.

It amazes me sometimes how much stuff guys come up with in the first 24 hours after their very first TRT injection.

I have a one word bit of advice: relax.

Heh, yeah, I suspected my mind was just coming up with things to freak me out.
Thanks

Don't bother injecting the 200mg, you will still normalize after several weeks.

After my first injection, I woke up VERY early the next morning like I was being shot out of a cannon, after much less sleep than normal. It has happened after a few other T shots too. Melatonin is supposed to help with quality of sleep, so you might consider it.

I wonder if it would be possible to get a subsection of the forum dedicated to member journals? This way we could keep a sort of weekly or monthly journal recording what works and what doesn't, how we feel, our treatment, etc, without cluttering up the primary forum.

Just an idea

I didn't notice anything for at least a month after my first injection. But the benefits eventually started to arrive. My issues with fatigue are still improving, and its now been four months since I started. I'm still trying to figure out what I think about the hCG that I recently added to the regimen.
