Recovery Log!! (in HM ONLY)

On the brightside this is A LOT easier when you DONT have a gf or significant other because you can have a dead dick and libido for a few months and not stress about it.

I don't think I could do this if I had a gf because of the constant pressure to perform and have sex.
 
I know there s a few forums that guys claim to get a significant boost in wellbeing from no fapping maybe its a test boost?
 
Day 23
Low grade headache this morning.
I also felt naseous but I think that was from the metformin XR I am taking. I dosed last night because I forgot to take my morning dose so I think dosing again this morning was too much. The nausea and wanting to throw up is not a normal feeling. The low grade headache however is. This seems to be a symptom of low T which I recognize fairly well.

I am concerned I didnt use the Hcg for long enough because my testicles are still small. But I dont want to jump back on because it is suppressive and will negate the time i've been off.

I think the only soln is time.

Going to lift some weights today so hopefully that will make me feel better.

Day 23 contd
Had a pretty solid workout.

I dont really understand it because I havent lost ANY strength in the gym and infact i'm lifting more weight than I was on TRT for some excercises. I'm doing more weight for chest and bicep curls etc. It's like I feel stronger now than I did while I was on T but my energy levels outside the gym havent caught up.

I like coming out of the gym feeling good/strong though!
 
So I contacted my endo and he said I should have kept taking the Beta Hcg.
He said that in my situation it may take a few months before my body starts producing it's own testosterone and stopping the Hcg injections would most likely make that time longer not shorter.
 
Its one of those decisions where you ll probably be second guessing yourself no matter which choice you make. Its a tough one either way.
 
Day 25
I feel socially withdrawn at work. I also feel a bit anxious.

Its frustrating that I can't do anything to speed up this process.
 
I've gone back and forth about restarting the Hcg.

Right now my goal is to tough it out through this week and then re-evaluate.

Hcg doesn't even make me feel good so it's not like restarting it will help much. It may improve my energy a bit but it makes me feel like shit mood wise.
 
Any chance you could take some time off work like some sort of stress leave to give yourself a few weeks of hpta recovery?

I already took a week off during the Clomid week so I have no time left to take. I could go on disability but that's a huge production and I might lose my job.

Also physically I am able to get to work but mentally emotionally and fatigue wise it's very tough.
 
I just had to give a presentation at work feeling like absolute garbage. That was literally one of the toughest things I've had to do during this recovery so far.

I somehow did it and I feel like that was a mini victory.
 
I feel like I'm sitting under 200ng/dl right now just subjectively and I wonder when/if I'll see improvement.

Right now my mindset is just make it to tomorrow. And then the next day and the next day etc
