trt stopped working ?

[benrock]

i have been on 100mg every 5 days for 3 months now and i feel that its not the same , my strength went away , libido is not as strong , overall wellbeing is gone , muscle size went down .



31 yr old male , blood work shows over 900 on test and free test was at the top range , estradiol was on the lower side 17 . thyroid was perfect !!!

any thoughts ?

How is your adrenal function? DHEA and cortisol.

Also what is your SHBG? Estradiol 17 may be too low.

Whats other aspects of our health like i.e. diet & exercise regime?

This will affect your wellbeing and libido through chemicals like dopamine released during exercise. Also strength alone doesn't increase just by taking testosterone - only strength training will do this with healthy testosterone levels.

One other consideration - what was sampling method when tested for TT, e2 etc?

How soon was sample taken after injection? - was it near injection site..might be false result?

A decrease in libido, etc. is common within 6 months or so of starting TRT unless hcg is administered concurently. Probably because no one is entirely primary or secondary and the body adjusts to the higher T level by producing less. As mentioned earlier, doubt if your T is truly 900. Depends on the injection and testing interval. If it is, your E2 is way up or other factors are preventing T levels from having their normal effect.

Those levels are normal. Maybe just a tad on the low side.
Why is your diet crappy?

This is not so scientific but make sure you work out hard. I have friends who say that if they are not working out and using the basic lifts they feel that their body does not use the testosterone as much as it should.

also what about prolactin?

If you inject once a week you want to add 250iu of HCG on the 2 days before shot day (500iu total). I do my weekly shot on Wednesdays so I have my HCG shots on Mondays and Tuesdays.
