After two years of 100ml/wk, I wondered how much I really needed it. Cut by half for two months. Spoiler alert: motivation tanked, fatigue increased, etc. Everything degraded enough to remind me why I went on it in the first place. I didn't even bother with new blood work - I just went back to the dose my Dr. prescribed and a few weeks later I felt normal again. I'm 50 and this is typical. I was not surprised, but I wanted to verify. I do not suggest younger people take this stuff unless you have a serious medical condition. TRT is _restoration_ for those of us where nature (aging) shut us down. This is not a magic dose to make you more manly - quite the opposite. Taking it too young can essentially _make_ you dependent on it by lowering your natural production. If you have enough natural production, keep it.

Levels are about 360 range i would like to stop the injections and try to maintain my levels naturally but im afraid of going back down again ive been taking 1cc a week could you give me your thoughts or recommendations on what i should do next should i continue to stay on them or get off the main reason i would like to stop is i dont want long term side effects and i suffer from acne on my face and head thanks 👍

Great content!!! From what i understand if you take testosterone, your body will eventually return to producing it normally (as it was before treatment) after a month or two... or will it slightly decrease? Question, if i take an average dose of testosterone for lets say 3 months. And once im off the trt.... My bidy eill produce more estrogen. Is thst permanent? Long term? Or just a few weeks short term?

Increased estrogen production is temporary and directly related to the amount of testosterone increasing. The surge in fsh that comes back on (when u stop TRT) increases the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

Stopped trt at start of April and Clomid towards middle of May, the drop in libido was really head wrecking for me and I went back on the clomid, it may improvements but again after two weeks I crashed so I’m cold Turkey with a month. It’s start of September and I’m still crawling in terms of libido and strength is way down. I went to doctor who said I should wait the three months. My question is should I try HCG injection as I have read in a number of sources that extended use of clomid can cause this ?

Dude, YES, try HCG. Probably what you should have done from the beginning. Do some research on it. There's some great info right here on youtube. This guy named Steve who's very vigorous has some great info. The HCG will act as LH and help stimulate the testes to come back from vacation. It's essential to regaining testicular function. Another option would be HMG.

Is there a risk of blood clots using TRT? We all read a lot on this subject.Also is a supplement required for the issue of estrogen?

Hi Doc, I was pelleted in mid-April of this year (about 6 months ago). The doctor gave me way too much (12 pellets total, levels went above 2000), and consequently I had a number of adverse effects. I extruded 3 pellets over the last two months (yes, after the incision site had healed- 3 times over), but I am roughly at the 6 month marker and have decided not to re-pellet. I initially did not notice much of an effect, but all of a sudden I am getting super sleepy and fatigued about mid-day (this is not normal for me). My motivation at the gym has decreased slightly, but I am still able to push myself to go (and my lift is close to what it was- I am losing strength). The last pellet extruded was about 2 weeks ago. Any idea if this sounds normal, and what I can expect? The pellets that remain are super small now (the one that came out recently was at least 70% dissolved). As I understand pellets, they are essentially NOT doing anything for me at this point, but there is still a little left in them. Do they have to be completely gone before my system restores to "normal".

Hey Doc, I was on trt for about 17 weeks. Cypionate. 200ml per week for the first 12 weeks and 250ml per week for the last 5 weeks. I stopped cold turkey almost 3 weeks ago and haven't noticed many negative symptoms besides more fatique (never really got good benefits from the trt anyway), but now im dropping weight like crazy. Im only at a 500 cal deficit so I should only be losong 1lb of body fat per week. In the last 3 weeks since coming off trt I've lost 8 lbs so i suspect 5lbs of that is muscle mass. I gained 7lbs total lbs of muscle mass while on trt for those 4 months (as per the bodpod) and now im worrying big time that I'll lose all my muscle that i was finally able to gain with trt. My acne surged about a week or so ago, indicating the hormonal change and my original natural T level was 478. How long do you think it'll take to get back to normal levels so i can stop losing muscle? (Never did blood work while injecting so no clue what my enhanced T levels were.) TIA Doc.

@FamilyManMoving

That depends entirely on the human, your health, diet, and activities. Which is why you won't get an answer. In general the half-life of most esters is in the 8-9 day range, so you'd think it's an easy piece of math. The truth is the values are dependent on things like adipose tissue amounts (fat %) and probably 20 other endocrine systems. Heck, a few nights of bad sleep will throw your numbers off 100, even when you are in treatment. Assume an experiment where you went off cold, took a daily chart of your descent, then went back on. You repeat the experiment a year later. You are likely to see a completely different descent profile the following year.

I suggest you find a medical practice that helps people get off PEDs. There is some serious chemistry involved and the fact you "tapered" to what is almost the max FDA weekly dose suggests you did a lot more. Plus the steroids. HCG is hit or miss (I regret trying it because it caused serious facial rosacea). From your comments I assume your composition is not natural, and that you are younger. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to look into some therapy to accept yourself with a more natural form. You won't become a walking stick figure, but people coming of PEDs often _feel_ that way. This is a sign. Cycles have lifetime consequences. I have met few 50 year olds who were happy they cycled PEDs in their 20s and 30s (I'm over 50). I do not want to sound condescending (internet comments kinda suck for "talking" with another person), so please accept this as some guy just offering some ideas to a fellow man. Good luck. Hey: quick edit. At my age and a small replacement dose of Test (I am in the mid normal range), I still have broad shoulders, narrow waist and low body fat. Good definition, and if I work it I can get the six pack. Even with kids. Friends say I look "jacked", but nobody would mistake me for a competition builder. I don't measure biceps. My wife says I have the "old school GQ man build, like Beckham in the 90s before every man got 'roided up or went trans." She's a doll (I'm no Beckham). Point being: men like us - who do the work and watch our diets - are the top 5-10% of the western world - _without cycling gear_ . Take the win, my brother.

His progesterone is high and estrogen is high-normal. His ratio of free to total test is off - his free levels are fairly low. That combined with the higher E and P ...my guess is he is overweight? Adipose (fat) tissue has higher aromatase, which metabolizes T into E. Script mills will tell him to take an aromatase inhibitor, but that can cause low libido (and makes people feel like garbage). The real answer might be getting diet, exercise and sleep in order. If he has high body fat, he needs to get that down. Testosterone is not a magic elixir - it only enhances what you have. So the answer might be, "do it the hard way". If his weight in in check, his next stop might be a urologist. Also ask if he's into porn. That stuff is massively destructive to "real" libido - meaning interest in actual humans. Don't judge or get angry. But maybe work with him. edit: I forgot to mention alcohol. Wow. That stuff is bad, especially when we get over 40. Try going sober two weeks and see if that makes things better. If two weeks without drink is too hard...that's the sign he should plan to stop drinking _forever_ . Help is out there.

that is common with topical. There is a new video coming out on this soon. The main thing is ho wand when you are checking your testosterone levels.

So guys, I know I’m gonna get a lot of hate and stuff but I’m 22 almost 23 in February. But I’ve been working out for 2 years and have always done research about peds. I was stupid at one point and did rad 140. Did not know you had to do test with it. Test was bottomed out when I came off and didn’t go back to normal for months. This was like a year ago but I’ve jus the other day decided to start a cycle of test. I did my first shot yesterday and I’m kinda having regret.

can you make one but when start taking in?

I just stopped TRT after 20 months on @ only 100ml cyp dosage every 8-12 days. It's been 5 weeks since last shot and it was a bumpy ride up until 4 days ago. My sleep was bad, waking up every night at 2-3AM not being able to get solid rest for rest of night. My energy was terrible, depression, anxiety and worry. Loss of muscle mass. I just recently began to feel somewhat better however my libido is almost nothing! I was crazy great with libido prior to stopping. My question is if I take another pct dosage of HCG with clomid/nova, will this help restore my normal function sexually? I understand I will not be as crazy with libido desires as on TRT (that is one reason I wanted to stop TRT, just too horny CONSTANTLY) My age is 63 and there are other reasons I wish to try and stay off TRT and be natural if possible. Thx

The testosterone ester also plays a huge part in how much time it takes for your body to start producing testosterone again once you stop TRT. I have been on TRT for about 1 year and a few months between 2020 and 2021 using testosterone undecanoate (Nebido) doing the recommended 4ml (1000mg test) every 3 months and my body started producing testosterone again after 8 months. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I stopped taking nebido in June 2021 and only in January 2022 my testosterone started to rise and actually increase past what I was having before TRT. I started TRT because my blood test reported ~3-4 nmol/l of total testosterone and almost 0 free testosterone. While I was off TRT, between June and January, I was having almost 0 total testosterone left in my body and once January hit, my blood work reported ~13-14 nmol/l of total test and ~10-11 pg/ml. At that time, I was 21 years old and unfortunately, I had to start TRT again last week because my levels dropped before minimum again, being 7.67 nmol/l of total test and 3.99 pg/ml of free test, but this time I am using testosterone enanthate because I don't want to ever go through almost 1 year of having literally no test agian.

@@iamthefiremanjj Currently I am on TRT again because my levels dropped below "normal" levels (although the range is between min and max is pretty large if you ask me) and I started with Testosterone Enanthate (bought from an UGL lab as nothing other than Undecanoate and gels are sold here from pharma grade) and started with 175mg/week and later dialed back to 125mg/week as my Estradiol was pretty high (112pg/ml). I am currently on Androgel (testosterone gel) as I want to see if my E2 self regulates with daily testosterone because even with 100mg/week of Enanthate and using 2mg of Anastrozole, my E2 would not go below 80pg/ml. Currently I am trying to find my best Androgel daily dose is as with the recommended starting dose, I am at 7nmol/l of total testosterone.

Start first with cleaning up your diet, organic high quality meat, food, no junk food and processed crap, go to the gym lift weight, squat, sprint as well, slow down on porn. You’re young your levels should naturally go up in few weeks/months buddy

what if i stay on for life ??

29 year old here , I’ve been on T for about 6 months taking 200 MG per week and want to come off because I’m worried about having kids in the future…shiukd I worried ?

thank you for the info, just subbed to your channel, I'm 25 been on TRT for 2years and I wanna come off, it was a mistake, therefore I have a question: do you think Clomiphene and/or hCG can help speedup the process of regaining natural T ?!

No it won’t. The main thing is it going back to where u started before going on testosterone. It won’t increase beyond that wether you are young or old. In some cases it will be lower than when u started

A lot of ppl in the comments just sound like anxiety that’s what was up with me my test was good just worrying about it to much

I started at 47yrs old, my levels were 504 on 1 test & lower on another. My Doc said hes never seen someone that low.. So I started 2000mg/10ml (1ml injection per week) Im 53 now & still take TRT Injections however, I've decreased & started kind of micro dosing i suppose. I quit for 4 weeks, because my levels rose to 1200. *Natural - I noticed energy increase like no other a week after starting TRT with penis / testicle growth. I would get hard just driving down the road or mowing the grass. Slightly painful erections & I went from 6" to 7.5", also larger in Girth, so Momma is happy. Plus I'm on Blood thinners, give blood & I also take Anastrozole for the back pimples & other side effects. Hairy shoulders bother me but I shave that. I'm 6'1" 175lb and I dont work out or interested in getting "Jacked". I have a dresser full of Testosterone boxes unopened, yet. I take depending on how I'm feeling now. I don't notice anything when i stop taking for a month or 2

Why did you stop for 4 weeks when the level was 1200? That is actually perfecto. They say 750-1200 is what you want on TRT. That is the youthful level. I got to 2650 because they had me doses too frequently. I did not even notice the difference between how it feels with 1200 versus 2600. So less anything above 1000 is just more of the same.
