Ok guys, first and foremost this is my own personal view of trt. That being said, a little light history of me for those who don't know, short version. Did drugs as a kid, into adulthood, hormones permanently screwed. Puberty for me was a very mild thing. Other factors may have contributed but I firmly believe that lazing around getting high and tripping out had more than anything to do with my poor hormones, but I may be wrong. Got off the drugs and into working out in my mid 20's. Not so great sucess. Anyways I got on trt last year. It totally and utterly rocked my world. Completely changed my personality. Total 180. Now for someone in my shoes, I say it is a miracle. The benefits definatly outweigh the risks for me. However, for someone with midrange hormones, in my personal opinion I would suggest that you try to get your levels up naturally first with diet, exercise and a few good supplements. TRT is not "cool" guys. It is a lifelong thing. There is no pct for me. I HAVE to take this for the rest of my life just to feel normal. If there is any possibility at all of getting your hormones naturally then please please go that route. You guys running 500+ levels natty have no idea how lucky you are. If the natural route doesnt work, try the clomid test. It is a way using clomid to test if you are primary or secondary hypogonadal. That is the route to go first. Some guys need only clomid to get their levels up, some need HCG, and others if all else fails need exogenous testosterone. I think too many guys jump on trt when they don't really need it without thinking about the ramifications. It can be done safely, but it's a balancing act of getting dialed in and staying dialed in. Why go through that if you can feel normal naturally? Just some food for thought.
