started TRT today with test cyp

[XMAN.]

Anyone else go through a period of feeling a bit better, then kinda crashing back to the beginning?

Ive had 5 shits at 100 mg a week now
Weeks 3 and 4 I felt improvement, thought wow here we go it's getting better.
But since last week after the 5 th shit, Ive gone back to feeling like crap.

Guess I gotta hope when I find out the results of my latest blood work this
Tuesday that the levels are still low enough to justify upping the dose.

I know I gotta try to stay positive, but there are times when I can't help
Thinking how much this sucks, and wonder if I'm gonna find that sweet spot,
Or will it be a roller coaster for months till it's better.

I've read how some guys burn through test faster then others and require a higher
Them normal dose, maybe I'm that way as well

Anyway, just wanted to share that and get some opinions

Thanx guys

most ppl need more than a 100mg/w dose , most probably ur doc is going to increase ur dosage at ur next scheduled visit.

Yeah that's what I've been reading as well.
I've even said that my doc , I knew right away he knew nothing about this stuff
Cause he looked at me and said, oh u would never get more then a 100 a week
Got my fingers crossed that the endo I see in March knows her stuff

good luck with ur new doc. , maybe she's hot and can fix ur libido issues lol

Too funny
She gives me a shot and I give her one back right!

Hey guy
Got my latest results today
Total T 15.2. Range 8.4 to 28.7
Free T. 40.3. Range 25.0 to 80.0
Estradiol 156. Range 43 to 151

The numbers have gone up, but I still think he's a quak!
The numbers are barely mid range and he was all excited.
Never even asked me how I actually feel , he just looks at numbers.
Estrogen was high according to the lab, all he said was were not gonna
Do anything when it's just 5 points over!
Give me a break over is over.
I'm gonna call the specialist and tell them to try to squeeze me in sooner
I can't wait till march under my regular docs care!

Hey guys
Got another new set of results today

Total T 17.9 Range 8.4 to 28.7
Free T. 49.5 Range 25.0 to 80.0
Estradiol 149 Range 43 to 151

Doc was unwilling to think I need an increase, or in need of something to
Bring estrogen down.
When I said I still feel terrible all he offered was "maybe it's something else"

This got me to thinking, maybe so, I'm inclined to believe the estrogen is causing issues
Just because around week 3 I started to feel a bit better, then it quickly went away.

So I'm asking all u more experienced guys, what else do u think could be happening here?
I know the adrenals could have issues, do adrenal glands interfere with the testosterone
Doing it's job?
My numbers are far from great , but it's odd that since I had very low numbers
To now with the numbers higher, not much in the way of improvement has been seen.

I so badly want to start self meditating just based on what I've learned so far.
But if I do that I'll screw myself. Cause I see the endo march 7 th and she'll want
To run her own tests.
It's just really getting to me now that's it's 10 weeks in and I'm still not really
Different then week 1 .
And the more I read online about other guys stories, and there are so many
Guys who say they've had 2 or 3 shots of the same amount as me, and
There feeling great, it's great for them, but depressing for me, I'm feeling
As thought something else is wrong with me.

Thanx guys

Are you insulin resistant?

 

[augor]

Hi
Not that I'm aware of
How would one know this?

 

[hannes joubert]

Have bloodwork done in order to determine your insulin status...

The reason I mentioned it is purely because I am also on TRT for close to 7 weeks now and no improvement has been had ito energy, weight loss, fatigue etc despite all my figures indicating a need for TRT. After discussing this with my Doc, and my symptoms after eating carbs I had my glucose profile done, she suspects insulin resistance. Perhaps you are suffering from the same...
