Anyone here below 30 on TRT?

[tical]

Curious as to how many of you guys below 30 are on TRT and if steroids played a role (for instance, if you were unable to recover).

I went to an endo and told him what was up (I need a solid PCT) but he put me on TRT 100mg test depot EW...

I haven't taken anything yet because I'd rather see what my levels are naturally...

When I started talking about HCG he said it wouldn't help and it is only for testicular mass, etc.. he seemed pretty inexperienced.

I did a baseline test before I ever touched steroids in 2004 and my natural testosterone level was 324 which is pretty low, the range was 250-800. I was only 22 at this time as well.

I'm wondering what my testosterone will be after a solid PCT becasue as of my last blood test it was 54. LH & FSH were below 0.3...

It sure is tempting because I'm in a huge funk right now... feel like total SHIT..

Anyway, how many others here are on TRT under 30 y/o?

If he put you on 100 mgs a week, you'll never recover. You have to let your body build itself back up. Some supps will help but it's going to be a long haul.

The price you pay. A lesson to all.

Yeah, the funny thing is he said... "we'll start you on 100mg per week and see if you naturally start to recover"

then i was thinking wtf is this guy thinking... he has to know i wont recover if he does this

sucks to wait so long to see a 'respected' endo and then realize he doesn't know wtf he's talking about

Why will you never recover aslong as you use an AI to control estrogen and some HCG throughout?

Most endos don't know shit about recovering from steroids. If anything, MAYBE a little proviron and an anti e to get you over the hump, but 100 mgs of T is suppressive and he should know that.

Unless you want to be on full time HRT, 100mg/wk is a common dose for that.
I would strongly advise against it at your age.

Are there any endos that specialize in steroid recovery?

yeah totally, i was just waiting for the appointment / hoping he'd prescribe me what I needed for PCT but it looks like i'll need to try another route for that

no way i'm going on TRT right now especially when I know why i'm shut down

i've been taking 20mg nolvadex for about 2 weeks now and it seems to be helping a little (some 'wood' and my mood is not as bad as frequently) but my testies are atrophied and i know thats hindering a full recovery

i'll keep you guys posted

nelson is right, a lot of docs are probably very inexperienced when it comes to this... if i was just a newb steroid kid right out of high school (save it, i know i could have been smarter about this) that never did any research and just took some pills & shut myself down of course i'd be listening to the doc and probably fuck myself even more so down the road

i wonder how many docs handle situations like mine this way... he even mentioned that he's had other bbers come in that were shut down and he put on TRT for life

how many of those guys could have actually recovered their natural hpta by following a solid recovery program...
