Testosterone for life?

[M.P.]

Just wondering if there are any older folks like myself (i'm 47), that have ongoing experience with Testosterone supplementation for extended periods of time. I have cycled Test E a couple times , and got positive results from it, however due to my many aches and pains and lack of libido, i am considering getting on a lifetime supplementation of Testosterone ( HGH is far too expensive for me unfortunately, plus i do not have any reliable sources as i once did ). Since my devorce 3 years ago i have not worked out and have been feeling worse every day so i need some help, and i thought Test would be my ticket out of this rut i've been in and help me feel good again. Good advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes many people do. Its called testosterone replacement therapy. Try to find an HRT (Hormone replacement therepy) clinic around where you live. If they do a blood test and your natural testosterone is low. they will prescribe it to you. You could also get HGH prescribed to you as well. Id get a blood test to verify your test is low before you just jump into it though.

Thanks... im still not sure which way to go but this helps.

GH is not much more expensive than testosterone factoring in the blood testing that you should be doing every couple of months anyway. I would put it off until you're prepared to do it right.

Correct me if im wrong but - Tribulus Terrestris is a form of Testosterone therapy isn't it? ; increases Libido, and a sports enhancement?
possibly worth looking into, and could prove Cheaper in the long run?
if im on the right kinda lines, hopefully that could help?

No, theres a long argument that it frees up Free test (SHBG)some studies show a positive review others say no evidence of increased SHBG.

One thing for sure,it will enhance the libido about 30 minutes after consuming.

I am 50 yr old and had my test checked. It was about 300 and I felt like crap. I started taking Dim (Diindolylmethane) and stared feeling better within a week. I had my test checked again after 3 months and it was up to 500.
The problem with taking HRT is that it will cause your body to shut down its natural testosterone production.
Clomib will boost test levels by causing your body to make its own or if you have an excess estrogen problem as most men do over the age of 45 then Aromasin will help by blocking the conversion of test to estrogen.
I just started on 12mg/day of Aromasin, so far it seems to be working. I have more energy and feel better all around.

You can use HMG during HRT to keep your testicles producing their own test and spermatogenesis.

This is true but you can't ignore the possibility of elevated estrogen levels especially in older men.
Quote from rxhealthdrugs.
"HMG can be most effective when ran alongside other LH stimulating drugs such as HCG, clomid, and nolvadex. A typical dose of 75-150iu a day for 2 weeks is sufficient for restoring normal testicular function and sperm count in males. One may also wish to run an anti-estrogen such as aromasin during administration of this drug due to the possibility of elevated estrogen levels."
