Took the plunge and started HRT!

[shavas]

Just started HRT last week. Am 39 y/o and had BW done and test results were on the low side (12.80 nmol/L, range 10-30). Have done about 5 test cycles over the last few years but I think my test levels have always been on the low side (had not done any gear in last several months) and lately have been feeling more sluggish, lower libido etc. Saw and endocrologist and he prescribed test c 100mg/week along with arimidex .25mg 2/week and HCG 500IU 2/week. Am on day 5 and am feeling really good, dramatic increase in energy, sex drive and sense of well being. I think this pharmacy grade test and HCG might be a lot more potent than the non-pharmancy stuff I've used before as it seems to have come on faster and stronger. Currently 5'10", 172lbs, 11% BF so interested to see how my body responds. In the past it has responded very well with test but that was with higher doses, ie 250-500mg /week and would put on about 20lbs in 6 weeks. Anyways, glad I've done this and looking forward to having high, stable test levels at long last!

On week two and feeling absolutely amazing. Energy up for everything, great mood, good strength gains in gym, up 8 pounds, bf down a percent, libido is incredible... Feel like a new person and can't wait to just keep feeling this way!

Thanks bros! Yeah I could feel the test within hours with random wood and feel totally revitatlized now. Muscles feel pumped and strength is up a good 10% -15% at the gym in everything. Feel just a good calm energy and higher focus. Can handle stressful situations at work with ease as compared to before. Don't feel any dips during the week, just good steady energy on tap!

Three months into HRT and everything is going really well. Up 21lbs, down in bf slightly and strength way up in everything. Still doing HCG twice weekly, now at 250IU/ week from 500/week. Using arimedix fairly sparringly, sometimes just 0.25mg once or twice a week or sometimes not at all. Libido is still excellent, knock on wood lol. I throw in a bit of dostinex now and then just to knock prolacting levels down in case they are up at all for any reason. Focus and energy having been great since starting HRT. Will probably get some blood work in the relatively near future to see just how everything is looking but I imagine my test levels would be in the high normal and E2 right around mid normal level.
