How Long For TRT to Work?

I've been on TRT for 5 months now, and it's had a huge positive impact on my life. I've gained muscle mass, lost fat, gained confidence, and feel great. I now do things to improve my life instead of accepting second best, so I've decided to divorce the wife.

My physique has changed enormously, I now have more or less the body I always dreamed of, but I also have been working out coonsistently for four years.

Totally depends on your levels to start, if the dose they put you on is high enough (I can tell you how crucial this is. They started me too low and my levels went down 200%.

[@jacoblas1371]

Based on your symptoms, you appear to be exhibiting the consequences of low testosterone. Numbers are not everything. What advice did your doctor give you based on your symptoms? Are you doing anything to help boost your natural testosterone production or further investigations to determine the cause of your low T ? Like your LH FSH levels? About 3 months ago my natural testosterone production crashed and went below normal. I discovered that if my body fat drops below a certain level, it causes my testosterone production to crash. No doctor can explain why. When I gained weight, my testosterone levels recovered. Make sure your doctor does all the necessary investigations to help determine your low T, as maybe it's something you can fix without resorting to TRT.

I have been struggling really badly with cortisol on all doses and had my levels tested throughout the process for 2 months. The point you make about testosterone receptors not binding as well as dht due to potentially not doing much exercise is very interesting and might be my last hope. My question is, if the replacement therapy is binding to dht and not testosterone because I don’t have enough receptors would that cause high cortisol? Because I hadn’t trained well for years before starting TRT due to injuries

[@swintegrative]

Basically no but exercise increases androgen receptors and testosterone and DHT bind there.

[@dylanwheatley-k3f]

Ok thank you. Aside from testosterone being to high or too low, is there another common reason for getting high cortisol from taking TRT?

The vast majority of people get improvement from it but like with anything it depends…what r u using it for Getting the dosage right and carful monitoring…All the doctor stuff. Problem is not every clinic does it the same and that is where is get mixed results.

[@bostoniannow3635]

Thank you. My test at 57yld is 350ng. My doctor thinks it's not a problem. But im obese and have no energy. 250 test from a clinic makes me feel a whole lot better

Try is bad idea for low testosterone

[@grudzien9784]

I tested myself and I found that my test level is very low. It’s said that the healthy levels are between 300 on the low end and 900 on the high end. Well mine is 137. I am 47 and for the last few years I have really noticed the difference from what I used to feel like. I feel this is the way to go. I have a question, do doctors accept results from EVERYWELL online clinic? Or should I be retested? I have so many questions. Will anyone plz answer? I would really appreciate it

[@swintegrative]

They should but may want to do another test. Typically need to do 2 tests anyway.

[@grudzien9784]

How do you know how many times a month to inject? Some say 2 weeks some say 1?? Some even do multiple times a week?????

[@kennyphelps1160]

You definitely don’t want to be injecting once every two weeks unless you are on undeconate 2x week is good

Just did my first blood hormone panel ever. Is this a good blood panel need your input? I have all the symptoms of low T except for ed, I'm 5ft9" just cut from 200lbs to 187lbs train 5 days a week volume and intensity heavy too crazy strong physically. But feel like crap mentally Total Testosterone at 497 the Normal range 263-916 ng/dl Shbg 38.1 nmol/L normal range 16.5-55.9 nmol/l Testosterone Free Calc 88.4 pg/ml normal range 42.3-190.0 pg/ml IGF-1 Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 241 ng/ml normal range 95-290 ng/ml LH 4.1 normal range 1.8-8.6.

I normally transform my body way faster than the average person with proper food and decent sleep training hard of course. However when I stop training and eat like trash I also get out of shape just as fast. So i can work out for 12-20 weeks 5 days minimum a week and literally look like I been training for year or years. I been working overnights for the last year and not sleeping well I been training again from taking 5 months off got out of shape and now am some months into training now but this year has been weird I'm not transforming as fast. I just had my hormone panel blood test done for the first time in life would like your input on it.

[@swintegrative]

Poor seep can really affect recovery and hormone output. Your levels look average not low not high. not optimal but not super low. Sleep would be my first guess.
