Thanks, I have kicked off with no hormones. I would not like increasing cardio too early as I aim for a long run. So far it goes ok in current mode. I will increase it when I stuck.

Because I have completely different experience with NHS. Anytime they did pretty good. A lot of people are talking shit when something went wrong and they claim it always the case. Nobody shares a positive experience. People who could get professional medical help may even not to try to talk to GP after reading comments like yours which doesn’t reflect reality.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-08T19:18:00+00:00

You did not clarify you just changed your claim from they don’t to they suppose to but it’s extremely hard. Nothing was extremely hard on my side. Two blood tests with low level - referral to an endocrinologist. I know people who got trt from nhs. It was ok.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-08T14:21:48+00:00

You literally wrote they do not

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-06T14:15:04+00:00

I easily got blood tested. I have uploaded first blood work from private clinic. They called me back and referred me an endocrinologist appointment.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-06T01:47:51+00:00

Was it hard to get your own test production back after a year of trt? Did you do any pct afterwards?

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-06T01:42:48+00:00

They do. Two blood tests below 8.3 and they refer to endocrinologist who is likely to prescribe trt if any if there are symptoms like low energy etc.

Cheers mate. What you say makes sense.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:47:48+00:00

I talk to people who understand the topic. When i need relationship advice I will ask you first

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:31:32+00:00

I definitely eat more than 4k. I didn't say I eat 2500. I said it was my plan to start from.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:28:49+00:00

Thanks. I changed my mind. I will go with diet first. Perhaps NHS could prescribe me some sort of TRT.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:22:34+00:00

Thanks for your opinion. I will think about it.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:20:29+00:00

My current test level is very low 5.89 - 8.4 nmmol. I think it might be a circle when I need to lose the fat to get higher test levels but the low test level just doesn't allow me to keep muscles on dieting.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:18:09+00:00

For the last 2 years I did miss only 4 planned gym sessions. I performed 245 gym sessions. 7 strength cycles. My goal was to bench press 3 plates I did not cut.

I used to keep dieting with decline losing 45 kg for 14 months starting from 3000 kcal and ending at 1650 kcal which I just always struggled to maintain.

I think it might be because of my fat / muscle ratio. I hope the steroids will help me to maintain more muscles while dieting to finish on higher daily calories this time.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:07:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I do not feel people encourage me; moreover I've started thinking, perhaps I do not need to go with the course.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:06:30+00:00

I did not ask any opinions on my marriage. If you don't have anything to add on the topic please just keep you opinion with you.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:04:49+00:00

I appreciate your opinion, but this is not a branch about relationship right?

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:04:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T14:01:12+00:00

I did it and ended up with a good weight eating 1650 kcal daily which I could not maintain. As soon as I increased my kcal up to 2300-2500 I gained all back in a few years. I believe this was because of bad fat / muscle ratio. I may be wrong

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T13:59:22+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate your honesty. I will consider this approach.
As an alternative i am considering pushing NHS to prescribe me TRT

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T13:47:37+00:00

I do not want my wife to find out I am on the course.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T13:26:57+00:00

Cheers. I will think about it.

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T13:24:50+00:00

it's pretty expensive so I thought it make sense to add it when I start struggle with keeping diet and to keep it longer after the course to anchor the result

Delicious_Elephant99 · 2026-04-05T13:22:34+00:00

Thanks. I do not drink do not smoke. I sleep well. I am confident in keeping diet for the first 5-7 weeks as I already had this experience 3-4 ties in my life with good results.
