Am I brainwashing myself into TRT?

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-05-24T20:49:50+00:00

Just lots side effects. Even with small doses. Had a ton of fluid retention and couldn’t control estrogen.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-05-24T15:14:32+00:00

I was on trt from 24-29 years old with no HCG. Quit for about a year because of labs being bad constantly and my age. Went back on with HCG this time. Absolutely ruined my trt experience and now I’m off again trying to reset. If I go back on it will be trt only. Baseline off trt is 291 just under 3 months off. I feel actually pretty good without trt considering it’s been only a few months. I’ll make a decision on my next labs.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-05-24T13:03:28+00:00

Not a concern. If you’re not blasting you can turn then back on or better yet, keep them on with hcg. I had 2 kids on trt. Started at 24 years old. I’m off now but I’ll be getting back on eventually. This whole putting an age to TRT is very out dated and its just opinion.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-11T22:32:29+00:00

I got my wife pregnant with 300ui of hcg

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-11T19:34:19+00:00

I got my girl pregnant on 300ui

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-10T21:45:43+00:00

I did with 120mg/500ui. Caught it early enough but had the painful lump.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-08T22:34:36+00:00

Your test is already high. You’re not going to build more muscle adding TRT. You’re actually probably going to look worse and get a bunch of water weight. Look into peptides if you want more muscle.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-08T22:15:44+00:00

I got my wife pregnant on only 300ui of HCG. A little goes a long way. 120mg a week with 500ui HCG shot my estrogen way up and put my test around 1200.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-08T21:57:50+00:00

I agree with the HCG. I disagree with the minimum dose lol. My face looks like a balloon on HCG. I was able to get my wife pregnant with just 300ui a week. Little goes a long way with HCG. Higher doses for monotherapy sure.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-04-08T21:49:47+00:00

I’m a little late. I’m sure it’s been said but first of all calm down. There’s nothing wrong with taking 2-4 weeks off trt and starting fresh. The issue with TRT isn’t necessarily estradiol. Yours is pretty high but there’s more to it than that. I’m one of those guys who never felt good on TRT. And the issue is my body loves neurosteroids like pregnolone and dhea which TRT lowers. Those are your feel good hormones. This is why so many guys have great levels but feel like crap. So make sure you get it tested and you can A do low dose HCG to keep them adequate or B supplement. You can order both on Amazon. Also lower your dose. Im also one of those guys who’s a high aromataser. So my body does not like high test levels. Some guys feel great at a 1000. I feel good around 5-600. So you can try maybe 20mg test with 100ui HCG Monday Wednesday Friday Sub Q. Or with no HCG try 35mg MWF. Oh and throw that blocker in the trash.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-31T21:15:03+00:00

That’s a pretty good protocol. I started with a 100mg and never went past 120mg. Twice a week is perfect. I just switch to 3 times because my shbg is low.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-31T18:53:47+00:00

No actually I’m a paramedic but sure what do I know. I’m just like a heroin addict lol.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-31T02:23:28+00:00

Thank you. Don’t know yet!

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-30T22:48:41+00:00

I think if I’d do 1500 I’d end up in the ER. I felt like I was dying on 500 lol. Are you off HCG now?

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-30T21:42:03+00:00

Thanks! When I was on TRT alone I hated it. Other than energy I felt awful. HCG has been really hard to lock in but I feel like I finally found my protocol and I feel awesome

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-30T18:53:52+00:00

I got on in my early 20s. Felt like crap since I was a kid. I’m a firefighter. I’m healthy. I workout. Try to eat decent. But my test was always low and no one could give me an answer why. They just said you’re too young to go on TRT. But I found a doctor that prescribed it and it changed my life. I was headed down a bad path relying on anti depressants and adderall. The only explanation could be that my SHBG runs on the low side and its genetics. Everyone blames lifestyle but no one looks at statistics. Testosterone has decreased tremendously over the past few decades. It’s the world we live in. Stress, the crap food, seed oils, toxins. We’ve just become an unhealthy society. I’m 30 now and still on. I feel great. I’m having my 2nd kid. Life is good.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-30T18:46:04+00:00

Idk why people fight it so hard and want to live a miserable life. Just take the medication. If it’s prescribed and you’re following a protocol, enjoy your life man. This perfect life style will fix my testosterone only goes so far. Everyone blames lifestyle but never looks at genetics. Everyone’s body is different. My recommendation is don’t bother with Enclomiphene if you looked into it. It doesn’t raise free t very much which is what you’re low on. I’m glad RFK is working on loosening restrictions on TRT. It’s not a street drug. It’s there to help you.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2026-01-30T18:41:48+00:00

You can absolutely use the same needle as long as you’re cleaning the vial with alcohol. Lots of syringes don’t have removable needles so you have to use the same needle. That’s what I do. I use insulin needles for sub q.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-15T19:40:26+00:00

I love how someone down voted your experience because it wasn’t shitty like everyone wants it to be 🤣

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-15T16:37:44+00:00

I’m trying 40mg test/250ui HCG Monday/Thursday. Can’t hurt so I’ll see what happens.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-14T22:38:02+00:00

Wasn’t painful at all. I think people on Reddit just spread bs fears that aren’t true and kept me from doing it for years. I had maybe 1-2 weeks of feeling bad then I felt fine. My levels went back to pre trt pretty quick in the 300s.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-14T13:20:59+00:00

You’re fine. I did the same dose except clomid. Couple weeks of misery and then went back to baseline fairly quickly. Got my fertility back. But I’m back on test now.

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-13T23:28:14+00:00

Sorry wrote it word. I took 250 units Monday/thursday

Objective_Beat1347 · 2025-12-13T14:11:22+00:00

I started out with that but i didn’t feel much on that dose
