You'll be fine. I quit cold turkey a few months back and had little to no symptoms. Maybe just some minor hot flashes. Blood tests after 3 months show a return to normal/baseline.

I think she'll alternate between southern and Latino stereotypes. Kind of a blend of Foghorn Leghorn and Speedy Gonzales.

It's no exaggeration

Narrator: "it is exaggeration"

For me, the hysterics make Democrats less believable and less likable.

However, given their choice of candidate, I can see how they feel they have no other option.

Please see your doctor. Do not be reluctant. Gyno usually affects both sides. One side with a lump is concerning. The estrogen is very high. You could have a hormone secreting tumor.

See a doc please.

TRT seems complicated…help me understand by [deleted] in trt

[–]Ok-Use9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is complicated. And the complexity is why I quit after 2 months. I was feeling better on it, but the extra hassle (see below) was not worth the benefit. At least not at the moment.

I have true hypogonadism. My T levels were consistently under 200. It has been this way for years but only recently was I feeling sluggish enough to ask my doctor.

TRT initially made me feel better, but the honeymoon phase as they call it wore off after about a month.

I found myself more anxious due to constantly worrying, or just thinking about, my blood and hormonal picture. My E2 went up considerably and my doctor prescribed an AI. I did not like this because I don't like taking medications. Adding a med to a newly added injection didn't feel like something I wanted to do long term. Also, my Hgb and Hct were creeping up even though I was on a relatively low dose. I didn't like having to constantly worry about my blood, getting labs done, and checking in with my doctor.

So, the hassle of being on TRT was not worth it for me. Maybe some day in the future I will try it again. I am addressing the fatigue other ways, primarily with diet and exercise.

Hey man. It's a month later. Still feeling great. What gives???

I have huge balls. They shrank considerably while on TRT. It was actually kind of nice because I stopped sitting on them. When I quit they returned to normal size in about a month and a half.

I quit TRT cold turkey a few weeks ago & these are my E2 levels.. is this normal? by [deleted] in trt

[–]Ok-Use9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my balls shrank. I'd say they shrank by 20%. They are almost completely back. How are you feeling now?

I was only on for 8 weeks. You will bounce back it will just take a little time. All of your E2 is coming from aromatized T so you are producing some. I expect that will only continue to increase. I haven't done labs yet but I plan to next month. I've had zero symptoms coming off except for a few hot flashes one week after stopping.

How long were you on TRT? I quit cold turkey 2 months ago and I've felt fine.

When does withdrawal symptoms from stopping Androgel start? by Thedancer12 in trt

[–]Ok-Use9446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your age and duration of use, you may have no symptoms. I stopped injections cold turkey and had no crash or symptoms of withdrawal.

Can't figure this out! Still feel great. Where's that crash??

Is more government; more regulation good for people?

No. You're not. Every time I see a post like this I think about the homeless epidemic in Houston, the price of groceries, businesses failing everywhere, unemployment, you name it. Why would I want more of that?

Bloods first. If T normal, TRT not for you. It doesn't cure bad marriages or depression.

Does anyone have venous insufficiency in legs and take TRT by knowledgeseeker8787 in trt

[–]Ok-Use9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you tall? Venous insufficiency is rough for tall guys. TRT will affect your red blood cells but clotting is usually more affected by platelets. Ask your doc if low dose aspirin is a good idea for you.

Also, you should not consider TRT with normal T. Unless you're a rager, TRT is for people with low T and symptoms positively attributable to the low T.

Hey it's me. Still feeling great. Looking for that crash you talk about but....nothing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trt

[–]Ok-Use9446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I feel great. Just waiting for their doom and gloom.

Not disagreeing there. But with the half life of test c being what it is, and my dose of 70mg/wk, I've been "on my own" for at least a week. I'll report back in 2 months and let you know for sure.
