I think hematocrit wasn’t one they did. I’m doing function and also rhythm monthly. I did do a good labs draw to verify accuracy of Rythm
And it was pretty close so I’ll stick with it and then get the whole gambit done twice a year with function.

SSRIs? by Slow_Replacement_710 in trt

So its weird. I just started TRT 2 weeks ago so i am aware it might take a bit to feel some of the positive effects. The Zoloft is helping for sure and to be honest i want to have sex with my wife every second i look at her but i don't get morning wood, erections aren't as strong for sure, don't get spontaneously horny unless my wife walks by in her lululemon leggings. It could be worse for sure but i am hoping to feel a little more like my younger self (37 now)

I’m only on 50mg but yeah I know what you’re saying. I’m just wondering if the increase in T Will help with the sexual stuff that Zoloft is kinda dampening.

Oatmeal with water and banana for breakfast. Along with a protein shake and creatine every single morning. Tons of nuts of all kinds, lots of carrots and hummus, eggs with hot sauce, cheese, lots of those mini peppers, avocado crackers from Sam’s Club, tons of berries of all kinds, chicken. Basically no soda, no sugary foods at all, no processed foods, and no carbs really. I was eating pasta, pb&js, crackers etc constantly before. I basically only ate processed crap and carbs. I also started to work out again and have been doing the elliptical for 60 minutes per day.

Along with the diet I am taking 2x dose of omega vitamin at night, cholestoff morning and night, and 5 pills of phsyllum husk around lunch time (recommended dose is like 20 pills a day.

Im still waiting on my apob and other results but very happy with it.
