Thanks a lot. That’s what I thought, it was too good to be true. The question still remains: should I give it a try? I don’t know. My testosterone is okay, and my progesterone is a little low, but overall my levels are fine. I still have to make up my mind about it.
Think deeply on this one before you jump in head first!
Sure there is a good chance that during the short-term honeymoon phase that you will experience a strong increase in libido/erections which is common as you are driving up T levels/increasing dopamine but it will most likely be short-lived and temporary.
Once the body adjusts you may very well end up with improvements in libido/erectile function but it is not a given especially seeing as you have healthy T levels (TT 600s and normal SHBG) let alone a functional HPG axis.
Only time would tell and again much more involved when it comes to libido/ED than just having healthy T levels.
Shut down of the HPG axis most likely has a big impact.
There is so much more involved when it comes to libido/erectile function.
Having healthy testosterone levels is one piece of the puzzle.
Even then when it comes to trt and libido many tend to get caught up in thinking that it will be through the roof once they hop on trt and get to the point of so-called dialed in let alone cure any ED issues they may have.
When you find that happy place you should have a healthy libido not raging, savage, insane.
There are many men who will see an improvement in libido, others will continue to struggle, some may even end up worse off than before trt and some of the lucky ones will see a drastic improvement.
I think too many get caught up in expecting to feel great 24/7 once on trt as if testosterone is going to cure all that ails them.
Seems as though you have already made up your mind:
So I finally talked with the anti-aging doctor, and she gave me a prescription. It’s a cream that I will have to apply to my arms. I’ll have to take it 6 days a week (she wants me to have one break from the treatment every week). Here’s what’s in it:
Testosterone 80mg
Progesterone 15mg
She said, though, that she doesn’t think my ED is caused by a problem with my hormones since my levels are not bad. She still thinks that it’s worth giving it a shot and that I’ll probably have other benefits from the treatment. She also prescribed vitamin D.
