stopping trt

Hi all, I have posted here before about my cold turkey journey after ~8 years of exogenous hormone use. I did my first set of blodwork after about 6 weeks of stopping. Just did another set of bloodwork after almost 5 months (143 days) and thought I would update. Unfortunately it looks like my...

I'll try to keep this short. A little over a year ago my GP put me TRT at 300mg/wk. This was after an initial blood test and a second to confirm the first. I was left on that dosage for a year until this past November when I had a yearly physical and my labs revealed my testosterone level was...

Hey guys... I've been on TRT for 10 weeks. I'm incredibly sensitive.... I'm down to 10mg EOD to combat my issues with high blood pressure (190/105), high pulse, chest pains and anxiety. I had to give blood at the 8 weeks. I still have issues that make me VERY uncomfortable on the days of my...

Hi Gents, I've been on a self-directed protocol for the last 5 years injecting 15 mg of testosterone cypionate + 85 iu's of HCG daily. I do my own bloodwork every 6 months and this keeps me at ideal levels. My family doctor has agreed to allow me to continue with this protocol under his...

Hi friends, 43 yo male and just took my twelfth test cyp injection last Friday (160 mg once weekly). Also on dessicated thyroid, DHEA, and 75mg Effexor. Got on the TRT regimen to help me lose weight (T levels were in the acceptable range) and increase libido. So I’m three months in and I feel...

After 6 years of self diagnosed TRT, I'm in the final stages of coming off. I just finished 10 weeks of clomiphene citrate and am wondering what to expect now that PCT is over. Here is PCT bloods (Quest diagnostics) around 6 weeks into PCT: Will testosterone sharply decline below baseline now...

Just wondering if there would be any benefit (or harm) with a once weekly 25mg dose of Clomid? I've been off test (80mg test-cyp weekly) for over 3 months now. I'm feeling better (although my desire for sex is quite low)...After stopping the test, I initially started CLomid 12.5mg daily then eod...

Does natural production come back when stopping TRT? I’m 49 and have been on TRT for 3.5 years because I had severe depression and my Test levels were 150 tested 2 different times. I also had untreated sleep apnea at the time and was drinking a lot. I didn’t take any supplements at the time...

Ok, guys I am coming to the end of the journey of TRT... I have been on since 2010 and I never ever felt optimal, always feeling "meh", libido "meh", sleep horrible, up and down E2/DHT and now thinning hair (yay!)... I'm a low SHBG guy and I have been on Test Cyp and Prop variation of dosing...

So...some of you may remember some of my posts. I had struggled with TRT. Never getting dialed in. So about a year or so ago I stopped TRT. Many aspects of being off TRT for me are positive. Better sexual function...yes...TRT gives me sexual issues. Mostly large drop in cum volume and force...

Saw a bunch of "cold turkey" threads on here regarding ceasing injections, but since cream has a faster mechanism of action would it be smart to just reduce the # of clicks over time or also stop cold turkey? Maybe keep using AI to help the reset process? I have been on 3 clicks cream daily (2...

I have been doing TRT for about 4 years. I started using it because the VA said my total test was around 400 and my free test was 6. I was down to 145lbs and was told I looked like I had cancer and I had no sex drive or energy. I was working out 6 days a week and eating a healthy diet. The VA...

I've been on a fairly standard Defy protocol that hasn't changed much in 2.5 years. M-W-F injections 50 cypionate, 300 HCG, 50 mg DHEA, .25 Arimidex (not now). As I've lost weight, my levels have all shot up. 01-2017 242 lbs 283 Total Start TRT 08-2017 (240 lbs) Total - 646 Free - 22.22...

I think I’m ready to stop taking TRT and curious if anyone on this forum has had success after long term (3 years)use?

So after about a year of TRT I decided to stop TRT. The negative effects outweigh the positives for me. I never felt great or even really good on TRT. And the final straw for me was I started having heart palpitations in the evening. They were very strong and really worried me. Here is the...
