Thinking of quitting TRT

[JayD]

Hey man. What are your fsh/LH numbers while on TRT with kisspeptin? Would be interesting to see where they sit since kisspeptin is supposed to stimulate their secretion

I haven't had a blood test yet but will get one later this year

So I have been on 100ml of testosterone cypionate once a week for almost a year now.

I had bloodwork just shy of a month ago and all my numbers looked really good. Free testosterone was a little high but everything else was within normal ranges.

I also take a 5mg of Tadalafil daily for ED which seems to work well most of the time.

The issue Im having is I really dont feel any better then before I started TRT. I still suffer from a lot of fatigue. Seems to take forever to overcome doing anything strenuous. Muscle soreness for days.
The other issue is cost. If it isnt going to make me feel any better I dont want to keep paying for it. Especially with all the possible side effects.

Im 56 years old and in fairly decent shape. 5'6" 153lbs. I dont think I should feel this rough all the damn time? I mean I know they say as we get older we hurt more but damn!

I my father is 93 and still alive! If I feel like this all the time I cant imagine how he must feel based on the premise of older = more pain.

What should I do? Anyone have stories of stopping TRT?

Thanks, Dave

Have you had your thyroid tested? TSH, T4, T3 and free T3?

Yes I have see below

T4Free/Free Thyrox range .8-1.5 ng/dl Mine is .9
TSH range .358-3.740 mlU/L Mine is 6.054 (High)

I did not have T3 or free T3 done due not knowing I needed to.

I did kisspeptin for a while, I did daily dosing and my LH didn’t go above <.3 the whole time. I will be shocked if your LH is even measurable. I’m being selfish but can you get your LH checked sooner?

I actually quit TRT about 3 weeks ago. Just on Kisspeptin10 now.

How long were u on trt for? Did u check your LH level?

Almost 2 years. No I never did on TRT. Never liked the fact my natural production was shut down. As I'm only secondary I suspect Kisspeptin10 may work for me

Be curious to see if your LH rises
