I fell for the TRT meme and after two years recently got off. It’s been about a month now since I tapered all the way off.
I feel pretty much back to normal, sleeping better and workouts are going well, but my libido is fricking shot. I could barely frick my girlfriend for 10 minutes before going soft the other night and I have zero interest in watching porn despite being a porn addict.
How long does this last? Is there hope for me?
>natural test production gets supressed when you take external test or any compound that increases test production
>surprised when you get permanent side-effects associated with supressed test
My T levels are back to their natural levels, when you stop being on TRT your test isn't suppressed anymore you goon. Unless you have permanent testicular atrophy which I don't
I'm not even having sexual dreams. I have basically no sexual urges right now. Help me
Ah yeah. DXM makes me psychologically non-horny despite physiological responses working. Hypothesize different systems are at play (also asexuals are full of shit)
>just quits trt with no hcg or anything
>my test is back to normal
Lol
I used Clomid for pct and it took another 2 months after stopping clomid to be back to normal…. And all I did was a 10 week low dose 300mg test cycle.
> I have zero interest in watching porn despite being a porn addict
shit's too real
let me guess, you didn't run HCG at all.
I did fortunately. Didn’t atrophy too much though my balls are definitely bigger now being off t
gongrats you fricked your self up permanently.
>recently got off
why?
I didn't need it and it was just bleeding my wallet, causing me acne, and in retrospect was fricking up my sleep. They had me on high doses slightly exceeding the normal range. And even with cypionate the hormonal roller coaster was becoming unbearable
Much happier coming off but I need my penis to work.
>I didn't need it
>They
all i need to know thanks
You couldn’t dial your dose in after 2 years?
I did 9 months with a clinic, then asked my regular doctor to take over treatment. For whatever reason, regular doctors are very reluctant to start you on TRT, but perfectly happy to take over treatment from another doctor. I pay $20 a month for my test-c and I use GoodRx.
You should have tried lowering your dose and going to 3 times a week. I do 150mg per week, 3x a week injections using 1/2” 29g insulin needles. It’s completely painless and my levels stay flat. Most doctors are recommending 100mg a week now. 150mg puts me around 1000 total test, and my doctor is happy with me there as long as my hematocrit stays in check.
I just dont see the point in being a TRT addict anymore. Its a sign that someone is a weak dysgenic man. I dont need those drugs in my life
Yeah, completely understand why someone wouldn’t want a drug that makes it easier to recover from workouts, gives you a stronger immune system, supports cardiovascular and metabolic health, and improves sleep quality.
>Yeah bro this drug that makes you feel good as long as you continue taking it is great for you
>dont you love heroin?
If you don’t need TRT these effects are going to be minimal, especially if you “dial in your dose” and don’t even have a significant increase in test.
I was running a GnRH analogue and doing 3 T shots a week so that’s 6 injections a week. Shit starts to get annoying after two years having to pop a pill or take a shot every day, and any meaningful dose of T gave me acne and fricked my sleep
If you‘re hypogonadal TRT is great. Otherwise you’re just coping with gender dysphoria and lying to yourself about the benefits.
I absolutely guarantee after 5 years being attached to your vial and needle by the hip is going to annoy you, especially when traveling. It’s an unfortunate necessity for some but if it ain’t for you the resentment will build. I was happy af every injection up until about a year and a half in. The fun fades and the reality that you have to pause life to jab a needle into yourself once or twice a day (if taking HCG) will start to annoy you
kek, enjoy your permanent limp dick OP. I'll frick your girlfriend for you when she goes hunting to get satisfied properly.
>Hop on trt on a whim
>Has never even heard of PCT
>muh dick won't work wah
You reap what you sow. It's such a deeply moronic post that I'm wondering if it's not just another weak israeli bait. I'm on to you, big noses.
Bait? You don’t need to PCT if you taper with a GnRH analogue you dork. This isn’t like suddenly stopping 500mg a week, I tapered down to 60mg a week over the course of two months (from 160mg / week) and my estrogen after this taper was very low even without using AIs
get your prolactin checked you goober
Not a bad idea. I did take tren a couple months ago for like 10-12 weeks, my TRT clinic didn’t test prolactin unfortunately. Will get that checked out if this persists
>was on “trt”
>took tren for 3 months
My man your story doesn’t add up
TRT makes it easy to run cycles lad
You’re also not suppose to inject 500mg of testosterone for 16 weeks but people do it anyway
My gf (your mother) is beautiful, you shut your god damn mouth before I kiss it shut for you
What is the point of taking low doses of test if you’re going to run compounds like tren? You’re afraid of the negative effects of test but not tren ?
I got on TRT initially because I was an overworked weed smoking porn addict hermit that felt like shit and my T levels were on the lower side of normal. My doc wouldn’t prescribe it so went to a clinic.
Once you’re on exogenous T at all running other compounds immediately becomes way more appealing. Or just increasing your T dose a week and running a cycle. It’s the new gateway drug to steroids because your nuts are already disrupted, you have a T base for whatever you wanna run, etc
Wanna come off steroids? Just go back to your TRT dose and you’re done. No pct
Now you just await your dysphoria.
Trt is forever, and you didn't follow a pct. You fricked up your dick permanently. Just be a troony at this point
It takes 1 to 2 years to fully recover testosterone.
2 years was way too long to be on T bro, you’re fricked.
You're not supposed to hop on and off TRT. Why did you start if you weren't committed to taking it for life? You're a fricking idiot.
Had natural-low T sitting around ~230 ng/dl around May '23, and did only HCG injections now sitting up around ~550 ng/dl. Balls feel normal, still producing their own thing. Just estrogen spiked like a motherfricker getting there. Gonna take a blocker and see if things level out.
Anybody with experience taking only HCG? From all I read the results won't be as extreme, but not really a huge of a commit either.
It'll come back anon, Your body is just adjusting to not being superhuman anymore.
Try some Damiana and Maca to help you along.
It's because your gf is not good looking bro. You need to break up with her
