Thread: TRT, any long time users here? How long have you been on?

Pretty sure I watched a video on Dorian Yates a few years back and he stated that it took him many years to fully recover after he quit the gear completely.
I'd also be interested to see some long-term (10-20 years) users their bloods, perticulary their HDL/LDL levels.

Freak thanks for the great info man!!!!

I have been on trt for a little over 6 years. I ran cycles young, but my test levels recovered even without pct. What did me in was opiates use from back problems. When my levels were tested my total tesl level was 89. This is a little before I turned 28, im 34 now. Bloodwork has only come back odd once, and it was when I tried epistane. I lost my insurance recently, and haven't had bloodwork for about 6 months, but I will soon. My hematocrit is always a little high, but other than that I have zero issues. I just donate blood regularly. If on trt keep a close eye on your hematocrit levels, and do not allow them to get to high.

I see one guy is using 300mg as a trt dose, that is not trt. That is just a light cycle year round. With trt less is more. Trt is a life long treatment, and if you truly need it there is no exit strategy. There may be some rare cases that more than 200mg a week are required, but its probably less than 1-100.

About to go to the Dr's office for my treatment in about an hour. Always love TRT day...get my cyp and then a big brunch afterward...lol.

I'm curious how being on TRT affects libido for you guys. With cycling libido tends to slow down towards the middle or end of test only cycles. What's been your experience?

I have never had libido problems. Even when my test was at its lowest. Nothing seems to affect mine its always strong unless im pissed off.

No libido problems at all... I'm in my mid 40's and have had zero problems in that area since my TRT began over 5 years ago...

What's your TRT dose, and do you run an ai - at what dose?

For me, libido does drop quite a bit toward the end of the first week after treatment. My TRT is administered every two weeks, which is less frequent than I would like. However, when I'm embellishing my TRT with "extras" it's obviously a much better scenario. My prescribed TRT is only 300 mg cyp every two weeks...

I run 200 mg Test C per week which keeps my numbers in the 900's... I do use Adex at .5 e3d as well!
