First i'm 43 years old, will be 44 in a couple days. A little overweight at 220lbs, but not too bad. Had all my blood work done and my t levels came back at 434 and 64 free testosterone. I have all the symptoms of low t. No energy, no motivation, depression, anxiety, ed, no sex drive, etc. My doctor, of course, said my levels were in the normal range so wouldn't prescribe anything. I'm not a bodybuilder or trying to be one, but I do go to the gym on a regular basis, my strength gains have been minimal. Even going 3-4 times a week, after a couple months I still can't even bench a single plate (135lbs), my pr is 115, which in itself is really sad lol. That was before starting trt, shoulder injury has kept me from the gym recently. So I came here, found a reputable source and ordered some Test-C. Been pinning for a couple weeks now, 125mg twice a week.

So what has changed after 2 weeks of doing this? My leg is a bit sore most of the time and my blood pressure has gone up some. That's about it. No noticeable change to my mental health. No improved sex drive, no change in depression/anxiety. Hard to tell about my energy levels as I work some strange hours, usually 12 hour graveyard shifts, so my sleep schedule gets screwed up a lot.

So i'm confident that the test is legit, comes from a good source here with great reviews. I'm sure 250mg per week is a good amount for trt, more than most doctors would prescribe.

So my questions.. Why isn't it helping? The only things I can think of are.. Maybe my estrogen has spiked too much with the test and it's kinda canceling out the positive benefits, if that's something that can even happen. I have noticed my nipples have felt irritated/itchy in the past week. I have arimidex, but haven't been taking any yet. Another possibility is that I haven't given it enough time to raise my test levels. However I've read people saying they feel great within a couple days of their first dose.

Maybe my testosterone levels were fine to begin with and stabbing myself twice a week isn't going to help. I ordered hcg, but it's not arrived yet. I don't know if adding that will make a difference, or if I should just use it as pct and stop the test since I'm not gaining any noticeable benefit from it anyway. And if I do quit pinning the test, should I be taking anything else for pct, or have I not been on it long enough to matter?
