Starting Daily Injections

Not sure what I’d think it would do.

I guess I’m just getting desperate as I haven’t had a sex drive since about 20. And I’m 40 now.

So I’ve been doing 24mg per day and seeing good results in my mood and mental sharpness. Like an overall sense of being happy and positive. Also the gym im full of energy and desire to work out. SO, maybe I’m at my sweet spot.

However, still no increase in libido. Morning wood has been great for awhile though. Just doesn’t occur well enough during sex, so Viagra is needed.

Is it possible to feel the benefits of TRT at different levels of test? Example, right now I feel good mentally, etc, but nothing libido-wise. Maybe libido is only found at a completely different level of test/e2?

Or should all the positives, i.e. mental wellbeing, libido, etc. happen all in the same range? Anyone with any insight?

Just relax and keep hitting the gym hard and sleep more then average. Like 9 hours. And trust me and get some Mucuna Pruriens at 15% concentration. This is a dopamine booster and you’ll get your libido back. Start with a gram a day and slowly work your way up to 5 grams. 5 days on, 2 days off.

I guzzle about 6 grams of the stuff daily. Don’t feel nada unfortunately.

It won’t do anything if you have underlying conditions ADD boy.

@hardartery

are you meaning thyroid issues?

For how long 9 days? We need to see how you feel in 40 days when you reach steady state. if you really are feeling better than at any other time in your TRT journey you might want to do a mini blood test to see what your numbers are. TT/FT/E2 So if you lose this feeling at steady state becasue your TT and E2 will be much higher you have a target TT/FT/E2 to try and stablize at.

As for libido and ED I would worry about the mood first and getting your protocol in line for feeling your best. Feeling good putting on some gains at the gym it has a snowball effect to your mood and that might help in the libido area.

Once you know you have that down it might be time to experiment with a 10-12 week blast of say 400mg/wk. In 40 days (steady state) if your libido does not come back you can pretty much stop trying to use TRT to fix that. You have something else wrong.

These are just my suggestion based on what I would do if I had your issues. Anyway glad to read you have had some improvement.

I mean neurotransmitter issues, but sure - thyroid could interfere too

It’s been a bit longer than 9 days, but not much.

So what you’re saying is to try to dial in the mental aspect as best I can and keep it steady… THEN try a blast to see if I can get something libido-wise? If not, TRT isn’t the answer?

I’m hoping with the mood improvements and some nice gains at the gym your libido might just slowly come back. Once you reach that therapeutic level it still takes these old bodies time to heal.
Yes then IMO it would be time to try a simple blast to see if T is what your body is missing for libido.
I think I’ve told you I had libido and ED issues for over 15 years starting in my early 50’s. My ED is still not fixed in over 5 years at this TRT stuff. Cialis livitra and cockring takes care of that part.

I am on day 55 of my Spring Blast @380mg/wk and I have to relief myself every morning in the shower. My wife is only good to go every 5-6 days. I have to be very careful what I look at or think about or my horny switch will flip on and it can almost be painful. Now I don’t blast for that I do it for the gains at the gym and fast recovery.

So basically you have libido only when you blast and have super high TT levels?

But not trt levels?

Not all mucuna is quality. Most are crap. State your brand and I’ll guide you to the best brands.

I think it’s bulk supplements powdered.

What’s a good brand?

You need standardized stuff that’s harvested in a special way. This stuff here is good and cheap on iHerb.

No my libido came back when my doc gave me a protocol that put my TT over 1500 I went from 0 to 100mph over night. It kind of scared me and I stopped injecting for 10 days missing 5 shots. Then cut my dose in half. Now my libido is always there and my TRT dose determines how strong it is.

Always remember everyone is different but for me 80mg/wk keeps my mood strength and libido just about right for a guy my age. It didn’t at first that high dose protocol kicked something in gear and it never really went away. My two blasts a year lets me pack on the muscle which is pretty unheard of for guys in their mid 60’s. I am also able to keep the gains from the blast as well. I started out with 13" biceps and they are now 17 so I’m no gorrilla. One more inch and I think I’ll be happy.

I’ll try anything. Thank you.

I have been saving up my extra T the dr orders me. I have (12) 200mg/ml vials stockpiled. Each vial has 1ml.

So, in addition to the 150mg I am prescribed, I could run a small blast of the already prescribed 150mg plus an additional 200mg totalling 350mg a week for 12 weeks.

How would I add in the additional 200mg since I’m on daily shots? Just switch it all over to one single weekly shot of 350mg?

I’ve never done a “cycle” before.

Just break the whole dose up into daily doses if you want. I plan to blast maybe in a couple months and I plan on taking my normal dose out of rx bottle then adding the extra from my (acquired elsewhere T) i tested it and definitely tested + but I have no idea if its underdosed so at least i will know 100% that I would continue to get my daily dose at a minimum

So it would be 50mg daily. Wonder if I should run that as opposed to 350mg a week once?

Thats what i would do. Just like regular TRT trying to mitigate symptoms of too high estrogen and such possibly help with Hct also
