Is HRT worth it?

[need4speed]

HRT seems like a big pain and it seems most people are constantly changing there protocol and increasing there meds.

[JohninAZ]

Absolutely worth it.

[ambulldog]

[MidwestBeast]

[nerdalert]

I think it is absolutely worth it, if it makes you feel better then I say go for it.

[bad375]

This is kind of off topic. I am in kentucky and looking for HRT here.
How do I find a clinic and about how much is it?

you sound like a kid- just saying

[schwellington]

trt is usually expensive- like- really expensive

[chaz92398]

Very expensive. $6 a week per 100mg test cyp. I was on the corner today begging for change.

I have been wondering this same question. I hear al the positive experiences while ON but I also see men trying to PEEL themselves OFF once they get tired of pinning themselves for the rest of their lives. They a real bad situation on their hands. What happens to your nuts once they have been out of use for 5 years?
Are they done for good? Are you worse off once you come off? Ie: total erectile dysfunction?
Do you have to PIN till the day you die!?

I'm never coming off TRT. My only regret is that I didn't organize it many years ago. The pinning is no big deal, heck it takes just as long to rub on my bio-identical progesterone cream (I use it to control my Estro) as it does to draw and inject my Test Cyp. I already had ED from aging and from my depression over losing my wife to a long bout with COPD and Cancer. TRT is a lifesaver figuratively and literally. (Remember Lucky, the higher your TRT, the lower your chances of contracting Prostate Cancer!)

Over 40 here and started HRT. Ins doesnt cover the test. but covers bloodwork which isnt cheap.
Heck yeah you do it the rest of your life, not a big deal. If you want to feel good have energy and good presence of mind by all means do it.
It will improve your quality of life and sense of well being.

If you dont have ins pony up roughly $350 go to your local urgent care and ask for a blood test for your test levels AND estrogen.
Go from there.

This is my main concern too. I dont mind pinning but having to use ai's and hcg too worries me.

Are there any long term side effects if you HAVE TO STOP pinning. Surely you're not going to pin test till the day you die.

I'm not aware of anything besides the return to prior test levels, which were horrible for me. And Yes, I intend to continue for the rest of my life. Having good test levels is important to good health. It is a key weapon in the fight against prostate cancer which afflicts half of us when we hit our 50s and later. A couple minutes once a week is a no brainer IMO.

I should add, that I believe in and plan on continuing to lift as best I can as long as I can. So far at 70 it is still a ton of fun and the results have been nothing short of sensational for my health, strength and fitness.
