After training for 39 years w/ out ever touching a needle (Ive done some PH's) I jumped on TRT at age 50. (Last year). I honestly didnt feel that great on it.
(I did at first, but then the prostate thing acted up (swollen, hard to piss), anxiety kicked in big-time (all anabolics do that to me), hair shedding, the constant tests, monitoring, etc. I said to myself "for life, nah, not for me" (yet). I'll revisit in 9 years or so at age 60. I'm going to go back to do my 30 day cycles (Like Nano 1T w/ a small test dose (short 4 week cycle) then 4 week PCT (Clomid, Nolva, support stuff, hCG), then 4 weeks of health supps only to clean out, and go for my quarterly bloods for statins.
4 weeks of sides I can take, not 100% full time, not fun for me. some dont get any of those sides, I get hit hard by them. (everyone's different).
Ive been reading about short cycles (Nelson Montana, Bill Reynolds) and its just what I want to do for now. Good luck w/ whatever you choose, just wanted to share my recent experience.
