I will tell you that you will know when it’s time . You’ll be tired of low confidence, tired of shyt libido, and just tired in general. I used to need to go to bed super early, always felt a little under the weather, never had real energy, and then I got back on self administered and simply checked labs for what my previous doc had checked. Started with a little prop kickstart and within a week I was a different person. I’ll NEVER get off. My life has been better in more ways than I can put into words. I feel like conquering everything in my path, take great care of my woman, and get things done with very little rest needed.
Plus there’s just no way I was going to recover from cycling getting to be 40. My last real cycle in 2014-15 knocked me down almost 500 points. Took me outta the game quick. If I was going to get back to ped’s at all, I was going to have to cruise for good.
Just my .02, there’s more than enough resources to do it safely self admin, but if you can get a doc to sign off, even better. Sounds like you have a good career so I’d just consider jumping on when you feel you are ready. 100% your Choice I’ll never regret it, even if one day I am forced to go without, at least I’ll have these middle aged years with such an advantage.
