So, I just got my HCG and needles today. still waiting on the testosterone and anatrozole, but with all the weather emergencies down south, that's understandable.
I have never been on TRT before, and haven't used anything hormonal for prolly 6 years.
a couple years back, I had a significant injury that kept me out of the gym for about a year, and I ate like crap and drank too much then. gained a ton of fat, and got my T tested, and saw I was lowish. not quite low enough for insurance to cover or a regular doc to treat, but literally only 10-15 points away. there are no TRT clinics near me, and the nearest one charges idiotic prices ($350 for the initial consult, which doesn't even cover medications, all out of pocket, and it's an hour away).
Anyway, so over the course of the past few years, I've used research clomid on several different occasions in order to raise my testosterone.... it did work while on clomid (usually doubled it, from around 250-300 to 600-700), it did not stay up at all while I went off. and to be honest, I really didn't feel much better.... maybe a little bit (general mood and energy), but not like I'd hoped. I've lost a few pounds, but it's been a nightmare trying to get my weight under control.
So, I saw kenpoengineer 's post a while back, and took the plunge as well, so to speak.
Since I don't have some of my supplies yet, I'm going to try to get the full pre-TRT labs done through Discounted Labs in the next couple days for a better baseline, since the post-PCT labs I got don't have some of the things I want to track .
This will kinda be a general log for both EM and my experience with TRT....
