Age you started HRT?

[cmanser]

A general question for anyone currently on HRT.

What was your Testosterone when you started HRT?

Trying to make the decision if I should go on HRT or not - as it will be for the rest of my life I want to look at all angles.

Thanks

As in ur pm its more about how you feel vs how u used to feel! Test level is just one measure in a complex hormone balance that our body strives for. Get a full blood panel run and get a copy for yourself don't let your dr control what info he gives you:

I went on self HRT at 39, stopped at 42 because I wanted to be off everything for an insurance physical. I ended up staying off for 2 1/2 years but I will start back next week and probably stay on.

naw your right. But you have to have a testicle removed first to get access to so many diffrent types of replacements. My other testicle dosen't produce enough test.
the missing testicle is key!!!

Id give me left nut for some pharmacy grade gear..
NOT!!!!!

I want to start HRT and HGH, but I'm getting information overload. I found a place that charges an arm and a leg and I think they cater to 50+ who are doing anti aging stuff. I'm 29 and 1/2 and want to go from 245lbs of flab to a lean 195lbs with diet, weight-lifting, and HGH. Can someone point me in the direction that will meet my needs?

Thanks,
Tits

By definition, I have not yet started. HRT means never really comming off. Dail_tone - interesting that you where able go completely off after have been on HRT for 3 years. I submit you are an exception. Many may not be able to do this with out suffering from low test levels when discontinuing HRT. I suspect this to be very age dependent but then I do not see many in thier 20's an 30's actually needing HRT.

Did you ever get hormone levels in those 2 year off?

more than likely because you used the Steroids is why you dont produce it now thats what happend to me I took Oxymethalone Anadrol 15 years ago and did one cycle then i was never the same i suffered from low test for the next 15 years I was so depressed because of it that I realized I need to be on HRT and once you are on it you are on it for LIFe thats why when you used the steroids once your testosterone will never produce naturally again thats the scary thing about Steroids but now Im on HRT 200 mg of Testosterone a day and Im big and strong again i dont mind it go see your local Primary doctor and ask him for a refferal to a Endocronologist however you spell it.
