Hi.
(Long Post needing short replies)
Bummed at my current situation/dilemma. Maybe you can give me some insight or advice.
- 53 y/o in a week
- Work out “recreationally” to look good/better, not dedicated enough or interested in getting huge
1) Got on TRT a few years ago. My otherwise knowledgeable and competent Doc wasn’t sure what he was doing and I think severely over prescribed the test, a Fortesta gel. He started me doing 12 pumps per day (10mg/pump). I grew hair all over my shoulders and got really jacked! It was awesome! The jacked part, hairy shoulder not so much. Lol, but then he realized he goofed and changed me over to injections.
My prescrip was .75 of a 1.00 bottle of depo (?) weekly. I can’t say that I always measured correctly... but would pay more attention about two weeks before blood work. Doc had concerns about red blood cell count (I think), so I don’t know if I was being smart or dumb. Probably dumb. He wouldn’t up my scrip dose.
Anyway, on the depo I went back to feeling “just okay” but my balls slowly shrunk to those of a newborn baby’s, just a flat sack, so I quit one day and haven’t been back on it since. About a year now, I guess.
Now my balls are BACK! Yaayyy
2) My libido is VERY low. Could really care less about sex. Granted, I have been with the same woman since 1985, 33 years. However, even though not as hot as she was, she still looks pretty good (esp for 51).
Got on CIALIS to see if that would help. Daily 5 mg(?) dose. It hasn’t, but I did go from pine to oak... well actually more like from balsa to pine. Maybe I need to up the dose on that!
Anyway, is there a fix? Test plus something for balls? Test plus something for libido? Another approach?
I’d love to get better results from my workouts, and keep my nuts, and improve sex life. I know I’m asking a lot.
I HAVE to do it all legally (job) and through my insurance. Doc is pretty good with them, and is a legit dude that understands guy issues.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for reading and maybe helping.

p.s.
can post labs during and after if anyone is interested
