Anonymous Coward User ID: 14956813 United Kingdom 12/05/2022 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You need to put blockers on the testosterone and get some estrogen injections every week. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80542731 You can borrow my heels and a skirt. That's not true for hrt since you are taking very minor doses. Op, do yourself a favor and just buy Test cyp off the internet. You can get a 3 month supply for about 120$ HRT can cause blood clot. It’s a clot shot Honestly where do you get this nonsense from. |

Safer option would be consulting a nutritionist and taking herbs that naturally increase testosterone. Exactly. And hair loss. Complete Q-Ball. That and total ball/testicle shrinkage. And if you stop HRT, you go from being low T to no T. HRT, do it once and your stuck for life. Shrinkage is 100% real and it’s permanent… before natty I was 11inch after natty Im like barely 4 1/2 inch. I stopped it a long time ago it’s not coming back. Plus now It’s not hard as it uses to be after natty it’s also permanent. HAHAHA. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79128431 United States 12/05/2022 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Although there has been some decent general advice, you haven't given nearly enough information. Age? Have you done a full panel blood test to determine your overall health and baseline hormone numbers? Big changes in your body, life last year or 2? Major sickness or disease? What is your current fitness state? How do you eat? I humbly suggest you throw out the extremes on both sides. Both the "Its great" and "you'll get cancer" bunch...and break this down and think seriously. While, I have no explanation as to why hormones are used in a million contexts by just about anyone who's been to a doctor, yet there is only one group of people stigmatized for their use...I can tell you this... If you are serious, you should be able to answer all of these questions, be able to interpret your own lab results, and have a good understanding what to expect. You should be far along in a health/fitness journey to have a documented decline to point to...along with the bloods that correspond If you are out of shape, eat like shit and/or live in fight or flight then exogenous hormones are the LAST thing you should consider. At least before you straighten all the other shit out and narrow down the problem. All that said, HRT works. DO it wisely and enjoy a higher quality of life. Also, the peanut gallery always lumps Steroids, GH, and hormones in one lump, and talks shit about patients like they are using drugs...ever ask the woman your pumping what's in that there birth control pill? |

I had to make do with full-time panic and adrenaline. Not a good choice, but it kept me running. Post-divorce and all my $ stolen, who needs testosterone? My beard still grows, I have all my hair. And I wake with wood, so what more could I ask for? Nothing shall be so certain as to permit confusion. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80247695 Canada 12/05/2022 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Taking these drugs will make you dependent and shrink your nads. I suggest you get some exercise and a girl friend. Quoting: Tonight We Ride! His nads are already shrunk. That's who gets T from doctors, they don't just willy nilly hand the stuff out at request lol. You have to show low levels already, which means his nuts are shrunk. -- To the op, I was on it for 3 months. The gel type. My advice is the gel type, and apply half the pack every day for a few weeks, then stop for a week, then continue. Not only will it last longer but taking too much causes higher levels of estradiol, which any good endocrinologist would prescribe a blocker for, but most don't know what they are doing, at least that's been my experience. I asked about it and was cut off lol. That how retarded some of these doctors are. Im in canada though too, so its like mexican level health care imo. |
