Testosterone replacement and rule zero

I will give you a pass here because you said your T was at 329. (Your brain ain't going to work for shit) Mine was at 223 when I unplugged from the matrix, and went rambo. I got it all the way up to 300 with diet, lifting HEAVY, and sleep. Still fell asleep at work with 8 hrs of sleep. Now I'm at 700 ish, and life is BETTER. She knows I take T, I went to the same hormone doc she's going to. It isn't a big deal, right now you're thinking like a women (because your closer to one hormonally) and your hamster is on speed. She won't care you're on T when you have a ROCK HARD erection and poking her with it.

Whats with the need guys have to DEER why a new account posts in the newbie forum, especially with basic as fuck questions?

Own it. take it or not, she can leave, or not. Don't tell, but don't evade either.

How old are you? How much sleep do you get on average a night? Are you eating or taking products with a lot of soy in them?(some protein powders/bars/etc. can be made from soy) Do you drink a lot of alcohol or smoke?

All of these things can have an effect on ability to maintain erections as we get older. I'm no doctor, and that's who you should discuss all of this with some more. I have heard before that it can be beneficial to have a second testosterone test done, as levels can vary depending on many different factors.

A good doctor will treat the symptoms not the number. 329 is technically within the normal range but if you are showing the symptoms of low T - and you are - then you should seek a doc who will prescribe TRT. You want a specialist not a family practitioner because the latter are usually dismissive of low T as a problem ("eh, you're old, deal with it") and won't prescribe TRT.

There are some women who will regard TRT negatively because it is somehow "fake" or "artificial" - "you are not really attracted to me, it's just those drugs you're on." In these cases, most likely the real problem is she is not attracted to you. Other women will regard TRT as a good thing, especially if they are frustrated by your lack of libido. The local internet forum around here sometimes even has women plaintively asking, "how do I get my low-drive husband to go on TRT?" Obviously, these are the women who are still attracted to their men. But in these cases, you still have to watch out for the rage volcano alluded to in Athol Kay's MAP book. He specifically cites TRT: "If all it took to undo years of a husband ignoring his wife's sexual advances was a trip to the doctor and a testosterone shot, to see him suddenly happy and horny, like nothing was ever wrong, turns the wife livid. All those years he denied her and he could have gone to the doctor the whole time... BOOM! Rage volcano."

The good news is that if you want to keep TRT a secret, it is very easy to do so. It only takes five minutes a week to do the injections, and you'll want to store the needles and medication somewhere secure anyway (especially if you have kids). You can even do it at work.

I have actually been open about it. Got my girl a sexy nurse outfit to give me the shot. A woman would never be embarrassed to use makeup to look and feel better. Why should a man be embarrassed about testosterone?

If you don't make a big deal out of it she wont either. It takes a good bit of time on it to really notice anything and nothing is going to change radically.

Just play it off as something your doctor wants you to try and its totally normal. By hiding it your only going to cause yourself more problems.

I've been on TRT for ~18 months (original labs came in around 150) and it's not always the panacea that men think it will be. We all react to it differently and you need to find a good doctor. There's a lot to consider when starting T and a lot of docs just don't give a shit about it. Men's hormone health is about 20 years behind women's.

I do my own shots at home and my wife knows about it but she's the only one. High T levels offer a TON of other benefits for men other than libido or erection quality.

Head over to https://www.reddit.com/r/Testosterone for more help. A lot of good people there willing to help.

Be sure to get a panel for common blood clotting disorders like Leiden Factor V.

Joint insurance does not mean she can see what you do at the Dr.s (depending on where you live). I can not see anything about the wife's trips to Drs, or perscriptions, or anything. It's a separate account under my plan.

You need to read up so you can figure out if you doctor knows his shit or not. The first thing your need to determine is if you are primary or secondary hypogonadism. Don't know what that means? Read the stickies at T-nation like the other poster recommended.

CaptainJackSorrow · 2017-07-10T07:09:36+00:00

Go on TRT. In a few months you'll stop asking permission.
