Hi All,
It is Monday, 8/8/2021 and that makes a full week completely off my TRT.
Had quite a good night last night, after restarting my 4 loops/per night. I believe I will follow Shannon's instructions re only taking 2 nights off. Feeling better than yesterday already, but feeling like I'm anxious for it to ramp back up. I got that "low hormone" blues feeling, but it is already starting to dissipate, at least I hope it is.
My sleep last night was quite good in spite of it being a relatively short night. My bp this am was down and my resting heart rate was better than my pre-covid RHR. This is a first in nearly 2 years. Likely due to the sub kicking in again. We'll see if it sticks.
Had a good workout-not great but good. Was able to bump my weight training up a notch, so was able to push it a little. I'm getting a lot closer to my pre-covid strength (pre- March 2021).
Am observing some of the expected negative effects from being off my TRT (most irritating is the testicular shrinkage, my theory is my pituitary isn't making enough LH/FSH or whatever to stimulate them) hopefully going back on the sub will kick it up a notch.
The good news is I'm not off the beam at this point. That is, I am not feeling sorry for myself or blaming or complaining, or at least these feelings are manageable / fringe feelings.
Let's see how this thing works on Cycle #2!
Cheers!
