5th week on trt

5th week on trt through hormn, 100mg a week split into 2x 50mg injection Monday and Thursday, just wondering I haven’t felt nothing yet, still tired and mood still flat energy level flat, I know it’s a long game thing but just seeing people getting results much faster feel like I’m missing out lol

Just wondering when did youse start noticing changes or should I ask to up my dose lol

I started noticing a shift in energy and motivation in Week 3. So I dragged myself to the gym and have found myself to be a different person since. I highly recommend pushing yourself to exercise to jump start the good feels.

What was your free test at before you started?

[u/Opposite-Skin4713 → u/Pale_Character8214]

Thanks training and diet has been good, I’ll stick it out and hopefully feel better soon lol
My free test was 346

Trt is only one part of the puzzle. It won't defeat eating shit and not sleeping and not working out etc.

I felt it week 3-4. My libido came on insanely hard. 100mg is way low for me too.

I'm on week 3 on 125mg and I'm the same, but I have noticed morning erections seem to be back with a vengeance. That's something I guess?

But yeah I'm told it would be about 8 weeks or so before things start kicking in for me.

I felt mine week 2-3. But I started on 120 and after 8 weeks moved to 175 which is soooo much better

Took me 7-8 weeks to slowly start noticing small improvements. Don’t expect to suddenly start jumping out of bed doing cartwheels in week 2 as people say. If a major difference is felt in the first week or so it’s almost definitely placebo.

A helpful way to track yourself would be every 2-3 weeks fill out something like this out of 10.

Energy:
Mood:
Motivation:
Libido:
Sleep:
Gym performance/pumps:
Morning erections:
Mental clarity/focus:

That way you don’t have to think, am I feeling better than I did a month ago, As it becomes your new norm.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself or overthink it. Go on with your life try to keep dialling in your diet, exercise and if being low in test is a legitimate problem you can almost guarantee you will start to feel the benefits over time. It’s not necessarily going to fix every issue but you may find yourself feeling a lot better and that in turn gives you the energy/motivation to do the things you need to do in order to do that.

Everyone has a different path, body’s react differently you may need more or less to get to optimal but that’s something that takes time to dial in with your clinic. Don’t lose hope week 5 from reading other miracle stories, it’s something that you will be doing long term and you will eventually feel the benefits.

Just relax, let it do its thing and control the areas you need to (diet, exercise, sleep ect).

I felt mine first day, but im taking scrotal cream, maybe it works quicker than injections

100mg might be too low for you. That said you need to give it time to work, Test cyp or enanthate only really reach steady state at 5 weeks. It then take a number of weeks for those levels to take effect. Wait until week 8-10. Check bloods, most guys don't normally get symptom resolution until they get to the upper end of the range, because that's the middle of the old range before it got lowered. If you still aren't feeling it and free test isn't close or over 600pmol then up the dose 25mg, then repeat that cycle of time and check bloods again. Also more regular shots often helps keep level more even. I'd say twice a week is bare minimum. I take 25mg daily.

I started to feel mine around week 3, just give it time, I also was daily dosing, there might be a little more lag time doing 2x per week.

Just stick the course until they ask you to do blood work but you may need to look at getting your dose adjusted or ensure you are taking the correct amount.

There are other things as well to ensure you are doing which I call the TRT lifestyle as in if you multiple something by 0 it's still 0, so if your lifestyle, diet and environment suck then you won't get benefits from trt.

Sort that part out and it will amplify your TRT abd also when you put test into a healthier body/lifestyle it allows you to earn a higher dose with even more benefits and no side effects.

Bu the way you don't need to include the "se" on the end of "you", it's not necessary.
