I’ve been reading on another thread about how this forum has gone quiet lately. I usually check the forum regularly, but haven’t posted in a while. So, I thought I’d post an update.
Since my last post, I’ve started TRT (been on it about three months now). I’m using a liquid T solution applied to my underarms every morning. T levels have gone from under 200 to around 900. Doc thinks it may be even a little too high, but is waiting until my next set of lab tests before making any adjustments. I’ve seen some positive results so far. I am experiencing less fatigue, and I’ve seen an increase in libido. The ED seems better too. I am continuing to lose weight, but as a result of diet changes, not the TRT (lost 40 pounds so far, dating back to before I even noticed the start of the gyne).
Since my last post, I was also diagnosed with osteopenia, which is a precursor to osteoporosis, and is apparently the result of years of low T. I’m taking a boron supplement to help with that. Hopefully, it will slow down any further bone loss.
As far as my gyne is concerned, it is still less than five months since I first noticed any breast growth. Initially it was only on my left side. Since starting the TRT, it appears that the growth on the left side has stopped or slowed significantly. But, also since starting TRT, some growth has now begun on the right side. Still, not quite as much is on the left, but it appears to me like it may be still slowly growing. At least my chest looks a little more balanced now.
Not sure what to make of all this . . . maybe the TRT has stopped the gyne or maybe it hasn’t. I guess time will tell. It’s very noticeable (at least to me) without a shirt, but not very noticeable with a shirt on. My wife tells me it’s nothing to worry about. But, she does take more of an interest in my new little boobs in our now-improved sex life. So, life is good, I guess.
