So my levels are in the 290s. They basically gave me two option, going on standard trt or try sermorelin.

I'm 33 and want to have kids in the next two years or smt, so keeping my fertility working is a massive deal for me rn. I want to be on the peptides a bit more so i dont shut any natural production down.

But i also want to actually put on size and feel normal again. I know trt works way faster and peptides take forever to actually do anything noticeable.

Does anyone run both? trying to figure out the best move here without ruining my chances of having kids.

I want a really good machine but I don't want to overpay?

I am taking 2mg of Semax a day and the results are amazing for my ADHD. My focus and mental clarity are great, the brain fog is gone, and I am getting a ton of work done right now. I am 6'0 and 230 pounds, and I am still trying out different doses. I am taking it subq instead of using the nasal spray. What have your experiences with this been like?

Before I got my bloodwork done and fixed my levels, I was just tired and angry all the time. I would snap at my friends for no reason and I had zero patience for anything. I just wanted to sit around the house and avoid people. After a few months on a proper dose, everything changed completely. I am way more social now and I actually want to go out and do things. Small annoyances do not bother me anymore. I have a lot more confidence when I talk to people. It is crazy how much your hormones dictate your actual mood and how you treat everyone around you.

I am a 56 year old female and I asked my primary doctor today to order full labs so I could check my hormone levels and see if TRT is an option for me. She completely refused. She told me there is zero evidence that testosterone is beneficial for post menopausal women. I feel like such an idiot right now. I am just frustrated, sad, and completely gobsmacked by the whole interaction.

I only asked her for these specific tests (CBC, CMP, lipid panel, total testosterone, estradiol, TSH, and progesterone) because it is exactly what Talon requires and I was trying to avoid the out of pocket costs. I have been taking estrogen and progesterone since 2022, but I have not had my actual levels checked since 2021 even though I just hit menopause. I guess it is fine. I will probably just go through Ulta and pay out of pocket to get it done.
