Yes. Its been not just a game changer but a life changer. I have been on it for 3 years and am a poster boy for what it can do. Its not for all guys but I know quite a few of us on it. Doing constant reading on the subject it seems there are many environmental factors of todays world that work against men and their natural t levels. Plus the natural drop off as we get past our 20's. Looking back I started having a significant drop in my early 30's.
Our sex life now is better than it has been. Id say the best its ever been even. Intimacy like that also seems (for us) to have opened the door to talk about other issues that we hadn't before. Plus my overall energy and mood is in a better place. Having done my homework on the issue also made me driven to figure out the female sex drive and I found out things I had ignored and now try to be aware of.
I am more considerate, that for women the menstrual cycle and the hormone fluctuations have a huge effect. I have seen the charts and read comments from women and discussed them with my wife. I know when she is charged up and know when she isn't so much but sex is still a very mental thing so I put extra effort in to those times when she is receptive but not necessarily horney. When she simply isn't into it I back off because I know in a few days she will make it up in spades.
As a man I have had a small example of how hormones effect mood. I know its no where what near girls go thru but in the beginning when I started getting shots my hormone levels were fluctuating. I would feel emotional swings and figured out it was do to the shots. For guys on T therapy we also can get an imbalance in our estrogen level. Like my doctor tells me its not getting the testosterone level up its balancing the whole package. The recent buzz about T therapy and heart issues is a flawed study and its not helped by guys who get a script for lotion and over apply it and their MD does not follow up and monitor all the other blood chemistry. I go for a shot every week and my blood is tested every 90 days. A common drug used to help balance the additional T from metabolizing into estrogen in men and ALL those side effects is a very low dosage of Anastrozole, a drug used for the treatment in women with breast cancer. It suppresses estrogen production. When my estrogen levels were going up I swear I would get somewhat emotional. I would watch a sad movie and ******** near cry. I am far more understanding of what girls go thru. I wouldn't want to fight that battle monthly.
Sorry for the long post but I see guys all around me all day long who could benefit from this but they take the position that its what nature wants. Screw that.
That's why I also realize hormones in women who are not interested in sex could be an issue but they are in denial just like some men.
You girls out there if your SO has symptoms encourage him to be checked but not by a family MD. They hate this stuff because they don't know how to look for the true normal level for each guy and its something of a specialty. My internist put me off for a couple years and I went to another source. Its a national franchise chain in many big cities. Their logo has a big green T in it. I will provide info via pm if someone wants a link.
My internist still isn't thrilled but he acknowledges its worked for me. My only side effect is I now have mildly high blood pressure which is well controlled with meds. In exchange I am not fat, sluggish, grumpy, on diabetes meds and not interested in life and sex. Id say its a fair trade.
My current libido and wellness is why I search for more info how to understand and make my wife happy and satisfied. Its how I stumbled on this website recently. IF she is happy and satisfied then she is going to reciprocate and boy does that feel great.
