I've lost a little over 200 pounds since my Gastric bypass surgery & have about 100 pounds to go. Since being on Trelstar for about 2 years now my T level has been holding around 6 ng/dl for pretty much those 2 years. Since surgery my metabolism & energy level has been steadily increasing, in fact my metabolism has went through the roof & now my care team is trying to figure out how to slow down my weight loss as I'm still losing weight waaaaaay too fast. I've noticed my energy level has been slowly decreasing over the last month & it was especially low this past week. Thinking about checking in with my endocrinologist that prescribes my Trelstar about adding some low dose estrogen to help out with balancing things out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

What's your goal? Oh, now I get it, Trelstar is for prostate cancer. You'd better work with your endocrinologist, he/she seems to be very good for you.

No, not for prostate cancer. Only med insurance will pay for & endocrinoligist will prescribe.
Thanks!

Re: Loss Of Energy
Your asking on another site about testicular shrinkage and now estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that will change you into being more feminine, if that's what you want then estrogen is the hormone you want. If you want to bring your testicles back and they start pumping you full with testosterone, that alone should increase your energy.

Everyone, INCLUDING MYSELF, likes the T free me MUCH BETTER, so know, bringing T back is not an option. I also don't want feminization, just more energy.
Thanks!
