I’m 32 and considering a short testosterone cycle to gain lean muscle, but I don’t want to be dependent on TRT for life. Has anyone successfully run a cycle, recovered natural testosterone production afterward, and maintained most of their gains? What factors affect recovery and long-term hormone health?

Weirdly enough, coffee started upsetting my stomach after I began taking it.

Respect for sticking it out through the adjustment period.

My bloodwork actually improved after dropping body fat. Triglycerides came down quite a bit.

Fair point, but remember everyone responds differently. My wife had almost no side effects while I dealt with nausea every dose increase.

Same experience here, man. Slow, steady progress with manageable side effects has been way better than trying to rush the dose.
