So I know that we can never really know 100% if someone will be able to have kids or not after being on trt, but I’d love to hear actual experiences of people on both sides of this: - do any of you have taken trt and now regret it because you want kids but aren’t able to? - Do any of you take trt and have been taking it for some time, yet had no problem having kids? I have one kid now, my wife and I want at least one more, the thing is my enclomiphene isn’t really working for me anymore, I am 39 years old, I don’t feel in the gutter but I also don’t feel optimized, and I am in a point in my life where I need to be 100% for me and my family, so I am considering making the switch to trt sooner than later, so just trying to get some opinions and advice from anyone who’s been there. I know hcg can help keep the nuts on, but I also heard it can increase chances of side effects.

I got on reta a month ago mostly for food noise reduction, and it has helped big time. It is no longer a constant battle in my head. I am not overweight, but losing 10 pounds was a nice bonus. I am coming to the end of this vial of reta, and I am considering switching to tirzepetide because I really have no weight to lose, and food noise reduction is my main goal, so I do not need that glucagon element and potential increase in heart rate. I have put my heart through hell enough when I was younger making stupid decisions, so I think tirz makes more sense. My question is what dose should i start tirz at? Here are all my reta doses with time frames: Aug 1, 2026 — 0.5 mg — Dose #1 Aug 7, 2026 — 0.5 mg — Dose #2 Aug 12, 2026 — 1.0 mg — Dose #3 Aug 18, 2026 — 1.0 mg — Dose #4 Aug 23, 2026 — 1.5 mg — Dose #5 Aug 29, 2026 - 1.5 mg - Dose #6 Sept 4, 2026 - 1.5 mg - dose #7 Sept 10, 2026 - 1.5 mg - dose #8 (and last of vial)

I do not have a weight issue nor am I trying to lose weight, though losing a couple bodyfat % would be a bonus. My main goal for taking reta would be to reduce the noise and change my relationship around food. I go through serious binges and I am tired of it, has anyone used it just for that purpose?

I do not suffer from crippling anxiety, but I do have fear around public speaking like most people. I am starting a new position where I will be hosting presentations at dinners in front of 20-70+ people, and while I know that some amount of anxiety will be there until I put the reps in, I'd like to mitigate some of it by giving selank a chance. Have anyone here tried it and what where the results? Should I take it daily or only on the presentation days (1-2 days per week) when I have to be extra grounded? Intranasal or subQ? It seems that all the russian studies on humans were done intranasal so I am leaning towards that but I'd love some feedback.

How do you monitor your progress outside of the mirror? I use a Renphro biometric scale and app. Any other ideas?
