I am quite cognizant of the benefits, possible side effects and contraindications of HRT.
I am 66 years old. Before starting HRT my test numbers were in the low 300's. I have been on HRT for almost two years with no side effects. This is possibly because the prescribe dose is low (only 150 mg a week of test cyp), especially as compared to what those who self-dose do. At this point, I only see the doctor every 6 months. The last time I tested in the high range, something like 1000. However, the numbers can vary for many reasons. Mostly, I go by how I feel and I feel great. I have no depression and a strong sense of wellbeing that I was missing before.
As you say, everyone reacts differently. However, if you seek HRT though a reputable doctor, you should achieve positive results. And as that other fellow mentioned, there are some real negative affects from having low test. There are some very valid reasons for getting your test up to par for your health.
