That is a risk with TRT. In my case the testicles did not shrink but

atrophied. I don't know the answer to your last question. BEAR

Because you have not been on the shots for too terrible long time,

it may not be too late to stop the shrinkage. I understand if you

are not primary that you could use a combination of HCG and some T

supplementation, preferably not shots. I hope those more

knowledgable will expand. The HCG if not primary should make your

testicles produce some T on their own and thereby stop atophy, then

if that is not enough T, consider some T gel to supplement as it is

cheap and supposedly better than the shots for controlling estrogen.

Unless you add HCG your nuts will not grow back.

Regardless, you should consider weekly instead of biweekly

injections for the sake of your well being. Also, get your estradiol

level checked.

Hi,

If you didn't already know, you may also be infertile by now.

One testicle was damaged in high school when something happened that

strangled the blood supply to it. So it became as big as my fist and

then in a about 4 months it went to grape size in my late teens.

After 4 kids, at the age of 60, I started TRT. They weren't able to

provide enough for my needs and it is not unlike the need for thyroid.

If they aren't working anymore, do I care if they don't look good for

the public?

As I have been on TRT for more than 10 years, my remaining testicle is

also now about the size of a large grape. I feel great and enjoy the

benefits of TRT. Energy and mental agility are the greatest.
