I know this will be contrary to what many of your beliefs but I'm glad I began using steroids. Steroids don't make a different you, they just make you, better. Not a better person in terms of morality or maturity but I can attribute TRT and even heavier to:
Increased confidence
More respect from male competitors
Greater feeling of well-being
Higher financial income
Loftier goals
Unbelievable libido and sexual performance
Improved relationships
Increased bone density and muscular strength
Lower cholesterol and decreased bodyfat
Increase lean body mass
Greater level of physical attractiveness
And it's all still me, just the very best I could have, am, and will be. Is there a physical price to pay? There can be! There is a danger zone and you know when you're crossing into it. But let's face it, HRT is the goods for men to maintain healthy and enjoyable lifestyles MUCH later into life than previously thought possible. Get your bloodwork, eat healthy organic foods, exercise regularly and you'll be fine. I think it's one of the best things I ever discovered and I will never stop. Why would I??? Do you see that list above?
To the OP, yes. Eventually you will permanently decrease your natural testosterone levels. You'll probably always remain in the normal range but not quite what you would have stayed at naturally. You know what else? With TRT, so what?!?
