Here’s the story behind why I built TRT Monitor—and why it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Testosterone therapy use is growing rapidly. One analysis found a 27% increase in men receiving TRT in 2022 compared to 2018 (PubMed). With more men beginning treatment, the need to track labs, symptoms, and protocols effectively is more important than ever.
Like many men who begin testosterone therapy, my journey started with confusion. I was juggling spreadsheets, cryptic calendar reminders, and scattered lab results. Managing my TRT protocol quickly became cumbersome, making it difficult to track what truly mattered: how I felt, what was effective, and when to make adjustments.
I searched for a dedicated TRT tracking app, but nothing felt right. Most tools were either overly clinical, not tailored for testosterone therapy, or simply too rigid. That’s where the idea for TRT Monitor came from. I built the tool I wanted—and needed—to use.
Built for Men Who Want Clarity
TRT Monitor is designed specifically for men who want an active role in their health journey, whether you are:
- The Self-Manager: Handling your own protocol and needing reliable tracking for details like injection sites and dose timings.
- The Data-Driven Patient: Wanting clear trends from bloodwork and symptoms to have informed, productive conversations with your healthcare provider.
- The Newcomer: Starting TRT and aiming to build good habits from day one to understand exactly how your body responds.
Considering TRT? This App Helps You Decide, Too.
TRT Monitor isn't only for men already on TRT; it’s also for those exploring testosterone therapy. Medical guidelines recommend tracking symptoms and baseline tests before initiating TRT to ensure informed decisions (Mayo Clinic).
If you're exploring TRT, use the app to:
- Track symptoms like mood, energy, libido, and sleep over time.
- Record baseline blood tests, including total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, and estradiol.
- Identify trends clearly before initiating therapy.
This structured approach helps answer two critical questions:
- Is TRT medically necessary? (Cleveland Clinic)
- Do I want to pursue this treatment?
Tired of Scattered Blood Results? See Them All in One Place.
One major frustration was managing scattered blood test results from various clinics. Reports had different formats, reference ranges, and were difficult to compare. TRT Monitor resolves this by providing a single location for all your data, enabling you to easily visualize trends, reference ranges, and historical values in a clear, unified interface.
Go Beyond Spreadsheets: Track Your Daily Protocol with Ease
When self-administering TRT, minor details significantly impact your outcomes. Remembering injection locations or your symptoms from weeks ago shouldn't rely on memory alone. TRT Monitor simplifies tracking:
- Medication Doses & Injection History: Precisely log your dose, frequency, and exact injection site (MyFitMed).
- Daily Symptoms & Wellbeing: Quickly record energy, libido, mood, sleep, and other vital metrics.
- Insightful Correlations: Understand how injection timing affects mood and how dosage adjustments impact energy levels.
It’s not just about collecting data; it's about confidently answering, “Is my current TRT protocol working effectively for me?”

Have More Productive Conversations with Your Doctor
While TRT Monitor doesn't replace medical advice, it greatly enhances your discussions with healthcare providers. Instead of complicated spreadsheets or vague recollections, share concise, clear reports. Medical guidelines highlight the importance of organized data for adjusting therapy and improving outcomes (American Family Physician).
What's on the Roadmap
Today's app is just the beginning. Based on user feedback, upcoming features include:
- Automated PDF/Text Report Parsing: Upload lab results, and TRT Monitor will auto-populate your markers.
- Full Data Export: Export your data easily and privately—your records always remain yours.
Built by a TRT Patient, for TRT Patients
I developed TRT Monitor to be fast, private, and distraction-free—no fluff or spam. As a developer and TRT patient, rather than a large corporation, I swiftly adapt and improve based on real user feedback.
Stop Guessing. Start Tracking.
TRT Monitor is the tool I wish I'd had when starting TRT. It provides clarity and confidence in managing your health effectively.
