TRT symptom tracker XLSX
A daily or weekly symptom log for energy, mood, libido, sleep, focus, recovery, side effects, and clinician questions. Styled XLSX opens in Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets. CSV is still available.
Use short scales plus notes
A simple 1 to 5 score for energy, mood, libido, sleep, and focus can make trends easier to scan. Add short notes when something unusual happens.
Weekly summaries are useful because daily symptoms can swing for reasons unrelated to TRT, including sleep, work stress, diet, illness, and training load.
Connect symptoms to events
Symptoms are easier to interpret when they are connected to lab dates, blood pressure readings, appointment changes, and injection schedule notes.

FAQs
Should I track TRT symptoms every day?
Daily tracking can be helpful early on, but a weekly summary may be easier to maintain. Consistency matters more than volume.
What is the best symptom scale?
A simple 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 scale works if you use it consistently and add notes for unusual days.
Can symptoms alone show whether TRT is working?
No. Symptoms should be reviewed with lab results, safety markers, medical history, and clinician guidance.
