After all the talk about scrotal cream, I just had to try it for myself. I had used cream before, but not exclusively on the scrotum and only once per day.
This time around, I tried 100mg AM and 50mg PM, applied all to scrotum. I took one set of labs before my morning application, about 12 hours after my 50mg evening application, and got:
TT: 893 (264-916) FT: 29.7 (6.8-21.5)
I then applied my morning 100mg of cream, and went back to the lab about 5 hours later for a peak reading:
TT: 896 (264-916) FT: 29.5 (6.8-21.5)
So...basically no difference between peak/trough, which surprised me. Of course lab error is always a possibility. My SHBG on cream seems to hover around 27.
E2 is the only other lab I tested due to costs, and it came in at 37 (8-35).
Note that I'm not claiming that this "stability" is a good or a bad thing, it was just....interesting. Especially since we often hear guys say things like using cream creates a more "natural" swing. If you're using it 2x a day, it doesn't.
