    Does scrotal application of Androgel give a steady testosteron level or not?

    Do not put Androgel on your scrotum its alcohol based are you on the max pump dose? Four pumps of 1.62 Androgel? I got off Androgel and got on scrotum cream for the same reason it's way better.

    Association of Male Hypogonadism With Risk of Hospitalization for COVID-19 (2 Sept 2022)

    Are they? I just checked state by state data on boosters and they are way down from from initial vaccines, I'd say about 15-20% compared to initial double vaccine where the stats are usually 75-95%.

    Hematocrit and TRT. How to have balance.

    Yea they are not suppose to use that for anyone with a prescription they did it for me once and then I guess policy changed and all TRT donors need to be pricked. I ask to use it when the Hemocue came back 17.2 and they said sure and it also came back 14 lol. I get a vibe they believe it's not...

    Hematocrit and TRT. How to have balance.

    @BigTex Nothing wrong with trying it half the symptoms people claim with transdermals I don't experience all the benefits with injections I never got glad I switched up no telling if it will last so here's hoping for the best. My doctor also claimed Jatenzo was the last stop in controlling H&H...

    Hematocrit and TRT. How to have balance.

    I was on a two week donation cycle and only switching to gels and creams did it stop no amount of injection dosage, timing or schedule changes helped in any way maybe bought me an extra week or so. I don't know what happened but my days with injections are over, I feel your pain going way down...

    Feel worse with higher test levels

    They good thing about creams is you can adjust dosage by where you apply it, so maybe only do half of the click on scrotum and half inner thigh or better yet just switch to inner thighs and go from there.

    Managed hematocrit but not hemoglobin?

    @M.J I recommend getting a capillary HB tester and just monitor that way Im gonna vouch for the Hemocue 201HB or the BioAid HB tester because the microcuvettes are cheap. From there you monitor how much it fluctuates with creams and gels is will be a lot because its aligned with your T...

    Hematocrit and TRT. How to have balance.

    @BigTex I stopped, switch to Androgel for a month went back to injections and it helped my numbers a lot. I only seen a few people mention this works and it worked for me of course stopping for a month or two sucks and I packed on a ton of weight but was able to get it back off. Big difference...

    Hematocrit and TRT. How to have balance.

    No sleep apnea or smoking right? Typically you will need a complete protocol overhaul to fix it like switching to creams then Androgel, then Natesto or Jatenzo no injections. I will add although not mention here a lot is guys go through great lengths to avoid almost all iron intake (and...

    Power Red or whole blood donation for high hematocrit ?

    @Gman86 I'm sorry I should have clarified that was Power Red, and no you don't bounce back from that big of an iron loss is a short period of time but you have to really try to limit iron supplementation or you will bounce back if your erythrocytosis is pretty bad. To avoid what @ajax31 is...

    Power Red or whole blood donation for high hematocrit ?

    I can't find the study now but absent iron stores a capillary stick will show much higher HG than a venous test. I find this shocking you had the same level the next day as Power Red is definitely thins the blood since it's a whopping 400mg iron loss, this might be because you do not weigh...
