Coast I had acne on my face buddy but I never really had any on my chest or back. I did get some during football season on my shoulders from my pads but that was to be expected I guess. My chin strap got my chin pretty good too. I had I would say average acne on my face nothing to write home...

Hydrantd thanks for your reply. I am on test cyp. 200 mg every two weeks. I do bi weekly 50mg injections and have just been bumped up to 300mg injections every two weeks so I am starting 150 per week. 0.75ml as its concentration is the 200mg per ml.

Easy pal. Im not looking for a pissing match and it looks like you are new here so welcome to the site. The dosage and protocol is irrelevant regarding my question. Was a simple question about acne while testosterone is going up nothing more. I dont expect you or anyone else to look at my...

Thanks guys I have been around here quite a while and posted my labs plenty. This is not really a lab or dosage question though. My total T is mid 400s with the labcorp ranges of 400-1200 which is why I asked the question. I was low 200s so it has barely moved up in a year but the chest acne...

I know obviously that my T going up would lead to some acne but my right side of my chest up to my clavicle looks terrible. My face is fine and my back is fine until the small of my back which looks really bad as well. Funny enough my left side of my chest is clear. Most of you guys likely...

I used a 27g the last two injections and had my wife do my glute. It is much better with no follow up soreness. It does take a bit to load it up so I may try a 25g.

I think that across the board it has desensitized us without a doubt. Think of a couple generations back when even cleavage was a no no. The level of excitement seeing your sig other nude would have a greater impact than now when you see it everyday and have finger tip access to things that...

Yea I am a paramedic so I am good with the locations but I had been told that the fluid was too thick for anything smaller than a 22g. I definitely went too deep though. Took "deep IM" literally haa. Ill try a 27 today when I do it.

What size needle do you inject with Gene? My thighs are 29 inches and contrary to my upper body they are muscular and I used a 22g 1 1/2 inch needle. I am thinking I went too deep honestly.

Glad you replied Gene. I figured it had to be a coincidence but figured I would ask. I am really excited man I hope that it sorts itself out this time. The gel was such a grind and I can already tell you that the injections are so much easier. I dont have to worry about exposure to my wife...

It could have been a number of things just bad timing. It just seemed like it could have been. I have felt fine today so I will see how Sunday goes I guess. I scorned the interwebs looking for this and all I found was steroid sites talking about it which are completely useless. Most guys...

Les read the thread I started titled "I quit my Androgel today". I had the same problem. Initial T was 230 and it jumped to 650 within the first 2 months with my following result being back down to sub 300. We increased my dose and my next results were 289. I have just gave up on the gel...

Hey fellas I knew switching to injections I would be here a bunch but I injected two hours ago (my first) and now I feel a bit lightheaded. Kind of like I did when I used to take hydroxycut and the original xeneadrine. I am a paramedic thus not afraid of needles or getting poked so this is...

Thank you. I will email that to him and hopefully get him on board.

Nelson they just discontinued my 1% and my most recent presc. Is the 1.6. Regardless the mg per day is the same. My pcp will not consider hcg as he has never prescribed it. Its not that he wouldn't more he doesnt know about it. Do you have any links that would be usefull in educating him to...

Initially my total spiked to near 600 (from 230) and my free T jumped to 21 with my estradiol staying down. I really thought that we were on the right track so my PCP upgraded my dosage a little as I was not feeling any better and my next lab work had went down to around 300 something. That...

Yea I am on 6 pumps now so we will see how it goes. I have 3 kids so I am very careful and put it on minutes before I head out the door to work. My days off are the hard part and I usually put it on after the kids are in bed so I wont have contact with them. The every day thing is getting old...

Hey there fellas I have been absent from the forum here for quite awhile but just had some somewhat disturbing results. I am at work tonight so my exact labs/ranges are not in front of me but I can come close. Initial test in April. Total 259 free 6. I started Androgel 2.5 Grams. My total...

My latest tests were all serum levels so I know the numbers are there. That said going from 229-700 seems like I would be feeling different/better. At this point I really do not feel any change whatsoever. It doesnt make any sense to me that injecting would be different if the numbers...

I may be wrong but I thought eventually your body recognizes that HCG is in fact not LH and you build up a tolerance to it so to speak. I do know on the bases of increased cholesterol with guys on T and the growing amount of circulatory problems with many guys on treatment that the benefits of...

Unfortunately not at this time. After you and I discussed it in another thread I brought it up again to my PCP and he is just unsure of how to go about it given the fact that he has never prescribed it before. I did not push the issue as I wanted to get my T treatment in a good place before I...

The nice part is, as the saying goes, numbers never lie and the fact is I at least know that the gel is being absorbed and raising my levels up. I dont remember exactly but I think my free T was low single digits and my total being 229 then 239 after my first round has come up quite a bit...

Update...... Labs done on 5-12-2014. My PCP called me this AM with the results. Unfortunately since he called me I do not have the ranges at hand. This round we only did the main 3 labs. Testosterone 689 up from 239 eight weeks ago. Free T 18 Estradiol sensitive 12 The strange...

That study shows the opposite of what I had thought. Low T can actually lead to autoimmune diseases not the other way around. I assumed that my UC may have lead to low T but in fact my low T could have lead to the UC. Interesting.......

Thanks Nelson I will check that out. Ya mine happened while I was on a huge 40 acre fire with 6 structures involved. I kept having to go hide in a burned up shed with severe diarrhea and by the 5th time it was solid blood. 3 more times of that and I was as white as a ghost and went to the ER...

I know quite a few members on this site have different forms of autoimmune diseases and I am curious about its relation to low T based on what you have found. I have ulcerative collitis diagnosed a few years ago and it seemed to correlate with my lower energy levels and an overall downgrade in...

Cooper, I am a couple of weeks into my 5gm dosage and honestly I do not feel much different. I go for labs in another 2 weeks and I am really curious if my numbers are changing or not. If I were go guess I would say not much but it is hard to tell since I was at 229 and needed to come up...

Strange how the dosages differ. My androgel is 5gm (5000 mg). I really hope moving from the 2.5 to 5 makes some sort of noticeable difference in how I feel. Just want to get this right and move forward.

I am really glad you posted this "getting answers". I would like to keep this thread going. I have been really "wishy washy" so to speak about this whole process. I am fairly young and erections are not a problem whatsoever. My "urge/desire" however is super low and I had no energy which...

Nelson I wish I could show you how much I appreciate you guys. Honestly if I ever see either of you guys you are getting a hug. Thanks once again.

I recently started T therapy and after being at this site I asked my Dr. if I should get an MRI given that I have extensive head trauma hx. I have twice been unconscious/unresponsive in an ER with one of those being a FFL and an extended ICU stay (20 some years ago). He said he was not too...
