gel

After having issues with injection absorption, I recently switched to testogel and the results have been surprisingly good. Using the technique of showering, exfoliating and applying lotion, it feels like my levels have skyrocketed and stay elevated well into the next day. I am pretty sure that...

I am going to try testogel to see if it has less side effects in place of cypionate which causes me a bounding pulse. I was wondering, provided I can absorb the gel about a couple of things: 1. Does gel (not applied to scrotum) increase DHT proportionately more than injections? I saw in a...

Did you move from taking the T gel to injections (apart from skin irritation) or the way around? If so, why?

I received my first nasal gel pen in the mail from Defy today, but it came with no instructions on how to actually use the pen. The only moving part is the rotating clicker at the bottom. I rotated it fully (several clicks), but nothing came out the dispenser. There is no pump or any other...

I have been using T gel for many years, 2 packets of 1% , 50mg /packet / day. I am considering a change to injectable test/cyp, really just for the cost factor. I just moved to medicare and the deductable plus the cost of the gel is pretty high. I am wondering about the cycle of high to low...

Hi all, Wanted to know if anyone knew this. I'm aware that likely genital skin/scrotum is richest in 5a-reductase and thus yields the most DHT from topical testosterone (gel or cream). Does anyone know which site comes after that? From what I've read the sheer amount of skin you apply on...

If anybody's wondering whether this can be done without burning.. I've tried pouring a thin layer of testosterone gel onto aluminum paper, let it stay out for around.. 2-3 hours, then apply to the balls. The idea is to let some of the ethanol evaporate. And why I do this.. I can't get the...

Hi everyone, I’m on my third nebido injection (dosing interval 12 Weeks) I have a history of some mild bodybuilding cycles that ended up in secondary hypoganadism. My endocronologist insisted in nebido the standard protocol every 12 weeks after the loading phase. I feel better that before but...

Has anyone noticed a lag when switching from injections to gel? After a several days on the gel, I feel like I have quit taking testosterone all together. Does anyone know if there is a time period where the body has to adjust to the new way or form of processing the testosterone?

I was on injectables for almost 5 years and finally gave it up 14 months ago due to poor sleep that I could never correct. Since going off TRT my sleep has normalized, but I do miss the benefits I had while on TRT. Has anyone had any sleep issues while on creams/gels? I was thinking maybe...

Hi I am on TRT from past 6 months and my SHBG levels are low so i take daily injections of 10mg. The reason for daily low dose injection is to ensure that my estrogen is under control. Usually my estrogen is 1.5 times my testosterone. I will post by blood results in 2 days. So, my question is...

This is a re-post to an extent. But what I want to hear is some of your stories on increasing testosterone. Here is mine (without much facts, just how I experienced and read it): I was taking 50mg testosterone gel and had levels at 24nmol/l or almost 700ng/dl. I increased to 100mg and...

I'd been on 50mg/daily for 2 months. Morning wood was present every day. Did at most 0.5mg anasrozole. Bumped to 100mg/daily for 5 days, libido seems down, no morning wood, dry eyes.. I started by increasing anastrozole as well but dropped it for the last 2 of the 5 days. Has anyone...

I know the 20% compounded cream works great and I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but I was very surprised to find out that the 20% compounded gel did not contain any alcohol. Anyone ever try the compounded gel with PLO from Hallandale? Thanks fellas!

Anyone use DMSO along with their testosterone cream/ gel to increase absorption, or know anything about DMSO? Interested in possibly using it.

Howdy all. I self-prescribed myself to T Gel 3 months ago, the results were amazing in getting rid of my symptoms (low energy, depression, bad sleep, poor recovery, etc - despite a healthy diet and all). Anyway fast forward 3 months, I realized I'll be doing this long term so I hooked up with...

I read an article about a Dr prescribed gel and shots, with the idea that the gel would provide a quick pick up. Can't find the article. Has anyone tried this? I'm on .30 ml of 200mg test cypinate 3x weekly, 350 iu of hcg 3x weekly and .25mg of ai 3x weekly. 48yo.last lab results(3 months ago)...

Please advise. Just finished first round of Bio T pellets and about to switch to T gel (20%) next week to get a steady consistent dose. My dilemma is my high SHBG levels. Total T: 646 SHBG: 77.4 Free T: 7.6 Two part question. Will lowering SHBG level increase Free T, and is there a...

I was just listening to a recent podcast with Dr. Crisler. He mentioned ideally he prefers men to be on T-Gel along with a daily shot of HCG or EOD. Is there anyone in this forum that is currently on a gel and seeing good results? Also, anyone know what the cost of Gel through Defy?

I'm finally about to start TRT (and boy, am I ready), and I've done a fair amount of research on the pros and cons of injectable vs. transdermal TRT. So, I'm currently thinking I will start with a gel and then switch to injectables if, after sufficient time and tweaking, I don't feel optimized...
