Well, now I’m concerned… here’s the test results they saw before recommending that dose. The “total estrogens” test was called a “fractionated estrogen” test.
Pre-trt labs?

Those are pre T, yes. She recommended 100mg DHEA per day based on those labs. I tried it and felt too anxious, almost aggressive inside. Now I have 5mg capsules and do 5-10mg per day.
Me: 47, overall health is good. No conditions other than having social anxiety. I workout but not a heavy lifter. Walk, jog…etc. general fitness.
My symptoms:
- ED (weak erections not enough on their own for penetration.)
- About zero penile sensitivity ( happened progressively over the past 20 yrs.)
- Very low sex drive.
I started taking 3 clicks Scrotal Cream morning and night approx 1.5mo ago. 3 clicks is 3/4 gram on my bottle.
I’ve noticed increased drive and more random but soft erections.
I experimented with 5 clicks a couple of nights ago and when I woke up, I had a good healthy drive and the morning erection was much firmer.
Is 5 clicks at this dosage too much to do morning and night? Or is it a reasonable thing to try?
Was also given a thyroid pill to take each morning. Although, the test showed my thyroid was in the normal range.
Thoughts?
Yeah. Spoke with the pa last night. I told her I’m stopping the np thyroid. She upped the clicks by two. So now I’m on 5 clicks morning and 5 clicks night time. I took the first of the 5 clicks this morning around 9am. About an hour ago, I felt a burst of drive. To be honest it was a great feeling because that’s how I used to be. Came with a better than average erection. I wonder if this dose is sustainable. I’m supposed to get a cbc on Friday. So I’ll see the hematocrit and I think I added cortisol an
Yeah. Wow. Adding the additional labs to the test on Friday. Maybe smart to drop back to the 3 clicks as I was doing until I see the results. I’m going to post my labs here and will be interested in the feedback. Thanks.Pre-trt TT 309 ng/dL.
You were applying 150 mg T scrotal twice daily (am/pm) which would be considered a high dose.
You started 6 weeks ago and should have had blood work done by now to see where your TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit sit.
Bad move trying to increase your T dose as you have absolutely no clue where your blood markers sit.
Even applying 200 mg T (4 clicks) twice daily is a whopping dose and would have most men's FT through the roof.
Just my $.02 but I have been on T shots for years and wanted to try to scrotal cream a year or so ago as I saw some positive posts about it.Me: 47, overall health is good. No conditions other than having social anxiety. I workout but not a heavy lifter. Walk, jog…etc. general fitness.

Thanks for that feedback. Yeah, I am about on the verge of going back to shots. And if I do, they do a daily Cypoinate. I’ve heard that same story from many others.Just my $.02 but I have been on T shots for years and wanted to try to scrotal cream a year or so ago as I saw some positive posts about it.
I had HORRIBLE results - pretty much felt OK for 1 day then pretty much impotent/major ED issues - very weird. I cannot explain the feedback/hormone pathways involved, but I went back on shots and I was back to normal in about a week. It was a fairly low dose I tried and played around with upping it a little, but it never gave me any improvement over T shots.
My HRT Dr. (with thousands of patients in his clinic) said almost none of his male patients do well on creams compared to shots. YMMV.
Also, so far I’ve felt better drive but not much better erections. In the past, Cypoinate definitely helped erections and drive. It was the aversion to needles that got me interested in the cream.Just my $.02 but I have been on T shots for years and wanted to try to scrotal cream a year or so ago as I saw some positive posts about it.

New labs after I guess 4 weeks on Scrotal cream. Still waiting for more results to come in. I’ve recently decided to go back to testosterone Cypoinate: 150mg/week divided into daily dosing.
Yeah, imagine the 200mg/ml at 3 clicks morning and at night. Libido improved but Ed barely improved. Then was told to increase to 5 clicks morning and 5 clicks at night. I then saw more random erections but not strong enough for penetration without using Cialis. When I took Cypoinate before, the erections were much firmer. I’ve had some advise me to try HCG with Cypoinate, as they’ve found hcg brings back or increases the all important “sensitivity.” I may ask about hcg soon and try it.I just stopped my scrotal gel experiment. Tried it for 4 months. Was on shots for 5 years prior. Just 1 click (200mg/ml, 1 click = 50 mg) put my DHT 4 times over the top of the range. Poor EQ and low libido. Going back to t cyp shots.
Latest tests. Still on Scrotal cream until the Cypoinate arrives. They tell me there’s a delay in testosterone shipments right now.Me: 47, overall health is good. No conditions other than having social anxiety. I workout but not a heavy lifter. Walk, jog…etc. general fitness.
