Calling all 1.62% testosterone gel users -- how many pumps do you use?

[Dinkleberry]

I'm in my mid 40s and I'm on 1.62% testosterone gel. I'm currently taking 3 pumps each day and I think my total T is probably somewhere 250 - 350 ng / dL. I say this because my total T was only 200 ng / dL when I was taking to 2 pumps daily and then I switched to 3 pumps daily and I haven't done any bloodwork since going from 2 pumps daily up to 3 pumps daily.

This amount still seems kind of low. I want to use moar.

Anyone else here use 1.62% gel, also? How many pumps per day do you use and what are your total T levels like?

depends on how man mg per pump man. imagine around 15mg per pump?

how long after your application of the gel did u get your blood work.. needs a few hrs min..(imagine can look up typical time for serum levels to rise) some folks barely absorb any. also best to use after a hot shower and cover more area.

Everyone is different. The only way to know is to use x pumps, test, use x+1 pumps, test, etc

What are your total testosterone levels after doing TRT for awhile?

 

[OldGHGuy]

Yes do the bloodwork and if your providor want get you to the level you want, find a new one. Easy these days to find a TRT providor

Drop your Dr and the gel, like someone told you before, use an online clinic or self administer injectable test
