how to make transdermal testosterone?

You can try adding Carbomer 940 or 980 to your solution as a thickening agent to make it a gel. Simply add it little by little and mix throughly until it’s your desired viscosity. You can find carbomer 940 on Amazon. No guarantees, but this is what I’d try.
Thank you. That’s essentially the idea I wanted to try. Will definitely try with a small portion first to not potentially waste all of it.

Just FYI, you’ll need to hydrate the Carbomer first (use distilled water) for maybe ~20 minutes or so via low shear mixer to properly to achieve your desired viscosity, but a neutral PH is also key for Carbomer to properly thicken. I’d recommend keeping your PH at about 6 when working with Carbomer. If needed, adding a little sodium hydroxide can bring your PH to that level.

I’m still very curious if anyone has tracked their results on this in terms of any muscle gain and fat loss. As some of numbers people have put up that their test levels are while on the transdermal are that of being on cycle.

Very informative thread
 
I had suggested using the phlogel

How did u mix it all? What type of test?
I used Test Base. I just put 6g test base in mortar and ground it up real fine then I added 10g phlogel and mixed it really well then added 10g more and mixed and continued to do that until all of it was mixed. 100mg/ml dosage. Once all mixed I put it into a 60ml syringe with cap to use.

ointment mills essentially flatten the cream over and over.. mortar pestle sounds good but also a scraper on glass that you can work back and forth alot and clean up easily.

stay away from natural stone mortar, ceramic non porous is what u want.

also, we used to get syringe attachments that you could squirt back and forth a bunch of times, but that may of been for making of the PLO itself, but I think we dissolved contents prior to mixing, cant remember.. anyway, id be interested to see absorption of alcohol vs PLO, one would think PLO would work better and perhaps a bit longer absorption, but thats a guess.

i will try ,would it lose

i did this and now it changed color to white and cant disolve propertly after 2 heating,what can i go
Water and test dont mix without a super solvent. I suggest 10% DMSO with Ethyl Alcohol or just grain alcohol with your test base. The alcohol does the same thing as DMSO just not as well but the two together will get it through your skin.

100mg a ML is a good mark. Beyond that there might be residue. The lower DMSO content doesnt burn as badly. Also, if you put it on you testicles it burns less, believe it or not, and higher absorption through this area of the body

This is pretty cool. Yeah I'm curious the results others get with homemade. If good enough I would switch to save money. This is my results 4.5 hours after application with 20% testosterone cream in atrevis base using two 0.25ml topi-clicks on the scrotum.

That’s decent numbers!

What have you noticed using this? Would you compare the use of this the same as injecting?

How long have you been using the topical for now? Has mood and libido? And depending on how long you’ve been using the topical, has there been any gain or fat loss?

Thanks a bunch for sharing your numbers bro

I've been using it for two years now. I use MacroFactor and my tdee did go up a few hundred calories after starting. My natty total T was only 280 ng/dl so it was a big jump. Compared to injections I do get an energy boost around 15-30 minutes after application. Mood is better as I used to get tired and worn out throughout the day and that stopped. I have the energy now to do task after task which really helps around the house. I've never had an issue with libido. It was already high pre trt so I can't say I noticed a difference there.
Dieting did become easier and harder at the same time
My tdee went up and I was no longer losing strength over time but my appetite sky rocketed. I was already using mounjaro but it's like it cut the dose in half. Later when I added HGH it's like the mounjaro stopped working at all lol. Now I do mounjaro 12.5mg and mid week take 2mg semaglutide. That has me close to where I was with just 10mg mounjaro before I started this whole trt/steroid adventure. I've never strictly done trt with injections so I can't compare but when I cycled with my coach last I did stop the cream. Biggest difference was what I mentioned earlier, that energy surge and alertness I get shortly after application was gone. Had to resort to using more coffee in the morning lol

How’s your libido when not using a topical? And I’m assuming it’s good after applying a transdermal?

Awesome outcome! Did you have E2 and DHT measurements to go along with that? I’m curious as it seems that the transdermal route favors conversion to DHT compared to injection.

And is that from a compounding pharmacy? Or did you brew it yourself? The atrevis base had me wondering.

It's from a compound pharmacy. I did not test dht or e2 but you are correct that my doc did inform me that dht levels would be much higher than injection. But he added that just because serum levels are high in the blood does not mean that it is high in the actual tissue. No way to know that without a biopsy. But at least in the two years I've been using the cream I never had any shedding. The only time I had shedding was actually when I was running TMT plus anavar. No cream use at that time

Do you mind DM'ing? I've been looking for a source in regards to DHT cream. I want to utilize it in application to prevent scar tissue- Fibrosis in the Corpora Cavernosa of the penis. Rat studies show fibrotic tissue development after extended use of 5-AR drugs (I.E Finasteride & Dutasteride; Dutasteride for me specifically) and even if there's a small chance I'm not going to risk it. Or do you only receive it through your doctor?
