Testosterone Gels

[lundgren]

I just had blood work done and I'm at 813ng/dl that's up from 133ng/dl when I started in February of this year. I'm using 3 pumps a day.

Woww !!! that's a nice score ! Impressive for a simple cream in local administration.

But how do you feel before at 133ng and now with 813ng ?

You feel the difference in the mental and physical sides ?

I feel amazing. It's been life changing in so many ways. I'm 33 and looking back I believe I've suffered from low T for many years now but only this year have sought treatment.
Mentally much sharper & stronger and put on quite a bit a muscle. Still dealing with gyno, going to see Dr. about it this coming week.

Yeah man I was 26 when I started, and I had pretty low test levels for how ambitious I was it was just equating to anxiety, amongst having bad friends. So I went on T and cut them all off and it changed my life for the best.

Think my test levels were about 433... was so long ago now. Pushed my friends that would highly benefit from it since they were unable to just make very simple decisions for improvement, but the sloth reigned supreme on their lives, deadly sin indeed. Some could say 433 was good but nah... I was a mess. 1100 is optimal and I am exactly this on 180mg of Cyp.

As for gyno, be careful with that, get blood checked. I have quite a bit but fortunately not noticeable at current bf%. I had sort of a slow burn gyno... My estrogen was slightly elevated for years slowly contributing to some tissue development...Never noticed it until it was "too late" more or less. But it's not moob level.

I'm very happy for you, that's really hypogonadism (level + feeling)

I hope this medication work long time as possible ! ;-)

About estradiol, i hope your doctor find the good protocol for helping this value.

From my side during the last cycle i used Arimidex 1mg, it's very powerful, i bought a tool to cute / break the pill in 2 and in 4, with 1/4 twice week my estradiol crashed.

Nolvadex 10mg daily in around 2 weeks the same, and yes just 10mg daily.

I'm interested by the next, if possible give some uptad about what medication and protocol you have for the estradiol.

Take Care & Be Safe <3

Some doctors like gels because you will have the consistent blood levels of testosterone every day that will be high in the morning and low in the evening, mimicking the body's circadian rhythm. When injecting you tend to have high testosterone levels right after injecting but it declines each day and you might start to feel depressed with low levels while you are waiting for your next injection. Also some people might get insomnia if the testosterone doesn't work its way out of the system before the evening comes around. So there are good reasons to use the gel. It is a pain in the ass, though.

I do micro injections daily with an insulin pin for my trt that’s dr prescribed. I’m on 140mg/week and my levels are around 1100 consistently. I just inject .1cc a day bc my test is 200mg/ml. I don’t use an AI either. I’m 33 btw. Destroyed my endrocine system with heavy aas use from 18-26.

Oil based Cyp?
In the belly?
No problems with pips?

I don’t do stomach, I used 31g 5/16” insulin needle and I’ll pin in delts, quads, or glute. Oil based cyp. Can pretty much put anywhere. Zero pip at all, flows smooth through oil. I don’t do stomach bc I don’t feel comfortable bc it’s oil based, but I just don’t know enough about pinning in the stomach sub Q, I’d have to research more. Other than that I’ve had zero issues what so ever. I can say switching to every day pins at such a small dose has been night and day. No side effects at all. All my labs are in perfect range too. I used to do 2x a week IM and hated how I felt.

Obviously I’m not saying the gel isn’t good, I’ve used both. But after switching to my new protocol. I would never change. I also use Merek Health for my trt and hormone optimization. Hope this helps some bro

Thats really good absorption. This will decline over the years typically so monitor it. Gels worked for me for about 8 years before I had to switch.
