androgel 1

Has anyone had good results with androgel 5g? Most of the posts Iv'e read people are saying that there test level lowered after taking it or never raised. That doesnt make sense to me. i am 33 and have a low test of 325 right now. I just started androgel 5g for two days now.

I started FEELING better on that dose and my levels did go down. I didn't take my dose the day OF the blood test and wonder if that could have made the difference. When my dose was at 10mg, my levels were at 785 for that day. What would be nice is if it was easier to get tested more often and at different times a day. But I did start feeling better and that is a GOOD and normal starting dose.

I'm on 10 grams androgel and doing ok. Heres what happens to some guys, actually alot guys starting andorgel at 5 grams. A healthy young male produces 7 to 10 mgs of test per day. Now, a guy has low test, maybe producing only 3 to 4 mgs per day, he goes on 5 grams of andorgel and his test levels drop and he feels worse than before he began hrt. Heres what happens...the introduction of exogenous (external source) of test will suppress the natural production of test by the testes. So if your producing 3 to mgs per day, and because of hrt, that 3 to 4 is shut down, only to be replaced by 5 mgs per day...well you haven't gained much, if anything, see what I mean.

The docs are mostly conservative in dosing, starting at 2.5 or 5 mg per day. What you may find is 7.5 to 10 mgs per day is what you want. Hope this helps.
