HRT with Testim didn't work too well... Androgel or Inject?

Ryan, when you say good what do you mean? And how does your feeling "bad" compare? I'm just confused about this that's all... and I don't know if perhaps when you say you feel bad at 1200 it makes you feel the same was as if you were at 300 or something else.

Okay here is how I rate how I felt and at what does

4 pumps 1.62 gel, over 1000 test lvl -was over the highside on this, felt okay but a little bit anxiety, was okay social still felt beat at the end of the day and I work from home so it's not a hard job.
3 pumps 1.62 gel, 750 test lvl - I feel the best at this level, great sex drive, happy, like to be around people and a positive outlook on life. Good gym workouts good recovery.
100 shot Cyp 1x a week, 830 test lvl - Felt okay on this, but the 4 pumps of gel I had better sex drive, felt better then no shot but not as good as I feel on 4 pumps and feel better on 3. Just ho-hum about life no drive to do much did not want to be around people that much, wanted to stay home, felt like shit day 6-7 before shot.
150 shot cyp 1x a week, 1200 text lvl - Felt worse then 100 shot got mad quick and had a short fuse dumb things pissed me off like someone not parking stright in a parking space, felt like shit, was a asshole and 0 reason to go out and be social.

Also after each time I changed I give it 4 weeks and did bloodwork as well, was doing HCG 2x @ 250 a week.


My goal is to feel great, have great sex and be as happy as I can with my life. If I wanted 2k test lvl I am sure my doc would let me, he lets me do any lab I want. I think most people don't put in the effort to see what works for them and read higher = better but that's bullshit to a lot of people, If you want a 2k test lvl shoot up 2-250 a week and tell yourself you feel good even if you may not.


Also my E2 is always 20-24 no matter what my test lvl was, before HCG it was 6.

Wow interesting, ever take an AI?

[Ryanmcd]

Never need a AI, in fact was E2 was too low and HCG helped bring it up. Was at 5 before HCG, with HCG I am at the low 20's. My brother is the same way.

Wow, how many pumps were you on? Do you know for your friend?

I was on 4 pumps and my friend is also on 4 pumps. He was on 8 pumps with the 1% with similar results. Some people just do well on the gel.
