Mixing T treaments.

**2Sox** · 03-05-2013, 06:15 PM

Has anyone ever heard of mixing TRT treatments? Like applying gel on the down side before the next shot. Would there be any benefit? Just curious....

I'm sure some people do it, I doubt it's per doc's orders. Injectable is more than plenty, there is no need to use a transdermal with it. If one needs more or less, you would simply adjust your dose.

You doc is not going to prescibe both and your insurance want pay for both,,,, IM injections the way to go...no mess, and no chance of exposing your wife and kids to the gel

Makes sense. I was asking because in the paperwork I filled out for my clinic there was one that was an agreement not to use gels while under treatment. Clinic had the option to end treatment if they found out. I guess people can get scripts from multiple doctors if they really wanted to do something like this.

But why would the clinic require this?

In one for my pervious post I asked about blasting with androgel 1.6% while on IM. The reason I asked was because I timed it just right to switch to test Cyp while I still had 3X refills on my androgel (lol). Other then that I would say no doctor would prescribe both and I dont think you want to be caught "shopping"

Well, if you mixed treatments and the doc didn't know it might confuse them because it would skew the blood test levels...I do actually know of a guy that is doing both and I believe it's with his doc's supervision...it might be nicer for the patient in the short term but I think it's really unnecessary in the long term and just makes things more complicated...

I have had the Test Cyp pellets injected about 3 months ago. Total Test was down to 750 and I decided to bump it up a bit with 200 mg of injected Sustone. Haven't checked the BW yet, did it last night. Just trying to get a some more bulk out of it. Started adding 12 mg/day Dbol to the mix too. Think it will help?
As for the benefits, I will chime again in as soon as I feel any or have more bw to post.

I said nothing of doing this myself and did not mean to imply such. As I said, this document peaked my curiosity and I thought I'd bring it up. Thanks for your replies. Any others would be welcome.

Of course it will bump things up. 750 is a fine level though, all things considered. Adding bulk is more about nutrition and training than it is the amount of aas you do.

No, I didn't think you were doing that, I was just trying to explain why I thought it was in the contract you signed...

I noticed less is more. I just do 2,pumps of androgel now. It works good for me

**VTX1800** · 03-06-2013, 08:42 AM

I'm in the same boat, I have a bottle Of Androgel with multiple refills. I thought about usin it with injections for the added test to help gain strength but Im afraid my BW will lure the doc into lowering my cyp. Sooo As for now, Im just going to play it safe And get my hormones stable, will prob. Get my Androgel refills though before they expire so I can at least have some sort of test for a backup plan.

I have done it but my doc is okay with it.

I did 100 a week at day 6-7 I would do 2 pumps of gel 1.62 and that helped, BUT now I just do 120 a week and skip the gel bloodwork on day 7 is mid 800s. I guess it's whatever makes you feel well and how you are with your doc. I like the 120 a week and 100 HCG a day and I feel great.

I do the Testopel implants about 3x per year, and have a scrip for a small amount of the 1.62% gel (2 pumps/day)....so I am mixing...sort of. The testosterone levels from pellets drops off around month 3, so the gel is to help keep my levels up until another pellet procedure can be done. Both work fine for me, so I am good doing either/both as necessary. I think if you want to "blast"....the injections are the way to go about this.

This makes good sense. I did the pellets too and got the Androgel to supplement for the last few weeks. This way you don't have to drag your ass around until the next procedure.
