    So im doing my research infront of my first trt-appointment wednesday

    A friend of mine at the gym in his 50s is given testogel which gives him a stabil 650.

    At the gelinfo i read that u are supposed to put on 5 g ed and 5 g contains 50 g testosteron.

    Isnt this much for trt?

    Everyone absorbs the gel different but you will only absorb a proportion of it no matter how much you absorb. I think you can help increase absorption using moisturiser after.

    I used it as my initial therapy but applying everyday and waiting for it to dry and risk of transfer to my daughter means I changed it pretty quickly. Felt ok on it though.

    I was initially given testogel like BiB was.

    My levels crashed on it. I felt worse than ever, and I had the same problem with the kids. At the time my daughter was a couple months old, and I had to avoid touching her, or my son while this fucking gel dried/soaked in.

    BiB is right about the fact that it does work well for some, and not others. There is a lot of people suggesting that moisturiser on top of the gel increases absorption, but I don't recall any studies or evidence to prove it.

    I have an underlying suspicion that the testogel effectiveness is dependent on BF%. Of course, that's just my own theory!

    Thanks. Good to know. I think my doc will suggest the gel because this is norway. Good to know that some will feel worse on it. Cant in my deepest thoughs understand why though.

    Your levels crashed?...e2 high and total test low or?

    I was put on it first for my trt treatment and couldn't tell the difference, did nothing for me what so ever and infact was a pain in the arse using it. It was dropped after a few weeks and went on Test E which was fine and made a big difference in my life, then I was put on Nebido and that's when the magic happened.

    I don't recall the e2 levels. I'll dig them out. Below are the graphs/data. I started gel in January 2016. Look at the February blood test.

    I have been on Nebiso since march. Since that blood test and I said to my Dr. This isn't working.

    Don't kickstart. Let the Neviso give you true readings. It'll be more beneficial to help you dial it in.

    You'll see from my blood levels it's been a rollercoaster. I've felt "good" since probably November. So maybe 6-7 months of Nebido.

    1000mg every 70 days (10 weeks) is the recommended protocol.

    With Nebido be sure to get a booster pin at six weeks mark, it will help levels dial in faster.

    I've been on trt for around 12 to13 yrs so it's probably been 10yrs on nebido. I take 1000mg 4ml every 12 week's but have been down to every 11 wks but they changed it due to my t levels. Not cycled for 2.5 yrs

    TU is by far the less harsh on those, and the vets will confirm you this. Gels are the worst because of massive conversion to DHT and E2.

    Sounds about right, I pay 100€ for each nebido at pharmacy. Not subsidised by local NHS

    I thought you lived in a rich country, had a expensive house and a good business?!?!?

    The last few days you are overly concerned about my budget... cant you afford 100€ every 10-12 weeks? Things must be going bad for you

    Same here, but nebido costs 159 euros. However regional sanitary system can override national and some offer it free if charge. Not mine since it's bankrupt lol.

    You're being ripped off. Mine is free. Of course I have to get the nurse to inject it, I'd rather pay the £8.20 to do it myself. Although I'm a little bit in love with one of the 2 nurses I normally see.

    You only get free prescriptions if you have an NHS exemption card?

    Unless your medication is going to your doctors surgery directly... they might catch up with you one day. Be careful there!

    My Mrs just got slapped with a small bill of ~£50 for some unpaid prescriptions.

    Hate to see you get whacked with years of Nebido charges!

    Isnt this much for trt?
    The following is from a clinical dermal absorption study of Test. "The variation observed may be largely attributed to human variability in dermal absorption and the skin source. For the most lipophilic compound, testosterone , skin thickness proved to be a critical variable." The amount of fat under the skin has a direct affect on the amount of Test absorbed through the skin. It sounds like the doc's take a shot gun approach. Put a lot of cream on the skin and see how much is absorbed. Track the absorption and then adjust the dosage. I like injections for TRT because it's more exact.
