I have recently started taking t-shots for low t-levels. I was at about 170 ng/dl with LH at 1.6 mIU/mL.

I received a shot of 200 mg for the past two weeks, and from here on, my shots will be administered once everyone two weeks. After my fourth shot, I am to get a blood test a week after.

I have three questions

1. Given my initially low numbers and my doctors desire to get me in the 500-600 range, can I expect these shots to really do anything in terms of substantially building muscle?

2. Could I improve my muscle building by taking androgel in addition to the shots to boost my t-levels more? Would there be any additional risks to this?
