Question about Androgel?

[Bodacious]

Can I put it under my arms or
Between legs? I know it says chest/stomach. I just got it and was wondering BC I don't really wear a shirt that much around the house.

Also is it still on your skin 10-12 hours after you put it on. Say you put it on in the morning take your shirt off and go to bed will there still be some on you ? Or by now its all gone?

Thanks a lot for the help.

I believe the package insert answers those questions. I remember reading something about it already being absorbed into the skin layers after two hours time. When I used it, I applied it to the areas on the back of my legs, behind my knees. Less likely to contaminate others. And if you're an acrobat in bed, hopefully you'll already have it on for over two hours.

Why don't you READ the damn directions, don't just slap it all over random places and then post in 6 weeks about your 200 test levels, read it! Shoulders is what it says, or if you have Dr Crisler he will say someplace else as well and it's NOT your nuts!

ALWAYS RUDE AND NEGATIVE ! WHY DO YOU BOTHER TO POST IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO BE AN A$$ AND NEVER MAKE A PRODUCTIVE POST ? JUST NEGATIVE ? YOUR TRT AIN'T GETT'IN IT ? YOU NEED A NEW Dr. AND YOU NEED A SHRINK FOR SURE

About 2 years ago I was on Andro gel for 6 mths for TRT and it cost a lot more than Testosterone Cypionate ; but the price of Cypionate has tripled in only a year but guys on these boards talk about coupons and have sources for Coupons from goldRx.com and you get a discount from many drug stores and brings it back into affordable range comparable to UGL prices .

The AndeoGel I took about 2 years ago was the 1.5 . I was not prescribed HCG and my Testosterone level showed no signs of increase in blood work and I did see my Estrogen levels increase ? This IMHO was a very bad choice only bad sides and no good effects I was at 78 Test level and my natural level would change as 10 with blood work every 2 mths
(78 initially)
(68 after 2 mths of AndroGel)
(4mths Test level was 79, E2 was 44)
(6 mths E2 was 52 and Test was 77 ?)

I was not a member of this forum and had no one to ask and I have no idea as to why E2 went up and the drop in Test after only 2 mths ? Again no HCG and no Ai.

Dr. changed me to Cypionate and E2 got even higher and Test level reach a high of 378 on 50 MD every 3.5 days and E2 hit 71 after this I got an Ai and found HCG from India ? Now trying to get test to level off around 600 ?

Thanks man. I just started it. Day one into it. Nothing yet. He said it might take few weeks. Going to do blood work again I think next month to see. We didn't get my E2 checked first time with BW I am guessing E2 is estrogen? I will get him to check it a long with a full panel or at least going to ask him.

He was saying g after 2-4 hours everything that was going to get absorbed would get absorbed by the skin. So if after a full day of work I just go home go right to bed. Will there be any left on me at this time? 10-12 hrs later? Thanks.

I am by far no expert to be getting advise from but I don't mind sharing what I have actual 1st hand experience with ?

I read that long boring insert and most of it is common sense, but if you have any spare time I would recommend reading through it not so much the chemicial compounding portion as the use and there is even a recommended way to wash and to protect other on that pamplet that comes in the box. Your Dr. probably somewhat quickly told you to wash your hands and where to apply and then wash your hands again and do not come into contact with small children or women expecting children . At the same time there are a few things I have read on this forum and where to dispense is one . On the forearms What ever your dose is do pumps on one forearm at a time and say 2 pumps on left forearm and rub on right forearm and do the same for the left forearm rub onto right forearm. This method uses all the gel and doesn't require the need for washing hands or worry about transfeer to kids or females through just touch of the hand as this seems to be one of your concerns ?

IMHO if you are rubbing in with your hands you get so little from the gel you are wasting some of the presious gel that is left on your hands and by rubbing fore arms together you just roll your sleeves down and you are GTG I was told by my Dr. to wash my hands pre and post dispensing ?

Good luck and I hope it all works out the way you are expecting ? TRT can be challanging if you are not fortunate to have a progressive and up to date on current TRT proticalls and knowledge is advancing daily even some things have changed since I joined this Forum in 2012 and I am pretty sure it has been around since 2006 almost 10 years is a long time for anything on the Internet ! So IMO the period of time that this forum has been around is proof of it being a valid Liget form of info and not passing out bad info intentionally

Buzzard's advice is good. Take another look at post #6 too. Everyone is different but I felt a big difference in a couple of days.

I am just courious ? Why or who started you on TRT and what was the reason as young as you are ? If you don't mind sharing ?

The doc did. We did some BW and my t levels were low. Don't have the scale in front of me but I know mine was 299 I think in a scale of 348-1197 and my free t levels was 4.3 on a scale of 9.6-20.?

I am just on one pack a day. I didn't even get the pump. I know what your talking about tho. Mine just comes in a little packet.

I'm about half nerves to take it. I am on day 2 going to try it. For a month and see if it helps with t levels. If not I am just going to stop. Just depends on how I feel with it. I mean I got low t levels but I don't think they are to low. I still do whatever have good energy.

A good place is under your forearms. Back of knees is good, shoulders and upper chest.

Another recommendation: Use latex or nitrile gloves to apply. There is an very large amount left on your bare hands after application and hands have very thick skin layers which do not absorb as readily. It's really just wasted. With gloves, use some rubbing alcohol and rub the excess on your body until it's all gone. Also the gloves protect others from contamination - even if you washed your hands, which is a waste also. As Ryan said, do NOT use on scrotum. But if you happen to get some on your rod, it might turn into a magic wand.

I loved Androgel. But it just go to expensive. I needed 3-4 pumps a day. Cost between Test Cyp and that was no contest.

Thanks a lot man. I have talk to kelkel some about it. Guy is super super smart. I might go see another doctor. Get him to run blood work see how it comes back.

I was just wondering if maybe at that time my levels could have just been low.that's why I was wondering if they go up and down. Thanks for the help.

I would not think they would vary a huge amount ? Only say 25 to 30 + or - Depending on when blood panel is taken Testosterone levels are higest in the am . Really amazing all the info you can gain by just reading the stickies and this section is as good of a place to start as any

I would say good idea to see another Dr. and I have had really bad experiences with Dr.'s IMO and my next Dr when I can afford is a urologist and I have had others from this forum agree with that route ? But just tryig another Dr. that you throw a dart at and pick is not a good route . Try to find a coumpounding Pharmacy and ask the druggest if you find one that is friendly ask the Pharmacist if he knows of any local Dr.'s that have proticall desired by you according to the info you can gain by reading all the stickies in the anti-aging section, the nutrition section, the anabolic section. Basic compounds for a young man Dr. scripts Testosterone Cypionate, Anastrozole Genirec Adex,B-12, and the one that is the most expensive is HCG . . . . . almost better to buy a years supply and buy 1 x a year 10,000 iu vials and this is something you might want to try to gain as much knowledge about as pssible ?

I am not suggesting you do this . I am suggesting you do the research and see what HCG alone will do for you ?
