    No instructions? Is your doc doing blood tests after two months? My doc did my bloods five weeks after beginning therapy and spoke with me weekly. I personally wouldn't use Androgel. I have kids that jump in bed with my wife and I. Plus, on this board most the guys switch to injections after not being satisfied.

    The idea of cross-contamination is perhaps one of the biggest overblown ideas in TRT. I'm convinced that the same people that said testosterone will force you to become a raging mass murder are the ones that started the contamination insanity. There are actually several documented studies where they have covered a man in testosterone cream and tied a women to him for 12-24hrs. How much cross-contamination was there in any of the studies? Zero.

    Thats good to learn. Maybe I should tell that to my lowtestosterone .com doctor who told me the down side to gels would include my wife and children. Thanks for clearing that up.

    the idea of this study makes absolutely no sense! rubbing another body or even touching a man covered in test cream will most definitely get on the skin of the other person. unless you mean they waited until the man is completely dry for few hours, maybe?!

    but then again we all know and give advice for those who use gels not to draw blood from the same spot they applied the cream because it contaminates the BW. I never used gels so I can't speak for them but from what I have learned from members here that cross contamination dose happen.

    Agree! I am so sick of the commercials that repeatedly warn about the risk of exposure -- and little else. No mention that (1) one's natural production of T will shut down, (2) other medications may be necessary, and (3) you may require treatment for the rest of your life!

    surprised they dont need to mention that natty production gets shut down in the fine print..shouldnt that be a side effect?
    btw if i were to use a gel, id go with testim, the ladies supposedly love the pheromones in it

    Does it matter if your pumping out 100 to 225 natural test?

    a lot of these old guys may have t anywhere from 200-400. most guys dont have t that low..even on this board id guess most guys were in the 300s. you and kel are prob the lowest ha. Your t is crazy low considering you've never juiced....but it's remarkable how you benched 405.

    Ya but low is low. Ranges are only for scumbag insurance agencies. Someone could feel like extreme garbage with 305 test and 7 estrogen. So my point was does it matter if your natural test production does not cut it at all? Also some doctors believe you should never be under 600 at any time at any age. Test does more for your body then you can feel at any given time.
