Newbie Confused Why Everyone Injecting and No transdermal?

[MikeOfEster]

your going to,be hard pressed to even,get the equivalent of pinning 100 mg a week with any amount of gel. it would require you to,basically dip yourself into,a tub of it.

butbi will guarantee this, the amount you'll be absorbing will shut you down.

can't reinvent the wheel here

As I said I am a newbi but I question the level of anti-gel sentiment. When I was using Androgel (1.65% at two pumps a day = 40mg) I got to therapeutic levels within 6 weeks. Maybe you are saying "my" gel will be much more inefficient than Androgel. That's likely as I'm still having solvent issues and wont be blood tested by doctor for a month. Also I don't know what you mean by "shut you down" for if you mean will stop all natural production does that not contradict them saying I will not get a good dose? Please understand my learning curb.

Yes, any effective form of exogenous testosterone (gel or injected) will shut down endogenous production pretty much completely. That's why we layer in HCG as per previous discussions. I don't mean to discourage you from your endeavors, but having been on TRT for over 6 years, I can say with all certainty that it needs to be a sustainable program. One that is easy to administer and gets reliable results. For me, that's 0.2 to 0.25 mL T-cyp injected every 3 days with a 28G insulin syringe. Quick, easy, and painless. Since it's also doctor prescribed, it comes from the pharmacy ready to use. HCG is a little more of a hassle, as I have to mix it up about every 6 weeks, but that's manageable.

If you believe you can sustain your self-compound of a T-gel for the rest of your life, then go for it. Whatever works!
