Testosterone Gel ??? questions.

[TASSY5]

My doctor got my blood results in today. I am 9 points over the normal level but he said it could still be raised. He prescribed me a Testosterone Gel for me to put on in the mornings after I shower. Do anyone of you have experience with this GEL???Also he said in 6 weeks he will re test me to see if my levels came up and if it isnt doing so he will provide me a injection kit to inject myself every 2 weeks.

What are your opinions?
I am a 40 yr old male. I do work out. 5'10" 235 lbs
All info is appreciated.

Thank you,

Its an FDA aproved testosterone therapy technique that aids people with low testosterone (hypogonadism) or a desire for levels slighty higher. Until recently hormone shots or testosterone patches were nessesary as treatment options.

get the INJECT over the GEL

[TASSY5]

I will but the doctor proscribed me the Gel for now.
Will it assist me in any way of muscle forming? (getting bigger)

Wait for him to prescribe you the injection's.

No, the Gel won't do what you want it to. Here' what I would do. Don't use the gel, but tell the doc your are. That way when he re tests your levels he'll see the gel isin't working and with your continuall bitchin that you feel the same as before, he will have no other option but to give you inject -a- wonderfuls.

agree,, i have so many patches of those testostrone gel i got from my dads closet... he never used them..

[TASSY5]

OK, I will do just that. Also I do notice since i startrd using the GEL that there is a strange smell associated with it. Not a bad smell, but for sure a aroma that I am not fammiliar with. I dont like it. I will call him on Wed and say that I can't take the smell associated with this GEL. Maybe he will go ahead and prescribe me the shot.

I wear Androderm Patches and I can vary my Testosterone levels from the mid 300's to 1100's depending on if I squeeze any of the left over cream out of the patches after I take them off.

You know its possible if you say that that he will just say toughen up ... and deal with it.. my advice would be to say you are using it when you arent then he will be left with no other choice besides the injectable...

[TASSY5]

You might be right, but I am not going to waste another 6 wees waiting. I will call him Monday and see what he will do. If nothing at that time I will have to wait then. But worth a try wouldn't you say?
