I started on Androgel. Eventually switched to a cream application and then later to injections. My changes came pretty fast on gel, despite what people say. I think it just depends on the individual and the dose. It did get really annoying to have to deal with it every day, plus you have to wear a shirt when you're being physically intimate with someone because it rubs off. But it was pretty mellow & worked really well for me. I switched to injections for financial reasons.
@Zachvaughan101 Well, I haven't taken it for almost 5 years & back then I had insurance & just paid a copay. But my friend who didn't have insurance & was taking it up until very recently, was spending about $100 every month or so (depends on your dose - he was on a pretty low dose, about 2 pumps per day).
@Zachvaughan101 cont., and with insurance when I was on it, I paid about $15/month but if I'd lost my insurance it would have gone up to $100 or more/month.
Androgel works by being absorbed through the skin. The ratio of applied T to the T actually getting into the bloodstream varies from person to person depending on their skin characteristics. If a specific level of T gets into your bloodstream, if will have the same effect regardless of whether it was absorbed through your skin or leached out of a muscle.
For most people, the amount of Androgel that must be applied to achieve a given T level costs much more than the amount required (cont)

Hey Beck! Pippin (in Århus) was on androgel for a while before he started injections. Drop me a line on FB and I'll introduce you to each other.

I liked your statement "Made in Germany." Clearly, many of their products continue to be first-rate. ^_^

for injection. The only way you will know how much Androgel would be required is to try it and have your blood T levels measured. Lloyd
