Tesosterone - Injectible or Gel?

Where I talk about my experiences with Testosterone Cypionate and Androgel, and celebrate having enough gel so I don't have to give myself shots for quite some time. (warning: I'm obviously not a medical professional, research stuff for yourself)

Hi shhhon :)

i actually have a question for you about androgel. I am in my 7th month on injectable T and am looking to make the change to Gel. I have been having needle anxiety. This video was made a while ago and i am wondering if you are still on the gel? have you found it to work pretty well? are there any disadvantages? let me know what you think. thanks for posting this video...it is the ONLY one of it's kind. be well bro...

James,

Thanks for your comment. I've been running low on gel so will be switching back to injectable soon for financial reasons.

It seems to have a slightly slower or slighter affect than the injectable. My T levels are slightly lower on the gel. That said, they're still within normal adult male levels, so my doc didn't raise my dose.

I'll make another video soon.

Hang in there.

Nope, other than a slight change to my hair line, I've had no hair loss. Which is pure luck, because my grandfather was bald before 30.

If you are taking too much testosterone you can have rapid hair loss, so get your levels checked and make sure you're staying within a normal range of T.

Hi,

cool Vid, I started gel "5mg" 2 weeks ago and unfortunately have seen no change, have being bed bound for past 5 weeks with fatigue, headaches, depressed and joint pains, do you think i should be seeing results now or is it still too early.my doctor is on hols until monday so not sure what he will do next 4 me?

[shhhon]

Hang in there dude. 2 weeks is pretty early. Testosterone takes a while to show it's effects and everyone's body is different. I hope you sort out why you're experiencing fatigue and pain. I have fibromyalgia and my energy and muscles have improved since starting T, maybe you'll have similar results, but it's been a gradual thing thing for me. I didn't notice any changes till about 5 or 6 weeks I think when my voice started sounding froggy. Thought I was getting a cold.

I started taking testosterone with the gel and still use it, because there are so many changes. my voice started breaking 5 days after the first use of testosterone.

I know both types of guys. some can use the gel, others cant´´t, because their skin seems to be unable to absorb enough testo

[shhhon]

Yeah I've been running out of gel and can't afford more so may end up back on the shots. Will be interesting to see how I respond to switching from daily small doses to weekly larger doses

Injecting a vegetable oil wouldn't turn around and come out your pores. I think the T itself causes your body to produce more of its own oil.

Hey, shhhon, can i have androgel or other testosterone gel without presrcription?

[CSSPR00]

fuckin dike!

[fish094]

only 4 pumps? i use 7-8 a day. damn.

Hi,

unfortunately Im slightly short in testo towards the normal range which causes great symptoms nontheless. Especially psychological ones. I would like to take the injections because I heard theyre more effective but then I heard they dont produce constant levels of T and cause testicle atrophy more often, which Id like to prevent. Would you recommend the gel as a start? And do you have to break off the T-gel medication from time to time to spare your own T-production?

Thanks.

I started on Androgel in April 04, switched to shots in November. For me the shots work better. as far as acne goes I find that if my estrogen gets out of balance that is what causes that as opposed to the peeks from the shots.  I do weekly shots 100mg (.5cc). I take DIM to control estrogen.

[ChromosomesXXY]

Acne is a side effect of all testosterone therapies including AndroGel.

Doc just put me on 5gram gel cuz my Test was only 291. Years of steroid abuse fried my nuts. Haven't used juice in 10 years but my Test never recovered. I wanted 10 gram gel to start but Doc wanted to begin with 5 gram. It's only been a week and I do feel better.

How do u like the gel and what strength r u using. Gel is way safer and much more natural to the body. Injectible will fuck u up and is abnormal to the body. Gel is more in harmony with body's natural Testosterone production.

[iamaGod357]

HI i will help but i need to know your gender or if u are a transexual

Did taking Androgel make your dick bigger? Just wondering. I have to take it and mine's not small, but hey, who couldn't use a couple extra inches? Yes, this is a serious question.

[BrawlerBitch]

I would be concerned about toxitity due to transportation method. What do you know about this?
