Gel, Cream or Shots
ad
I visited my urologist today for blood work. He said, insurance companies will not cover treatment unless levels are below 300. He insists that creams and gels work alot better than shots. He says, shots will give you highs and lows throughout the day; where as, topicals give you a steady level. He says, his goal is 400-500 at any given time. Any thoughts?

AnonGothic used testim for quite some time and while his levels went up... I can say with some confidence that his levels were not near 400-500 and he was using any and all he could get out of the tubes.. (saving the empties and cutting them open to get it all out) .. I d say at some point he was using 4 tubes a day.. the doc is right injecting once or twice a month is a sure set up for a nice ride on the roller coaster of my test levels go up and then my levels go down..... the testim could possibly work for you as far as straight up replacement but if you are looking for more....
I could cruise on 400-500 with gel or creams especially if my insurance is paying for it, then blast with some ug stuff like mike said. But, I need to wait and see how my results come back. Iam not sure my levels will be below 300, but my doctor will still treat me if they are not between 400-500. The only down fall is my insurance will not cover it. I've been feeling better and my testicles have got bigger since dieting and weight lifting. I should have waiting until after my tests to start getting back in shape because I know my levels were lower 4 weeks ago...lol
Anonwell... there are ways to make your levels drop if need be
The only way I know is to start a cycle then have blood work done when the steroids have cleared.
Anonworks every time
Now, time to figure out a cycle....
Anonthats easy .... You are new to gear right? TEST only ...
I've done 2 cycles about 5 years ago.
Test in a vial comes from a compound pharmacy basically generic. The products your doctor is representing come from a pharmaceutical company? Are there generics for the creams and gels? Give me a shot in the ass twice a week and I am happy
OE2000I've been on TRT for about 4 years now, all the gimmick gels and creams suck! Jpal said it, messy, gives you skin rashes, and the patch itches to the point of removing it! Injections is the only way to go for me. The only rollercoaster ride I felt was early on injecting 200mgs biweekly, now its 250mgs per week, OR, 125mgs, every Monday and Thursday
AnonSure TNE injected several times a day will give you highs and lows throughout the day. Your Doc is a fucking quack.
Correct me if im wrong but isnt that a low normal range get another doctor if he just wants you to have "normally" low testosterone
creams and gells are garbage they are messy sometimes give you rashes and you have to be carefull that you dont come into contact with any one
AnonI have come to realize what bs that is about coming in contact with anyone ;-) .. you don't get much transdermally and the actual risk of passing some test on to another person is pretty minimal.. I have used Gothics empty testim to boost my libido in the past and it worked quite nicely and wouldn't you know it didn't turn me into a man.. ;-)
He also said, injections are once a month which doesn't seem like it would help much. Anyone currently using gel or cream for TRT?
Like OE2000, I had counted on ANDRODERM patches (2/d), but inevitably sweating and activity would make them come off . .they just got me to about a 500 reading.
My MD being hesitant to go to injections has left me on the 2 patches which I top up with injectable from reputable UG labs . .and all is better than ever thank you
My dad used andro gel for awhile, and his doc discontinued his use bc it wasn't working. He is now on trt injections 1ml every week (although he uses other compounds too). He had to be careful while around the female members of my family too so they didn't get any of the gel on them. Injections are the way to go. Your doc doesn't know much about this, find a new one.
