A month and a week on Androgel and T only raised 26 points.

Can't really afford to up my dose of androgel since insurance screwed me over on it. They said they will cover T replacement if test is under 300 unless the lab states you are within range. Whatever lab my doctor uses 249 is the low range. Told him that labcorp uses 348 for their low range so he had his assistant look up where I could get tested with them and he said I could go there.

Told the doctor I wanted to try a compounding cream and told him of a compounding pharmacy. He said he had never written a script for a test cream but he would have his nurse look into it. He said the other option is depo shots every 3 weeks. Told him I didn't want to do that because I thought shots needed to be weekly.

What kind of dose should I be looking at on a compounded cream?

Thanks for the link. What do you recommend I ask for from the doctor? Since they don't know I'd like to be able to ask for a fairly strong dose. Thanks!

I'm now using about 1.5 grams of 5% compounded T cream. I mix it with a splash of water to make it spread out. I then apply to shaved shoulders, shaved armpits and any remainder to shaved scrotum/thighs. I spread it thin and rub it in vigorously. It takes a bit to dry.

Works like magic. Last T levels were at 700. I've been low T for a very long time, so I have a good "feel" for when it's right and when it's not.

I cannot use Androgel. Even with massive doses, it simply does not work for me.

Shots were a roller coaster ride, and I react to the carrier oil. Causes me coughing fits post injection and breathing problems. Not everyone has these issues with injections, but they are a "known" side effect for some.
