Testosterone Gel

[bonangus]

Hi Guys,
My Doc wants to put me on Testosterone Gel and I have a couple of questions -

Will it make my balls shrink ?
Will it push my estrogen up ? If so will i need to take something to keep it down ?
How long should it take before I feel a difference ?
Has it helped anyone with ED ?
I lift weights will it make me stronger ?

Also what do you guys think of the natural testosterone that you can get made from a compounding chemist ? You can have it in a trouche form.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can as you get more testosterone into your blood your brain will see this and stop sending the messages to your testis to make more T. So they stop working and get small if you take 250 IU's shots of HCG this will keep them working so they will not get small.

Yes it can so everytime you get tested have this checked. If it gets to high it will give you ED. Most take Arimidex .25mgs every 3 days to keep it down. It needs to be between 10 to 30 pg/ml

It takes time first you need to get your levels back up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range for Total and Free T then little by little you start to undo the damage done by low T.

They are all about the same.

Question 1: No, not necessarily. There are ways to suppliment the axis, do some reaearch. Reasoning: A 17 YO has a TT of 1000, it is all natural, but it is still blood titer. Do his testicles exhibit atrophy? One also does not have to do this Rx. It can be done naturally.

Question 2: Not necessarily. I am a ratios man however. Some are, some are not: But I shoot for 30-1. There are many natural ways to block aromitization. Most are listed here or on the web.

Question 3: It took me a little while, pehaps a couple of weeks as I remember. The first increase I noticed was in physical strength. The second was a drop in depression.

Question 4: Erections and Libido are not Testosterone driven. But T is the foundation for the traits. One has to have reasonable T levels to make it all work IMHO.

Question 5: Yes, noticably stronger

I use natural compounding. It is all I will ever use as if done correctly it most closely duplicartes the natural rhythms of secretion. It takes a little practice and I use different transcutaneous morning and evening. The other choice for me might be an implant, but that is a constant titer.
Transcutaneous gives me the best results at the lowest cost while allowing me the easiest time keeping E down. Everyone is different.
