get androgel..... legally!

[biggerthanu450]

I just got a prescription of androgel, and was wondering how others have made out on it.
How do you incorporate androgen replacement into your cycles, especially when you have to get bloodwork done to show that you are maintaining optimal levels?

Note: If anyone wants to get legal testosterone.
Go to the doctor following your cycle, get a blood test to show your testosterone is low, then talk him into prescribing it to you....it's that easy...and cheap if you have a prescription plan.

androgel is only good for your overall test count-it won't make you look any better

Using two 5 gram doses/day will raise blood levels equal to 200mg/week of enanthate, but LH will not be suppressed, and E2 levels will not be elevated. The 272 patients had significant increases in LBM, and decreases in BF.

Also a good paper published in 1999 comparing it to enanthate.
-It's the only drug Ron Coleman uses

androgel

i look at it like this. if the androgel bumps up my test level by 300 points , then i'm that much closer to the superpharmalogical state that would result in gains. that said, i would rather have a shot of depotest anytime

I tried Rx Testoderm once. 6mg daily dose. Didn't do much. But I'm comparing it to Deca and the likes that I took 20 years ago. I did get a bad case of Rosacea. Had to go back and get some Metrogel to clear that up. I was 52 at the time and my Test wasn't even low, but the doc gave it to me anyway. I just wanted to try it. He asked me later if I would prefer Test injections. He didn't seem to have any problem prescribing Test, but Deca and the synthetic orals are a no no.

Androgel sucks. Everyday application to see min. results, 1 cc p/w of Testoviron depot for me brings my Test levels from 74 to 890. You cant beat that.

I agree with you Megadeth, and i somewhat take back what I said about androgel. Androgel did bring my test levels up, but enanthate is a much beter long-term choice. I had to use androgel for 3 mouths and then switch to enanthate (for HRT) to make a objective comparison, and enanthate wins...hands down!

Dial_tone,
Do you use 200mg/wk for HRT. If so, how long have you been doing so, and do you have any side effects (low HDL, high liver enzymes)? Also, do you use a low dose of anti-Es with 200mg/wk? I use 1 tab of femara (2.5mg)/wk, divided in 2 doses, and this has put estrogen on the low end of normal (~15 pg/dl).

Androgel

I used androgel for a while. A pack only gives you 50 mg of
testosterone per package of 5 grams. I get my testosterone
from an anti-aging clinic where the formulations go up to
20 %. What I'm using gives me 200 mg of testosterone per
gram. So I get 60 grams per month. That means I can apply
up to 400 mg of testosterone per day. I myself only use
200 mg. If your intertested check them out.

I am on Depo-Test since my insurance pays for it. They will not pay for AndroGel (which is about $150 a month?).
