Naturally low test / prescribed androgel

[koala]

I'm 25 years old and I've always had the symptoms of low testosterone--low sex drive, low energy, etc etc. Until recently I never put it together that it could be low test. I went to the doctor and got it checked out: Total Test 252 ng/dL.

I've been prescribed androgel. What do I need to know about this guys? I'm afraid of gyno, is that something I should worry about?

truthfully androgel giving you gyno is like 1 in 100 at best. Just make sure you are getting reg hormone blood test with your doc and any problems that might come up you can get a script for. keep a bottle of forma-stanzol around as a line of first defense.

not truthfully bro. If you are big time prone to gyno then you might have to run something to reduce estrogen and prolatin every once in a wile. A light dose of the forma-stanzol would work from time to time.

IN my opinion that Androgel is a waste of money,ask for Test cyp you will be better off

I was going to say that but if he only needs hrt this will work. injects are stronger of course.

I guess I'll try it out. I have a follow-up in 6 weeks to check my levels, if it isn't working then I'll try switching to test cyp.

I have some experience in this area. I'm 37 and have been on HRT since I was 25 as well. My whole system is messed up due to a pituitary tumor. Anyway, I started with Androgel. It irritated my skin bad and it was a pain in the ass to remember to use it every day. Then I switched to enanthate. Finally I found out cypionate cost less so my doc started prescribing that. I inject myself with 200 mg every 14 days when not on a cycle. I can almost guarantee you that if you are sticking to the therapy dose given by your doctor that gyno will not be a problem.

Your 252 ng/dl is not extremely low. It's around the bottom of the normal range. My pre-therapy level was 72 ng/dl. That's within the normal range FOR A WOMAN LOL!

I do really well with the cypionate. It varies depending on how long the last injection was. It peaks at the upper end of the normal range, I'm thinking 800 ng/dl, but I might be way off on that, not sure. Don't worry about gyno. You should be able to make some gains in your training too.
