How hard can that be? > > thom -------------------------------------------- This is good question. My compounding pharmacy mixes up a plastic can that says 10% Testosterone or 120 gm on the label. They gave me a plastic 1/4 teaspoon thing that is supposed to equal 10gm my daily allowance. This seems to work pretty good and is quite cheap. They normally sell it as 5% for the same quantity but doubled it for me. norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get arimidex to reduce it, your total T will likely go up 200 to 300 points too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that considered " high " ??????????? norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Norton his range is 0 to 76 so he is on the high side. Phil > > > > >Hi > > > > > >The 100mg/day has only gotten my total T to 409.

Why is that >considered " high " ??????????? >norton I was reading quickly didn't see his stated range. I guess we'd need to know the measurement used. Here's what my lab says: ESTRADIOL (ADULT) FEMALE: PREMENOPAUSAL ...... 13 - 498 PG/ML POSTMENOPAUSAL ..... 0 - 55 PG/ML MALES: ................. 8 - 43 PG/ML So for my lab in pg/ml 52 is high. I had a level of 46 and it just sapped my energy. Now if he's using some different measurement well, lets see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Some of us tried putting androgel or testim on are testis and penis to see if it would help. For me it drove my DHT up 3 times over the top of the range. There is a formula in Dr. Shippens Book " The Testosterone Syndrome " that is a lot weaker then the gels maked at a compunding pharmacy that you put on the penis and testis to bring them back from lack of Testosterone. Get the book and read it it is a dam good read anyway just dated now. But still there is a lot of good info in the book. I would not put androgle or testim on the boys not a good Idea.

I am on Testim and I am reading where guys are putting gel on " their Boys " . Testim goes on your shoulder and arm. What goes on the testes? I thought there where just patches and Testim and injections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
