Pros and cons

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Happy holidays everybody!

Recently I posted that I was using 5g androgel (t-level 210) and I

believe I am starting to feel a little better. I have had read

several posts supporting the use of depo shots. The gel seems okay

but the daily applications and cost are things I am looking at. Also

what happens when your E2 levels rise? How do you treat this?

Any and all feed back would be welcome.

Androderm and Androgel are very very expensive ways to get T into

you. A local compounding pharmacy can whip up a much stronger gel

skin spread for much less money. Depo shots are the cheapest, and

many feel very effective. You can greatly control estrogen

conversion by doing a 100mg shot once a week rather than a 200mg

every two weeks. This evens out the roller coaster effect. And to

me one half of one cc of a depo shot once a week or so beats putting

on a skin spread every day. Cutting out sugar,bread, taking a zinc

with copper, etc, are all positive things to do to control the

effect of excess estrogen. Also, prescription Arimidex, expensive,

is probably the single most effective estrogen blocker. One has to

be very very careful with Arimidex as it can easily work too well,

and drive you estrogen too low and that is a very bad thing -- no

libido, no erections, no orgasms.
