Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 How many grams a day and what %? You can take a small amount of T that will shut off your own production so you end up with less then you started with. I think everyone has gone through what you are going through..... at least i did. I doubled my dose of AG and felt better. > Just got my test scores after being on androgel for three months. 234 > and before I started Androgel it was 343.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 This is quite common. Your body has overcompensated for the external testosterone. Your dosage is too low. If your endo doesn't know this, he probably doesn't have a whole lot of experience with testosterone replacement. May be time to find a new endo. 3 months is a long time to wait to get tested after starting too. You should really do it monthly until you get to a level you feel good at. Those numbers are way too low to be normal. As my doctor says, there very well may be some patients who do fine at a T level of 400, but if there is, I haven't met them. You'll probably need to raise that sucker to 600+ at least before you start to feel things. > Just got my test scores after being on androgel for three months. 234 > and before I started Androgel it was 343.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Double your dosage!! Minimum. Also, not everyone has the same skin permeability. Yours might be like armour against the gel. If you don't raise your T to a high level on 10G a day consider a different form of therapy. Your doctor is dead wrong in claiming something about " just normal for you " . That is a load of crap. You can raise your levels high, just need better dosing. If that doesn't work, then you need a better method of delivery. Has nothing to do with you, just chemistry.
