these are from the manufacture made for the GP's administering and there's one in there for the patients.

I haven't read all of them yet so if you find anything interesting post it up....

It's interesting brochure.

2xdaily testogel has on average the highest result (compared to Reandron) but not everyone achieves optimal bio availability from transdermals compared to injections.

I'm considering a test re-test however. Have been applying it in different locations (forehead, jaw, scrotum) and have noticed improved results. So I'm guessing I now have double digits TT now

Hey T2 or Simm
If you have the time can you explain to me the differant in test from creams and IM.
I thought that they were both versions of synthectic test just the way their administered was differant.

T2 will have to answer this.

I am only aware of the existence of the distinction b/c of T's latest postings.

Here are my recent blood test results ha ha!

I am a freak of nature.

These results have not been reported on by my endo yet, so any help would be greatly appreciated:







What do all these numbers mean? LOL

Also, my endo and I discussed TRT etc. She said if no complications etc come up in my recent blood tests, I would have a script for TRT on Tuesday/Wednesday. She did say however, that I have a high red blood cell count or something? And this would need to be monitored closely when I start TRT.

I have decided to go with the injections rather than the gel etc.

I think she said I would be on 250mg Sustanon every 3 weeks. Is that right?

Thanks everyone.

That sounds about right but if your gonna go the IM 'synthetic' route you might as well go reandron for more stable blood levels with sus or e your gonna feel really good for 4 days then back to normal for a few days then feel like shit for a week or more even once a week is not the best twice a week is best practice.

Only had quick look, but interesting that both ur T and cholestoral is super low?

How much fat is in ur diet and dietary cholestoral? Your T is almost as low as mine was. It's amazing how much difference moving from T of 1.6 to 9 has made to training in terms of recovery etc

Yeah its strange as... Am getting around 65-75g fat a day.

Most of my fat comes from Sardines and Almonds.

Andrew, have you had an MRI of pituratry gland yet? I too have very low LH levels and went for the full Endo work-over...

Best to rule out any nasty things first.

Yeah mate had an MRI and CT scan done.

Pituratry gland is normal...

However, they did find a skull lipoma and I am seeing a neurologist about that. But that is not related to my low test levels.

Sometimes, as in a few other members and my case, there is no explanation for low LH or T levels... A little frustrating.

Pretty much what my endo said heh...

Would a brain CT pick up a Pituratry tumor?? or only detecable by MRI?

They did an MRI first of the pituratry gland, than they found the lipoma, than they sent me back for an MRI and CT scan of the area in question. After doing so they confirmed it was a lipoma.

But for further monitoring/treatment etc they are sending me to a neurosurgeon.

Andrew, given your SHGB, your in a worse situation perhaps than I was.

And what's more your SHGB may mean you need a particularly high dose of exogenous testosterone.

I have to say my training has really noticeably improved on HRT - and total test is now only 9. Can't imagine what training would be like on 20+

The T cream I use is "Micronised Bioidentical USP Natural Testosterone"
