Androgel info wanted..

[wayne9452]

Is there a reference for how long it takes for androgel to raise your T count? Also; does anyone know how long it take to clear your system after you have quit using androgel? I have been on the 5 mg gel for nearly a week with only slight results ( can leave house and don't sleep all the time).

My TT was 270 / E2 was at 17, and the rest of my labs came in normal,so I know the esteral is not the problem. I have some T sust and have considered switching to .5cc a week of it.
I will be listing all my stats and labs later but no time now. Thanks

Maybe not the answer your looking for, but I hope it helps. Skin absorption of Androgel varies widely from person to person. I started with one 5mg pack a day, and then went to two and my total test only went from 270 to 310 after 2 months. I do inj now.

Thanks gunz, I guess what I need to know is why after a week I still have no morning wood. I would have thought that the absorption rate would be better that this. I was wondering what the (common) rate as it pertains to the amount of test that is absorbed. Say how 5mg of gel compares to .5cc ew of injectables / 1cc, ect .

I don't think there is any way to predict your rate of absorption. The only way you will be able to answer that question is via bloodtest in a few weeks.
