Help Plz - Compound test cream

[bshane54]

Hi all,
I'm a 34 yr old male. I work out every day - about 200 lbs 6'2. 12% body fat. I noticed that my sex drive was down, and lower erections (not as hard) so I had my dr test me for low testosterone. Lo and Behold It was a 234. That explains lack of sex drive and lack of muscle being built even though I eat clean and eat all day with a reigimented diet. My question here is this:

My Dr gave me a 150mg shot of test yesterday - then sent me to pick up 150mg compound test cream. I've read a ton on it but can't seem to get a good idea of where to apply it. THis morning I applied to the inside of my biceps, but we have a 2 year old running around and I would rather keep this far and away from him. I know I don't want to put it on fatty areas, so anyone have any good ideas of places to put it? Im also a pretty hairy guy so most places would need to be shaved which isn't a problem.

Also my other question is - how much will my body actually absorb? My Dr gave me the choice of 1 test shot every two weeks (ugh) or the cream. I chose the cream so I don't have the massive ups and down s that come with 1 shot twice a month. I would like to utilize this to get some gains in the gym so the more I can absorb the better. Any help is extremely appreciated!

Thanks

Does your doc know you have a 2 year old? I have a 3 year old daughter and no way would I bring that stuff into my house - the effects of transdermals on children are scary to say the least. Either way is lose/lose for you, since the half-life of test cyp is about 10 days, meaning you're definitely going to be going on a hormone rollercoaster as you stated. Sounds like you need to either educate your doctor, or if he's unwilling to listen - find a new one. If he is willing to listen to you, push for being able to self-inject (it's very easy) and do it twice weekly.

does the compounded stuff come in a squirt bottle like androgel/axiron?

once every 2 weeks is way too long - 2x wk is best

No this comes in a "Clicker" 4 clicks of .25 ML to = 1ml of 150 mg of test each morning. I'm taking pretty big precautions with it. Right now I put it on my inner biceps and leave for work after washing my hands like 3 times (and cleaning off the knobs). anyone know the absorption rate and also if that's a good place to put it?

Like halfwit is saying get the injection. So much better then the creams and safe to your wife and kids. Tell him that your insurance will only cover the Test Cyp. its much cheaper too...My co-pay is 50 for 3 month supply...My insurance would not even cover the creams. But im glad they didnt. I would have never known how much better the Cyp is....Dont fear the needle, its not bad at all, and so worh the results....

creams suck IMO, but can work. If you put it on the morning and are gone all day. The risk of transfer is minimial specially if you were to wash the skin off

ah, i had wondered.

With the creams I was never able to absorb enough to get my test level above 650, plus the smell, stickieness, and risk to kids and wife....Im 44 185lbs 6'2", starting test level was 430......with the cyp i keep myself between 900-1100 using 1.5ml per week......

For the occasional guy the test cream works, it's an individual experience.

Thought I heard of some putting it on their inner thighs....seems like a safe place.

It is VERY irresponsible of you and your doctor to allow you to use creams knowing that you have a young child in your house. You need to get that stuff away from your child (and wife) immediately. You should switch to injections. You can't risk transferring Test to them.

not down playing what you are saying. But the stuff is not like anthrax either. If you read the directions and read up on it, as long as you let it soak in and then have clothes on its no issue. I cant rememember but something like after 8-10hrs the tranferability of it is minimal at best. Like I said not down playing what you are saying because there is truth, but its not that bad either, I took the stuff for 3 months, and the wife didnt grow a beard and the dog didnt grow a third eye.

I think it's just being a parent and wanting to eliminate any possibility of harming our little ones. Yes, cream and other transdermals have a place, but it's an added risk that can be avoided in my humble opinion. I know I would hate myself forever if I ever inadvertently caused permanent damage to my little princess. The wife on the other hand could use a little boost haha, but that's a different thread for a different forum. (No, I wouldn't intentionally put testosterone cream on my wife, but you can't blame a fella for dreaming, can you?)

I just don't think it is worth the risk when other perfectly viable options are available. Accidents happen.

I agree, but some people have issues with needles. And needles and such present their own risk. One has to take what works for them to include what is in their environment and make the best decision. I dont like gel either, but I think Gel unfairly promoted and I also think it is unfairly scruitinized as well.
