Was originally using Androgel, but it appears to have stopped working for me as well as it was at one time. Doc prescribed cypionate injections, 200mg every two weeks, told me stop with the Androgel. Three days later started feeling like crap again. Posted about here in another thread and was advised to go back on Androgel while the cypionate ramped up. After a couple days back on the gel started feeling better. At the 2 week mark got my second shot, now only 100mg every two weeks but wasn't able to talk to the doctor (I will when I see him next). Still not feeling up to par with both the gel and the injection, but definitely better than with the injection alone.
The question...when should I try weaning myself off the gel? My next blood test is scheduled for Sep 10. As a minimum how many days before that should I stop with the gel so it doesn't factor into things? I want them to see the results with just that piddling cypionate dosage. I really want to try the 100mg once a week, since that's the preferred starting point, just not sure I can talk my arrogant doc into it. Appreciate any help.
