Very excited, picking up my prescription of TRT this afternoon

I can't wait to try my first injection, this has been a long drawn out struggle for 6 months of no energy & anxiety.
 
Let us know how it goes. I've been on testogel for 2 (awful) weeks, and I've got some test cyp arriving in a couple of days, so I'll be starting around the same time as you.

What quantity/how often are you going to be taking it?
 
I got hosed by the pharmacy, they said they had it in stock & I drove 30 miles to pick it up & guess what not in stock. I was pissed but they said they should have it today. I am not sure what the dosage is yet. I am curious on how once you find your sweet spot that you keep it there. I tried trochies for 6 months without much success.

Did the testogel not work for you? why was it awful?

Gel seems to work for many for a few months and then absorption becomes an issue. I experienced high DHT levels and aromatization from gel, after a month or two of the gel working. The initial dose was tiny and boosted my T levels slightly, when I increased the dose, it shut off my natural production which actually caused my total T to decrease. Putting the gel on daily, letting it dry, squeezing it out of the tubes, and making a mess was not fun. Couldn't have sex without worrying about transfer. Became self conscious in a suit because my pants were sticking to my legs.

The bang for the buck just wasn't there.

Gotcha! that's why I opted for the shots, to many issues with the gel & kids & wife involved.

I'm right there with you on that. My doc offered gel, weekly self injections or a pellet implant. But I haven't seen enough info on the pellet which still sounds like a decent long term option if the amount released daily is comparable for the 6 months he said it lasts.

Now my struggle is getting mail order setup... Supposedly in the works but I'm nearing the last refill of my 100mg/ml Cyp and that will only last 6 weeks. But great news is that insurance covers the generic for nearly free, instead of my full price pharmacy dependence.
