    My Experience w/ First Week of Injections. Questions

    **UPDATE** It's three days later, and I'm due for my next injection this evening. I have however noticed that I now have a small lump in my stomach fat where I injectected on Sunday. It's not painful, but is slightly uncomfortable. Is this normal with subq and should I expect this each time?

    My Experience w/ First Week of Injections. Questions

    38yr old newly on T-Gel and not happy.

    I may be "too young" for this, but do you have any constructive suggestions? I eat right, I sleep right, I exercise 5 days per week. I go to my Dr. for an annual physical, and yet I'm still symptomatic.

    38yr old newly on T-Gel and not happy.

    Good question. I apply the gel every morning after my shower, the morning of my blood work I went in early prior to application.

    38yr old newly on T-Gel and not happy.

    Sorry in advance for the long story. I’m 38 years old and currently on a TRT gel prescribed by my primary doc- here’s my story. 4 years ago I made a dr appointment to discuss the embarrassing ED issues I was having, the Doc ordered blood work and I came back in for a followup. She said my T...

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
