    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    Dose was lowered slightly. She lowered my dose from 100mg a week to 90mg, I was doing two injections a week in belly at 50mg. Now I will do 3 x 30mg. Thanks for the help guys!

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    I got her to give me cypionate again. That gel was really bad. I don’t think I was absorbing any. Day 2 back on cypionate. Already feeling much better. Appreciate the help guys!

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    She is an endocrinologist. My doctor sent me to this medical facility. For 4 years it was great.

    I’m hoping she can be reasoned with.

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    I am hoping to get her to change back to the injections by suggesting that I split the dose down to 3 or 4 times a week, so 3 at 30, or 4 at 20. I have read that it keeps it at a more even level and estrogen comes down as well.

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    Yes, I don’t see the logic behind this. I felt good, no, better than good. For the first time in many years, I had energy, good sleep and a libido. Now I have no energy, terrible sleep and my libido is all but gone. Also, that gel is very expensive.

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    What are other ways to reduce estrogen? My doctor that left the practice had me take estrogen blockers, but the second she arrived she took me off of those. Are there other ways you know of? It was mentioned that I could try splitting the dose down to 3 times a week at 30 instead of twice a...

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    I don’t know, I’ve sent her messages and she just responds, “keep me updated.” I can’t believe how I feel. I don’t know what to do at this point. I toss and turn all night now, so the lack of sleep isn’t helping at all.

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    I felt like lashing out at her today. Told her I felt like crap, and she said, “maybe it will go away? I think it takes a few weeks to get in your system?” Uhhhh…..ok?

    Hello, question on being switched from cypionate to androgel.

    Thanks. Yeah, she didn’t try to adjust my dose, she just switched me to androgel which she told me nothing about, just sent a message saying I am switching to androgel. So far, not so good. I didn’t realize it takes weeks to work and I would have to feel like this for a while.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
