    TRT Numbers

    Is it possible that the testosterone is working even though the numbers are low. In other words, could the “free” testosterone be high even though the normal number is low? I do see some good changes.

    TRT and PSA

    I’ve posted before; however, there’s an update. I tried androgel 1.62%, 40 grams. . Not only did it not work, my psa went up from 3.7 to over 5! Lately i tried testesterone gel, 1%, 50 grams because i heard it may work when androgel doesn’t. Nope. Didn’t work. Testosterone went down and PSA up...

    TRT Numbers

    Ok, androgel didn’t seem to work. My testesterone numbers were around 300. I’ve restarted it because i was feeling badly. I feel better since taking it. The “300,” is that always accurate. I know there’s another measurement (free testesterone?). Is it posssible the two measurements could be...

    Phasing Off Androgel

    Need some help. I’ve been taking androgel for quite awhile (over a year) and it’s not working. Testosterone is now lower and PSA is up. Until I can see a urologist, i want to get off the androgel. I already struggle with anxiety, so don’t want more of it if it’s possible to get worse when...

    Androgel and Testesterone Gel

    The tubes are “stickier” than the androgel. The androgel didn’t help. Wondering if the tubes will.

    Androgel and Testesterone Gel

    Is there a difference between these two? I know the androgel is 1.62% and the other is 1%, but are they the same thing? I believe the pharmacy gave me the tubes as a generic for testim. They have discontinued testim and only have a small amount left.

    Methitest

    I’ve tried androgel and it didnt work. I wanted to try testim; however, insurance wouldn’t cover it. They do cover Methitest tablets. Any info on this?

    Androgel and Moisturizer Cream

    Androgel didn’t work. I’ve seen a study where using moisturizing cream an hour after application increased testesterone when androgel alone didn’t. Anyone have experience with this?

    Androgel Not working

    Went tomorrow. He was concerned with the increase in my psa. Weird since my tester one never went up while on it. Took me off androgen. Wants blood test in 3 weeks to see if osa goes down below 4.7. If not, he’ll send me to a urologist. Should i be concerned? Will it go back down?

    Thank you for the response. My psa has gone from 3.2 to 5.6. Doesn’t this possibly lead to an enlarged prostrate?

    Androgel Not working

    Madman, you’ve been a great help with your posts. I’ll probabkybteybteatim before the oral route. Have you been using the oral versions? If so, what’s your take? And, how about the elevated psa numbers?

    Androgel Not working

    Looks like the study only discusses that Testim T rates are higher than Androgel. My issue is there is No increase in testesterone using Androgel. However, I assume, based on the 2007 study, Testim is better absorbed?

    Androgel Not working

    Another quick question; if i want to stop androgel, for now, do i have to taper even though its not raising my testosterone?

    Androgel Not working

    Thanks for the response. My last test was 231 and my PSA went up to 5.6. When i had labs shortly after taking the gel, the numbers were up; however, over time, they went down.

    Androgel Not working

    I’ve been using androgel for almost a year at different pumps. Lately, 4 pumps of 1.62. Testestesterone has not gone up at all. I saw a study from 2007 where participants using androgel weren’t seeing results. 70+ percent saw an i crease when they switched to Testim. Anyone else have this issue?
