I take it (presume) you are using the new Besins Testogel 16.2mg/g gel and daily prescribed dosage of 2 pump depressions which will give you 40.5 mg testosterone "application"?

Most in UK were on 2 sachets per day (100mg) which if using the plastic pump bottle is actually 5 depressions (even though max says 4 depressions).

2 weeks is early days and your doctor will raise this I expect to 4 pump depressions

same as when on sachets most started on one sachet, then 1.5, then 2.

Besins have just introduced this new bottle rather than the previous sachets.

Feel free to mail me direct, have you already converted the testosterone figure (540)?
Your LH and FSH will continue to drop

Your SHBG almost doubled, are you on thyroid meds? You may need to switch to injections, large doses to force SHBG down. See if you can't get Enanthate and inject twice weekly.

Gels makes it easier on the doctors, injections require skill.

Indeed the pump, the sachets in the UK have been phased out.

So, you're saying the results are okay? I looked at them and thought they'd tale me off!
