[QUOTE="Riz747, post: 169263, member: 40066"] Hello and thank you for this forum. You can call me Riz. I am a 57 year old male, living in Northern California. I started TRT 10 years ago. For some inexplicable reason, I simply stopped producing Testosterone. My Dr. could never pin dow the reason but I went form normal levels to that of a 100 year old man almost over night. I started on Androgel and hated it. The alcohol based vehicle gave me a headache and the application was terrible. I work in Pharmaceuticals and was complaining about it to one of my customers about 6 months into it. She gave me the formula she uses and the name of a custom compounding pharmacy in Tn. I worked with them till the old pharmacist started to make mistakes. Then I moved, along with his staff, to another, larger Tn. based compounding pharmacy. I've never looked back. I have them make a "liquid" based vehicle with 10mg T and 5mg Chrysin per drop. My dose is 7-8 drops on my forearm, BID, am and pm. My T levels hover around 900 to 1,100. I get tested about 2x/year. It's been ten years now and I am feeling great. My lean mass is easy to build and keep. I have no issues with trunkal acne. My estradiol ranges are within normal and I have not developed gynomastia. I have energy, decent skin, great bone density and sexual function, all the good things that we are looking for. The bad? Well, my body hair has ramped up. I can also get agro at about 3:00pm. That fades after an hour or so. The other is the compound itself... it can leave a white, powder residue on the skin that will stain clothing. The vehicle does not allow for complete absorption. So, I had the pharmacy send me a 500 gram tub of "Pentravan Plus" which is a cream based vehicle with excellent percutaneous absorption. I wait for my "T" to dry and then I rub some P+ on top of it. I tried to get my Doc to write a new formula with Pentravan Plus as the sole vehicle but he doesn't know how and the pharmacist won't tell HIM how to do it so I am stuck in the middle (I know what he needs to write but I can't seem to get them on the phone together). One things that I do is I take all my left overs, I allow the vehicle to separate and rise to the top. I pour that off and then put it in a small, sterile tub with Pentravan plus and mix it together.
