Looking for feedback from guys who have added Testosterone cream/gel to their injections

Hello

I've been reading that some guys have been adding test cream or gel to their test injection protocols and reporting a much improved libido. I understand the improvement in libido could possibly be from an increase in DHT levels. Can I ask those guys that have gone this route what made you want to experiment this practice? Was your libido unsatisfactory on your injection only treatment?

Thank you
 
I tried cream alone didn’t feel anything, I also tried to add it to my injection protocol again nothing. I am sticking with injection better and more convenient
 
I tried the cream in addition to my injection protocol. Didn't notice any increase in libido, but I did notice was a serious spike in PSA. PSA went up from my normal 1.2-1.7 range to 5+. I'm 58 and haven't ever had prostate issues (nor do I want them either). I quit using the cream and waited a few weeks. Went back to the doc for another blood draw and PSA was back down to my normal range.

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.
