[QUOTE="Keepfit1, post: 239827, member: 44282"] 2 pumps is only 40 mg most on here will be on 80++ When I was on Androgel only I was on 3.5 pumps a day two in morning, one at 2pm and 1/2 at 6pm. That gave me reasonable levels and libido if poorish FT. I would do best on 4-5 pumps but that dose bumps up my DHT too high giving hairloss and incresed PSA and BPH. If you can get daily microdosing injections at say 12-14mg/day it gives most even counts and is easier on Hct and DHT etc. As others said, before you give up on gels you need to test to see if its going in, a word of caution on testing with gels, obviously test in morning trough before application but contamination can be a big issue, gel on your hands will end up on your veins and if they take blood from that vein your T will be ridicilously high. When I am going to test for a week before the test I use rubber gloves to apply my gel to avoid contamination. The creams work great for some but personally I cant absorb 5% or 10 or 20. My reckoning the make it 1.6% for a reason which is probably because thats what works for most. Gel isnt perfect but it can work , however it can spike DHT as written above. Cream on scrotum gives a kick but really can spike DHT for many, no gel on scrotum of course. [/QUOTE]
