[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 206083"] Okay, let's work through this. Using testosterones creams and gels is not the same as injecting testosterone. I am not sure what the absorption percentage is on cream. It may be similar to gels. Androgel published an absorption percentage of 10% and Testim gel is 13%. If you use 100 mg a day of Androgel you are only actually getting 10 mg per day being absorbed by the body. With Testim it would be 13 mg per day. So using Androgel absorption and 400 mg per day you would essentially be getting 40 mg of testosterone being absorbed by the body per day. With Testim it would be 53 mg per day. I would think the absorption of cream would be even higher especially if being put on the scrotum. Those are realty big number numbers. As for me, I inject testosterone cypionate daily. I inject 24 mg per day which by most peoples standard is probably a high mg. Many injecting daily are injecting between 8 mg and 16 mg per day. I would be curious as to what the absorption percentage is on the cream you are being prescribed. That would help you know what the true amount of testosterone is being absorbed by the body. I am sure their are members using the testosterone cream that are much more knowledgeable than me. I used the gel, Androgel and Testim, for many, many years before injecting so I have a very good understanding of that relationship. [/QUOTE]
