[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 206195, member: 42264"] There are a number of anecdotes and opinions around on this forum about the creams. Some of them I have offered myself. Do some hunting and searching around and you’ll see what I mean. I really want creams to work for me, but I have struggled with them. I think the problem has been that it is common place to assume that most people don’t absorb the creams well and therefore compounding pharmacies make custom creams that are extremely high concentrations. Some people, like me, to absorb well. As I posted in another thread, unfortunately, I have not gotten my levels drawn while on the cream, but it takes a very short amount of time for me to feel way over the top. That said, it sounds like your provider is being rational and reasonable and starting you on a pretty low dose. I think that one of the challenges with creams is that it is difficult to know exactly how much testosterone you are absorbing, regardless of the dose. I find it to be an inexact science and I have failed miserably to do it correctly on a few occasions. However, there are some people that have enjoyed good long-term success with creams. I would just be careful. If you absorb well, like me, it could put you over the top. Mind you, the doses that I was working with were 150 mg per ML and 200 mg per ML. So, your dose is relatively small. Also, creams tend to elevate your DHT levels more than other forms, and that needs to be watched as well. [/QUOTE]
