[QUOTE="FOX1, post: 87636, member: 15594"] Directly where advised by your prescription TRT replacement cream / Gel leaflet As below there is a separate Cream/compound for scrotum; no idea what it is, what it is for and why it is used, perhaps someone who uses it can be specific and answer that for you. . As for Testo Gel which I use, the leaflet which comes with it instructs you to apply on Shoulders and upper arms, the lower abdomen can also be used. . I usually run a razor across shoulders and upper arms when in shower, takes less than a minute. I then dry myself off then apply the gel - 2 x 50mg (5g gel). Once rubbed in, I then brush my teeth, by the time I have brushed my teeth, the gel is fully dried in, completely dry and I get dressed. From applying to being fully rubbed in and dry is less than 5 minutes. (NOTE: this is not the case for "Testim" an other creams / Gels, Testim is a thicker cream and when used can take a good 15 mins or more to fully rub in). . I have tried Testo Gel application also to my upper thighs, I shave upper thighs and hip area when in shower, then apply same as you would to shoulders & upper arms, this area works just the same. . My results for Total Testosterone over 18 months, with initial 6 weekly blood tests when starting and now regular 3 monthly blood tests is on average; 30nmol/L - (8.0 -27.4). Conversion 30nmol/L = 865ng/dl Last month, for a full month I tried fully shaving with shower, drying off and applying, then after 2 hours rubbing in moisturiser, I tried this for a full month (fact I was on vacation for 18 days helped). The results for total testosterone were; 42.8 nmol/L (8.0 - 27.4) this was exceptionally high and I was advised to drop down to one and a half sachets per day. Conversion 42.8nmol/L = 1235ng/dl . I am continueing on 2 sachets but refraining from using moisturiser, the next blood tests will confirm I expect that total testosterone will have dropped back down to upper limit. . Obviously my free and bio testosterone were also checked as this was the main reason I was put on TRT due to Osteopenia (lower bone mass). My free and bio testosterone were just above the upper limit . Feel free to ask me any questions regarding Testo Gel as I have used it for 18 months (apart from one week on Testim which I eventually binned and returned to Testo Gel). [/QUOTE]
