I've been on testerone gel pushing 2 years now. Back in December my level 1200 while doing 3 pumps and I was feeling great. Doctor wanted me to reduce the number some so he said to alternate 2 and 3 pumps everyday. Didn't feel much of a difference until last week when I got super tired that unnatural feeling again. I've noticed my morning wood I had everyday was gone. I was feeling yucky and now I'm at 300. What do I do?
 
Get a new doctor and go back to what works. There's nothing wrong with a Total T at 1200 as long as your CBC labs are within reason.

Topicals don't offer much in the way of control, maybe try injections at 120mg mg once weekly or split it up twice weekly.

Another option is Jatenzo, a twice daily oral T capsule. The recommended starting dosage for Jatenzo is 237 mg twice daily.

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.
