Why T-gel? Why not testosterone injections? I started TRT/HRT 6 months ago because I have low T. I had low T. I inject 200 ml every 10 days and my T levels are 800-900 the day before injection. Me estrodial is now on the low side of normal. I was on T gel years ago and it didn’t do anything for me. My levels barely moved. My fitness journey just started. I’m watching videos now just to see others opinions.

@@brucejoshua21 in my country for example we are required to use the gel for 3 months to see if our bodies react to it well before we're offered the option to switch to injections. and also everyone reacts differently to it, for many people the gel works just as perfectly as the injection does

@@gayidek I didn’t know that. I didn’t think of that either.

@Ikeonahike I can understand that.

@@brucejoshua21 personally i chose gel over shots because having shots usually gives me anxiety attacks!

Why does that even matter

@@aiden3091 It's a representation thing. Many transmasc folks are white and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that those of us who are racial minorities enjoy seeing people who look like us

racist

I worthless doctor has just made me switch. My first doctor gave me just the right dose. He retired so now I have to mess with all this. Are you having any luck with the cream?

@@ScottHendrix-yz3du hey! i have been on the gel for rougly 3 monrhs now and it was going well! the daily application was abit tedious but not that big of a deal. the changes definitely come slower, but the applying daily helped keep my hormones (and mood) more stable! i ended up going back to injections because it was easier/cheaper for me to inject. if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask

I'm being forced to switch from shot to pump. Have you had any luck with the gel?

TC Campbell me too bro hey we need to talk about this see if I’m having the same issue as you

Alexxus Wallace no prob

How many years have u been on TRT?

I'm having to switch to the gel. Did it work ok?

@ScottHendrix-yz3du Yeah, it really worked out great but I stopped using it and switched back to the injections because it kept blocking my ability to have spontaneous sex. It also stopped me from cuddling up at night with my wife because we didn't want the gel to rub off on her. The other thing is that the gel had me growing hair on my back and on top of my shoulders.

@@maheshbheemanatham652 I've been on TRT since about 1997.

@@chicagopapi6152 yeah I'm worried about all of that stuff except the shots made me grow hair on my back to. I can't even really grow hair on my chest or a full beard but now have back hair. I'll have to find another doctor I guess.

usually it’s because of dry skin, gives you a break and let’s you moisturise the other arm on the breaks

Rino Roh hey T INJECTION is much better than T gel

​@@adamsebastian74665 years late just to tell you that you're spreading misinformation because shots actually tend to imbalance hormonal levels and gel tends to stabilize them. 😭

kika Cabrera hey, I'm sorry your boyfriend is going through this, but I don't think diabetes type 1 is a no go for testosterone. I'm no doctor but I believe testosterone can affect sugar(?) levels and is not recommended to people who take insulin, because it can make the drug ineffective, but as long as his levels are checked I think he might be fine, but that's just me, again, I'm not a doctor.

He will be fine he can still go in T

Fellow type 1 here and I'm on T :) They say that it can make insulin a little less absorbable but that just means your partner would have to take slightly more units :) It shouldn't cause any more problems than that tbh but I've only just started so can't say for sure. An endo would keep an eye anyway. I'm starting to make videos about being on T with medical conditions so it'd be cool if you check them out so I can reassure as time goes on. There's nothing on my channel quite yet, I'm still editing 😂

Hey boo come to hamden Connecticut anchor health initiative is the only practice that doesn't require you to have a gender therapy approval.. they have u sign a paper its called a informed consent paper

@@bernardosouza2638 I'm type 1 diabetic and I was given confirmation from my diabetes consultant that I can start t and my blood sugar is fine

I hear that gel and shots really do not have a difference in how effective they are. They’re just different in applying it, as shots are either, weekly, bi weekly or even monthly depending on where you are. Some people say having shots can make them feel drained right before their next shot, while t gel is every day and kinda evens out the levels. Also you can’t really have skin to skin contact with someone for 4-6 hours after applying. The effectiveness usually depends on your genetics and how your body handles T. If you’re scared of needles it probably wouldn’t hurt to try Gel. I’m thinking of getting gel, as I don’t have a partner anyway to worry about skin to skin contact (if I ever do in the future I’ll think of injections) but I’m nervous about having to do the shots myself so maybe if I get a partner one day I would ask if they could do it too. I understand the anxiety of doing it yourself and am having an appointment today for t.

Lol

Same. 🙊

Omg lol

He used injections first, than switched to gel. Injections give you faster results.
