Androgel vs Nebido

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement
1

Hello everyone. Just found this site and i want to ask you something… so im doing gym 3 4 times a week for almost 2 years, clasic only vitamins, creatin, tribulus and some whey protein. But no big difference
I found out about trt. Done all blood tests, prostate
also, very good.
My t level is 4.7 with 7 max

Im living in romania and i have someone working in pharmacy who can get me anything… already bought androgel, daily apply… but i can get nebido injectable as well…
Which one u recomand taking?
Im 31 planing having a baby maybe next year. Will that affect also?

Neither. Both are suboptimal protocols application methods IMO. Regardless, TRT is not a PED. If you don’t need it, you won’t get anything out of it. Further…

Certainly. It will reduce sperm count drastically and possibly lead to infertility while on treatment. Good news is you can take a fertility protocol to help, but whats the point? Just don’t do it.

If you are not hypogonadal you don’t need TRT.

I don’t know anything about nebido.

I used Androgel and Testim for ten years before switching to injections. They kept me at 500 to 900 ng/dl. I don’t recommend using either versus injections, especially with kids and a wife.

Nebido is injectable testosterone undecanoate. Its half life is several months and its usually given in one big injection monthly I believe. Never been a fan. Test C / Test E are much easier to dial in.

Nebido takes around 12-18 months to dial in/reach steady state… so much simpler to just take test E/C

One shot a week… that’s it for most…

Androgel can work, but limitations are… can’t sweat/engage in physical activity for hours post application that and transfer to women and kids is well documented!

Even the scrotal scream (different trt product) there have been reports of transfering the T during intercourse!

When I was on androgel no one EVER told me of this risk!

But what’s the point of TRT if you don’t need TRT? Is OP a marathon runner that is going to develop compensated hypogonadism?

Evert 3-4 months

I’ve been told the injections are sore.

4ml IM at the doctors office injected with a huge needle

Then again I inject with 19 gauge, 1.5 inch long needles because that’s what primoteston comes with

I bruise terribly from my shots and limp for 1-2 weeks… meaning if I don’t alternate with shoulders I always have a limp

People with EDS bruise terribly, I am no exception. The shots always cause swelling, welts etc.

However it is difficult to backfill syringes with primoteston (look up primoteston)

The oil is extremely viscous relative to test C in the states. Getting it though 21 gauge + takes a long time

Injecting with slin pin takes 30 mins. I’m not sure what to do at this point. I’ve decided to suck it up for the time being

But long term scar tissue build up is a concern.

Sometimes I decide to miss a week so I can catch a break. That usually works

Thanks for clarifying my friend. I was going off of memory and probably should have just googled it!

Personally wouldn’t take either, Nebido is useless leaving test levels very low weeks before the next injection, plus painful 4ml injection

Gels also didn’t work at all for me also leaving my T level lower than my natural T levels, although I know some people apply two tubes/day rather than one

I would happily bet that with your natural T level being what they are, your T levels would be lower than your natural level if you start either of these

These are the go to medications for the UK nhs, and both suck in my opinion!

If you really want to increase your T levels and remain fertile 25mg clomid/day
