They can be made to be up to about 10x stronger than gel, so they can get your numbers wayyy up if so desired. A lot of people start at 200mg/day (4 “clicks” with a lot of applicators). I did 3 a day and was at 1500+ total and high 30’s free T… so they def work.
They aren’t alcohol based, so they can be applied to areas like testicles. There is a lot of 5ar enzyme there (and thin skin and a lot of blood flow), meaning you get a boost of DHT by applying there and absorption is really good. Some people say this helps a lot with libido. I didn’t really get a huge gain there or anything but I also think I’m weird now because I used fin & dutasteride for so long, not sure I react to DHT the same as most.
Never used creams or gels, I’m good with injections, but the idea of rubbing my balls a couple of minutes twice a day doesn’t seem like an awful lot of effort to me…
I’ve tried Proviron. It works well but also is not ideal on the system. I prefer to stick to T for any long term use. But it definitely works on libido, no question for me.
Eh anything that can be transmitted to another person that easily seems dubious to me. What if you have sex or have residual cream left somewhere and toddler comes into contact with it.
Injections are elegant and pretty easy to do safely
I’d assume if you rub it in properly and avoid sex for a short period the likelihood of any serious level transmission would be minimal. Bit like saying that if you needles lying around that toddlers could get hold of them, it all depends on cautiousness around kids and following basic safety precautions.
Also you said effort - not side effects!
But I’ll stop I’m being facetious and was mostly just chuckling to myself about the thought of rubbing your balls being an effort!
Not sure but Tailor Made had a thing where you contacted them to request the med you wanted, then they asked for Dr’s Rx, then they sent you the meds. Empower may be similar.
My first post here…I was on Dr Crisler’s forum back before it ended.
So…I was on both trans dermal testosterone cream plus cypionate for a couple of years.
Originally the reason I tried this was because, like many men I don’t absorb a trans dermal very well and could not get high enough in the range to feel normal but I wanted to stick with the transdermal because my libido was better with the transdermal cream…probably because of DHT conversion.
So my thought was to stick with the testosterone cream but inject (sub-q )just enough cypionate every 3 days to raise the base line a couple hundred points.
This worked reasonably well although not perfect and the only reason I stopped a couple of months ago was that with the pandemic, my business dropped off a lot and to save money on prescriptions I dropped the monthly bill on the transdermal…and lets face it…compared to the cost of a vial of cypionate which lasts me a few months…the transdermal just costs more
Unfortunately…I gotta admit that while I’m at the top of the range on just cypionate…my libidos pretty much dead right now!
I’ve heard of people doing that for the reason you’re talking about. Inj for the main trt and some test cream for the dht bump
I may give it a try myself but most of it with inj as the main component with some cream for a small bump to dht. Still trying to get to feeling good/dialed in, but I’m starting to see a glimmer of hope… certianly in a better mood lately after my latest dose adjustment.
Roscoe, Ive been struggling with arousal/libido/erections for over 3 years on trt (injections) They were all literally none existent. Ive been on scrotal cream for 2 weeks now and its getting better! Just a thought
