Im 43,...if a person my age wanted to do test how much would be necessary to basically make levels equivalent to lets say age 28. Not overdo it, just have normal levels.
Normal protocal is 200/wk or 400/ 2 weeks. I tried compounded gel at first but didn't like it. Shit covered my entire arm and maybe it was in my head but it seemed like really crude test i.e. suspension. What i mean by that is that whether it was in my head or not it was like i could feel it converting. Pain in the gyno area, acne within two weeks, and my scalp and hair starting feeling dried out. I asked for injections instead and was honest with the doc about my use in the past. Told him i was most comfortable with enanthate vs. cypionate as i knew what to expect (it was always my favorite and base of my cycle) Cyp made me hold water like a blowfish. I told him that i didn't want to come in every week for a shot and that i knew from prior use that i would start crashing back down around days 9-11 so 2 weeks was too long. We agreed on 350mgs every ten days. It took a couple months to start feeling good again.....i was way fucked up though since it took me forever to find a dr. that would actually treat the prob instead of the symptoms. It's funny how as a man, a dr. is scared to give you the hormone that is in your body that makes you a man, but they will pump you full of every fucking anti depressent there is to make you forget whats wrong. Thank our government and the media for that.
Bottom line is this. If you get your levels checked and you are low don't wait. If you're dr. tries to tell you that you are norm when you are at the bottom of the scale that is not in fact normal at your age. If your dr. tries to give you anti d's instead....punch him in the face getbig style and go find a new dr.
good luck
p.s. - someone mentioned you have a baby....imo the gel is NOT an option for you at all. The instructions say to keep children and women away from the applied area as it can get on them and absorbed potentially. Who would want to have to turn their kid away when they want to be held cuz of the medication they are on?
