Hi Otes73
Well done for getting Testogel from your GP!!!!!
However I've just had a look at your other posts and I see you are on a low dose of oestrogen - only 1 pump. Personally I would increase your oestrogen dose for several weeks - even 3 months - before applying the testosterone. You are still very young so a high dose of oestrogen will be fine - difficult to judge I know if you have had a hysterectomy as you may still be producing your own oestrogen. Did you have severe symptoms before starting the estrogel?
The reason why I say to increase the oestrogen first, is that if you apply too much testosterone relative to oestrogen this can lead to an imbalance and increase the chances of the androgenic side effects - ie acne, hair loss and hair growth ( in different places), weight distribution, voice etc
I am a lot older than you but I only use a pea-sized blob of T so my sachets last a fortnight - maybe longer. If you kept your ovaries then you will still be producing some T (as well as from your adrenals).
So my suggestion would be - increase your oestrogen for a while - I see your doc said you could increase the dose - so do get his sanction for this so you can be prescribed the right amount. Then depending on how you feel say after 3 months then start the T - and I would start with a pea-sized blob. No point in using too much too soon...
There are a few other T users on here so hopefully someone in your position and nearer your age may be able to advise better?
