Hi, just been swapped into Testogel from Testim tubes. Have bought some syringes to measure the dose, which I've calculated to be 0.5g a day.
Trouble is, the Testogel bottle does not open easily and once a bit of it is fine the syringe will not be big enough to go down into the bottle to suck it up.
Any ideas about how anyone else does this?

Not sure if this will help, but I'm using Androfem now and it comes in a tube like toothpaste. The instructions are to take the top off, squeeze gently until the cream appears at the opening (i.e. no airlocks), insert the syringe into the nozzle of the tube, turn the tube upside down so gravity helps and put the syringe down to fill. I use .5 and over fill a little and then push it back into the tube to ensure no air bubbles.
It depends if the opening to your bottle could behave in the same way I suppose.

Is this the Testogel 1.62 % pump pack? This is stronger than Testim (1 %). 0.5 g per day (8.1 mg T) would be quite a high dose if so - it would be approx the same as using a whole tube of Testim per week (which you might have been using). (If my sums are correct!) What has the gynae recommended?
There were a couple of posts on this recently so you could do a search although several posts may come up - try syringe, testosterone?
