Title: Testogel???
Post by: Sazduggs on October 07, 2018, 09:15:53 PM
Does anyone know if testogel sachets are available again?

Since April I've been on testim tubes but I prefer testogel, it's either really high at 6 (using everyday)or really low at under 0.5 (using 2-3 times a week) on it but with testogel I used it everyday and maintained a constant level of around 3 which was perfect!

I'm too worried to have the pellet inserted as I'm terrified of being hairy  ;D

I don't know - when I got my prescription in May I think they weren't available and I wrote to Besins and they said they would still be available despite their introduction of the pump-pack of more concentrated Testogel - and then proceeded to try to "sell" me this as a better product (for men).

I managed to get one of the last boxes of Testim sent to the dispensary at our GP practice and because it contains 30 tubes this will last more than a year but I agree that I prefer Testogel. I had a blood test done just before the changeover and my GP was worried because mine was over 2!! However I calculated the Free Androgen Index (and gave her the RCOG ref range) which she wrote on my notes, to show the FAI was in range.

Strange how yours varies - but T tests are not very accurate though for women. I'd be interested to see what mine is but I doubt it will be done again until my review next year.. how much do you use and how long does a sachet last for you?

No we don't want hairy!!!
