Hi jb75002 and Bruzer I live in the UK and Androgel isnt available here and I would very much like to try out this gel.
Is there anyway possible that I could get hold of some Androgel just to try it because it was very disheartening to hear that it wasnt availabe here?

Any help will be much appreciated.

I started out with compounding testosterone cream at 5 % ..LOVE IT! WOULD DIE WITHOUT IT! I was given the Androgel 1 % this month and din't think anythin great is hapopening. So next month I am asking for the old cream back. I am 46 3/4 was trying all kinds of herbs, zolft...blah blah blah...was gaining weight, getting depressed, felt old, no sex life....... basicly knew it had to be menoapause........than I started the cream and life is back to normal but 100% better. I was able to stop all herbs, pills and do a daily dose of cream....younger hubby isn't complaining either. I told my Dr. isf she stops giving this too me I"LL KILL MYSELF.he he he FABULOUS FABULOUS STUFF!

If you use it and it works for a month or so then seems to lose effectiveness then have your female Esterone E2 levels checked.

It may be too high & will offset the new testosterone.

The "T" level should be over 500 & the "E2" level should be less than 30

Ask you doc to check on using hCG instead of AndroGel.

AndroGel is expensive. Compounded Tgel is much cheaper if you have a good local compounding pharmacy.

Compounded testosterone gel or cream is about 1/4 the cost of the aAndroGel.

Good luck,
