Androgel sachet question

Hey guys.

I have a bunch of androgel sachets each  but I want to start on  to be safe (I´m using hormones with supervision from my GP but not a gender clinic). I tend to have a bit of a strong temperament and high stress so I need to see just how it works out first on a low dose.

My question - might be kind of silly but going to ask anyway - do you think I can use half of a sachet so it´ll be  and use the other half the next day? I know there are androgel pumps out there where you dose your own amount, so I was wondering if it´ll stay good if you keep it until the next day.

If not I´ll look for a way to get the  ones.

I used to be on Testogel which - I suppose - is kinda the same as Androgel? Idk, it's gel in a tiny bag anyway. :D

Anywho, I was on half dose for the first three weeks which meant half the sachet per day. I used the remaining half the next day and didn't have problems. Some say you should discard the remaining half but I closed it as best I could and put it in a fridge.

Of course you can't be 100% sure you'll get the exact half a dose this way but that's how the doctor instructed me so it can't be all that wrong. *shrug*

My apologies for mentioning dosage earlier and thank you Mariah for editing  :)

Thanks Tossu-sama, yeah it is the same thing. Just different names.
I suspected that it would stay o.k (I mean if it stays okay in a pump for weeks, then why not in a sachet).

I used the satchets of Testim when I first started. 1 satchet = 1 day generally, but my doctor had me start at a half dose so half a satchet. I'd confirm that that is okay with your doctor, but I think it's an easier start than the whole thing.

Thanks Max!

It´s safer I think, to start on a low dose. Especially considering that I have other trouble like anxiety. I actually begun yesterday and I am glad I did not start on a high dose  ;D

Waaay to much energy all of a sudden...
