Title: Different Delivery of T?
Post by: NightWing on November 27, 2010, 03:46:42 PM
I notice that most people, when they talk about T here, always talk about the shot.  How come the patch and gel are never mentioned?  Are they not as effective or is something wrong with them?

I'm on the gel at the moment. It is super expensive, I am going to look into compounded creams. The gel seems to be working fine for me, actually it seems that like since i've started the gel a few weeks ago, my facial hair is coming in like crazy. it is probably timing though as I've been on T almost a year. It probably would have been coming in at this rate anyway.

Ah, so it's just a price difference, and that's all? And I actually didn't know about the creams at all.

There have been several people here who have used gels or creams and get good results. However, as mentioned above they are more expensive than the shots so it's more common for people on a budget to go with shots.
