Title: Starting T tomorrow!
Post by: Turtle on March 14, 2011, 05:52:00 PM
Hi everyone - it's been a while since I posted, but I'm pleased to say things are moving finally. I'm now the proud owner of two boxes of Testosterone gel. I start tomorrow morning. Has anyone used the gel and got any good/bad things I should be aware of? Any handy do's or don'ts? I'd be very grateful for any advice.

Thank you!

Congrats! Not sure if it makes much difference, but these are the general rules I follow with the gel:

Put it on shortly after showering, but when skin is completely dry.
Put it on at around the same time every morning, give or take a couple of hours. (If nothing else, this helps to make the application part of your morning routine so you're less likely to forget.)
Spread it on as large an area as possible, avoiding very hairy areas.
When you can't squeeze anymore out of the sachet, cut it open as there will be a small amount left inside.
Don't put it on your downstairs, it stings like a mofo and doesn't make any difference to growth.

Hope this helps  :)

Thanks guys!

No problems today - feeling incredibly happy (despite the predicted lack of sleep!!)

And Greg, I promise I won't put the stuff ANYwhere except the recommended places  ;)
