Urgent question!

Guys I need your urgent help! so this is what happened: last night I went out and thus couldn't apply the T gel (I usually do it around 12am), so this morning when I woke up I did (at 11am more or less) and now I'm not sure if I have to use the gel again as it's still the same day and it will only have been 12 hours since my last T application. Maybe I should wait till tomorrow night? I don't want to "overdose" (if I can) nor turn it into estrogen (as I've heard too much testosterone can actually cause the reverse effect) but don't want to miss a day either, I already have too slow changes with a normal schedule. Help please, I have to make a decision within the next few hours!

Can you call your prescribing doctor or pharmacist?

I can't, I can't reach her at the weekends, it has to be within the week (and within 3-6 pm I think, they're very strict). :/

Just wait until tomorrow night. Honestly, either one you choose won't make that big of a difference. Our bodies are very good at adjusting. Even if it does convert to estrogen, it's not like it will undo any changes you have so far; just one day is no big deal. Natural hormones aren't consistent; they are always changing.

Sorry, can't help with this. Maybe try googling a 24 hour pharmacy near you, or whatever out of hours healthcare there is, and give them a call? No idea if they'd have enough knowledge of it, but you might get lucky.

Whynaut: you're probably right, whatever I choose will be okay, then? My main worry is whether or not I can overdose from too much testosterone within one day, whether my body will endure it or I'll end up in the hospital lol. If it converts to estrogen I guess it won't change anything as you said so I probably shouldn't worry about that, I have little to lose anyway. And it's for only one day.

Lewis: hmm hadn't thought of that, a 24 hour pharmacy... I'll look it up on Google to see if I can find one, though it would be really strange that they'd know what I'm talking about so they probably won't be of much help. I'll try though!

No, you can't overdose and put yourself in danger. :) I'm about 99% sure a pharmacy will tell you to be cautious and wait at least 24 hours until your next dose. I'm not a medical professional but I did study medicine in undergrad before becoming a teacher and was a veterinary technician for years.

Thanks Whynaut! I feel much better now! I've called two pharmacies so far, both useless. I think I'll just get it over with. Btw it's funny, I've just finished a course to become a veterinary technician as well haha. Thanks everyone for your help!

the gel doses are so small... one day of using it twice won't hurt you.
if it helps, wait until 11:59pm and apply it and go on as normal tomorrow :)

Can you imagine how much of T some bodybuilders take? And they are still alive  ;)
Either choice is ok. You will not notice any difference.
